how i track link binding process?
I have just embarked on a social media project, which involves finding blog posts and online articles that are relevant to our site and posting commentary, always including a link to our site in the signature.
What is the best metric for tracking progress?
I was planning to use the “external links” data from Google Webmaster Tools, but for some unknown reason, this number is no longer being updated—and hasn’t been since October. In other words, despite creating new external links, the number of external links listed in google webmaster tools has not changed for months. I looked into some google forums and found that this is a fairly common problem… but did not find any solution. Does anyone know why google webmaster tools is no longer updating the external links for my site?
Looking for alternatives to google webmaster tools, I ran the SEOmoz linkscape report, but I’m afraid this is outdated as well-- the report dashboard states, “most recently updated 1 month ago.” Aside from that, I’m not even sure if linkscape is the best way to track progress, since it only lists the “most important” links.
If anyone has recommendations for tracking this link building progress, I’d love to hear them!
