Really cool tool. I wouldn’t pay more than U$50.
Jim, would you share with us any other cool tool that you use for link analysis?
Do you like SEO Spyglass?
Thanks

Hi Jim, I came to this article from Rand Fishkin’s guide to Build Links. It kind of gave me an idea of how to value links, but can you write an article listing the most common aspects to have in account when valuating links? Thanks.

How about doing some research? Find a set of random websites and make some offers. I would be very interested in the result.

[...] A common thread I see in forums these days is how do I decide who should link to me and what is the value of any particular link? I don’t want to take credit for the work of others so I’m going to recommend a few must read links in this post. First you should read Jim Boykin’s article called, “Understanding Co-citation” and then his article called, “Putting a Price on a link.” [...]

[...] By early 2005 it was obvious that PPC ads were the primary reason for the creation of the majority of spam. The search engines had become trapped on a treadmill of their own creation. Trust has become increasingly important. People now speak in terms of owning trusted domains, acquiring trusted links, passing trust, and even valuing trust. Some trusted sites are more valuable than others to some people. [...]

Hey Jim, you stated that you don’t go for Home Pages. What if you use that linking tool on the link you provided and a home page is the strongest link (page with the most links), then would you use a Home Page?

[...] First things first, these things I’ve mentioned are on the short list of things any SEO / link builder should be taking into consideration when evaluating a link’s worth. Do them. Older domains with good search presence for their own keywords, good relevancy to your page, unique IBL’s are all good things. Is the link in the main body (not on the sidebars)? Above the fold? Both good. Jim Boykin talked briefly about this this week, and mentioned that his crew usually only goes for links on powerful subpages as opposed to the home page. Add that to your list of + qualities. [...]

[...] The reason this practice still goes on is simple… it’s fairly simple, and it still works at driving traffic in the short term, but at what cost? The other day I read post by Jim Boykin which brought to mind another post from back in December by Rand Fishkin. Both were discussing the purchasing link process, Jim’s was about the value of links, and Rand’s about purchasing, and his disagreement with Google’s stance on the practice. Both posts are worth the read. [...]
