Linking and Statistical SEO Tools - More Link-Related Tools

Solo SEO links search – This tool basically searches for keyword “add url” type commands on Google search. Some of the commands include "add site," "add your site," "submit site," intitle:directory "keyword," inurl:directory "keyword," "keyword blog," keyword "submit content." The down side is that free-for-all links like “submit URL” carry little weight on Google, and can actually hurt if done aggressively and in large numbers. On the bright side, the tool has shortcuts to a load of advanced commands and can save a lot of time. Keep it in mind as you’re doing link analysis.
Link Harvester – This tool relies on data from Yahoo (through Yahoo API), but shows much more than Yahoo Site Explorer. Information it can turn up includes the IP address of each page from which the link comes, gov/mil/edu and other authoritative domain extensions, and the Internet Archives, WhoIs Source, and Google cache near each link. The tool is also hosted at SEO Tips 101 and on Web SEO Design.
URL Trends – This tool collects link data from Google, Alexa, Yahoo!, MSN, AllTheWeb, Alta Vista, Teoma and IceRocket, as well as PageRank and Alexa Rank. URL Trends shows General Page Information, Site Rankings, Link Popularity, Search Engine Saturation, Social Bookmarks/Sites, Keywords, Outgoing Links, User Demographics and Cached Versions.
Its link data compares link information from Google, Yahoo and MSN. I haven’t used this tool much, so dig around to find more useful features.
BackLink Watch – This is another link analysis tool that relies on the search engines for data. I find the above tools more useful, as they provide more data.
