Hey Warriors,

I am new to this community, even this is my very first post here and I need some help

I have been looking for a tool or a way that can help me classify the backlinks of any page or site...


Example..

Let's say I did a search for a domain or web page in yahoo search explorer and it returned the list of back links with some crazy number (50000 let's just say for now), we can get only the list of 1000 links from yahoo search explorer, even if they give the complete list we can't sit and analyze each one of those...

What if I would like to get the list only .edu sites out of those 50000 or .gov or may be the list web pages with high PR... Is there any tool or a way to get that list classified????

Many Thanks...

    But then what process do u guys use to work on the info u find? Most the links u find are often ones u can't just go and get yourself. Also, if u have 1k links to compete with, its gona take forever..

    I think you're for a tool that can scrape these link right?
    Google "Scrape Link Tool"

    Try search a warrior member named - abs (or similar)
    He can create a custom software if I'm not mistaken.

      regardless of what system could do this for your it sounds like you're trying to reverse engineer a competitor website. I would recommend not pursuing that. Trying to re-create an established website is very difficult.

      You're much better off and will probably exceed your competitor if you build a new website based on your own principles and get links relevant not only to your competitor but more specifically to your own site. It's not a bad idea to examine the internal link structure of the competitor site but it's far too encompassing to try and analyze external factors to competitor website and actually figure out which links are helping them and which links are not and which links are legacy and just show up in the results having no value at all.

      Not only Google but people want new and unique things so try and look at it from a top-down level give people something they haven't seen before and that includes link structures even though people don't look at them.

      I hope that makes sense.. Don't spend time trying to re-create or analyze competitor site structures because you can have success much more quickly by doing your own.

    @ Steven Dybka, I will definitely have a look at the tool...

    @ brightgravity, Once we have the data we can try to get the back links from the same place. Yeah, I know we can't get back links from all the pages our competitors are getting from but still even if we get back links from 10% of the authority sites that's gonna be an additional advantage on the top of our own back linking strategy...

    @ tessa, I will definitely check it out..

    @ game333, I did try to do a Google Search for "Scrape Link Tool" but I could find any tool, in fact the only result Google displays for the query is this thread itself.... I would appreciate if you can provide the link of the website.

    Developing a custom software is really not what we are looking for at least at this point of time...

    @ NastyBlast, Completely agree with you. And we do use all the methods/techniques to get back links (blog commenting, web 2.0, social book marking, video, etc..) and we are ranking well in search engines but since the keywords we target are highly competitive it took us huge time to get there. We will continue to use our strategies for our new sites but we were trying to take it to the next level and as I said to brightgravity that even if we get back links from 10% of the authority site from our competitor's resources that's gonna help us get up fast...


    Warriors, Thanks for taking your time in responding back, really appreciated...

    Here, I think this should help. The software named LinkFinder, and I couldn't locate the download link.

    You should ask the admin there.

    Here's the tutorial video, is this what you're finding?
