In the following screenshots I used example.com: https://www.majesticseo.com/reports/site-explorer/summary/example.com

Improved Backlink Data Layout

MajesticSEO now presents the backlink data in a much simpler and easy to read interface, giving you a quick snapshot of any sites backlink profile. This is great information for an SEO professional but would be information overload for most SEO clients. I would be careful on how you may present this data to a client.

Same Great Backlink History Graphs

For those of you familure with the backlink history graphs this isn’t anything new. For those of you who are not these graphs represent the number of discovered links per month. If you click on these graphs you’ll get additional features like the ability to compare the backlink discovery of multiple domains as well as view it comulatively(my favorite view). It would be nice if they’d allow you to change the defult view on the site explorer page.

Quickly See the 5 Top Backlinks

Again this isn’t a new feature just an improved layout, which the site explorer page does well, giving you a summary of all the data available. In this section you are presented with the top 5 backlinks(Based on MajestiSEOs AC Rank) for the entered domain. This can allow you to also check out some of your(or a client’s) backlinks as well as spy on a competitors top backlinks. This feature can be extremely useful for a link builder.

Referring Domains Visual

This little diagram shows some of the reffering domains that link to the entered site the most. For one reason or another these domains link to the entered site many times. Not the prettiest looking diagram but it does the job.

Most Popular Pages

The final feature you’ll find on MajesticSEO’s site explorer page are the top pages(Based on MajesticSEO’s ACRank). Now you’ll be able to see what your most popular pages are based on their backlinkd ata.

Overall the tool is great! Can’t really complain too much considering all the data that they provide for FREE! If I had any criticisms, is some of the data could be a little nicer looking and a PDF version of this report would be great. Keep up the good work MajesticSEO.

Link building factors that came to mind;

• Does the page you’re getting a link from have PageRank?
• How many other links are on the page?
• Does the site appear to be trustworthy?
• Is the page relevant?
• How long will it take me to require the link?
• Can I use anchor text?

Analyzing Hundreds of Factors

These where just some of the factors that came to my mind right away. As with any part of SEO there is no single factor. The truth is there are hundreds of SEO factors and a lot of it comes down to a sixth sense that is acquired after doing SEO for a while. After creating your own sites and analyzing others you can quickly see strong and weak points on your sites and the sites which link to you.

So What is the Most Important Factor?

If I was forced to pick the single most important factor when building links I would have to say relevancy. The reason for this choice is because this is exactly what search engines are trying to provide to their users whether it’s Google, Bing or Twitter search they all want to provide the best answer to the users query so that the user continues to use their service. If you ensure that your website is relevant and the links to your website are also relevant then you’re on your way to building a strong online presence.
