This week brought us two powerful new resources for link building:
* Dutch SEO and link building expert, Wiep, released a survey of over 15 industry-recognized link building experts as Link Value Factors. This reports takes a cue from SEOmoz’s Search Ranking Factors, which I call the “Rosetta Stone of SEO” because it offers many different perspectives and trusted opinions on the secret Google ranking algorithm. Wiep’s report offers a panoramic perspective on assessing link potency and value.
* Another top-notch Dutch SEO and Web developer, Joost de Valk, released the link analysis tool for Firefox. This is a superb tool for looking at backlink profiles of your own sites and your competitors and finding out which links have value.
I’d consider both of these resources a “must” for anyone serious about SEO and link building. Enjoy!
