Link Analysis Tool : The ultimate open source SEO tool

Sweet! I can really use that. Not much more I can say.

The only thing it is missing in a log analyzer so it can daily parse the logs for all referring URLs and then check those pages for links back to the page showing the entry.

In this way it starts to auto discover the links since Yahoo only shows a small subset of links once you get to a certain number.

Now that’s hot! I’m gonna download this and give it a whirl.

The feature I’m excited about is google sitemaps import. Daddy like!

Why thats mighty noble of you patrick.
Will take a spin and see if any coding can be applied to improve.

Patrick - this is a seriously useful tool! Thanks for sharing.

Best wishes,

Howie

I really appreciate the great tool, I’ll try to contribute to it as much as possible.

Hi,

Thanks for this.
But I’m getting this error message.

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /linkanalysis/index.php on line 45

What could I have done wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Seems like a really useful tool, but I get zero (0) links for any url on any website I test with. Even though there are some results when I try Yahoo’s site. (?)

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the great tool Patrick. Can’t wait to get it installed and analysing!

Seems like a great tool, thanks a lot. Am playing with it now.

I don’t see yet the PR in my overview, am I missing something?

I also get this error message appearing in the error log after trying to add a site through addsite.php

You can’t downplay the completely invaluable nature of this tool for evaluating your OWN website, to figure out how relevant your linking neighborhood is, etc.

I’m pretty stoked to get a real clear picture of where my site is at. (And maybe then I can get some insight on the kind of Twitter followers I’ve been attracting, too!)

It’s up and running great. I have been looking for a way to see which pages of my sites are getting links. This really helps a lot.

Thanks for sharing this. Excellent link analysis tool!

How will your software compare to SEO SpyGlass?

Looking good so far. I to am unable to see the PR column. It’s missing from the list of domains on the home page and also the link analysis of the website.

FYI On the first pass it didn’t capture the number of links correctly - in fact it returned everything as 0 - the same as Carl-Johan above. I refreshed one entry manually and it then displayed link numbers so I refreshed the entire domain and the correct link numbers were displayed.

Hi Patrick, thanks for this great tool. I came to your site from the SEO Book forums, great information there.

Thanks very much for the tool! But the same information is already given in Google Webmaster Central or am I missing something?

What I would love to find is a tool that also shows the anchortexts of the inbounds. Not a simple list of all anchortexts, but a statistical overview of all anchors:
70% anchortext1
8% anchortext2
etc.

Is there something like that out there?

Thanks again,
Alain

I’m getting this message
Spider results
http://www.mydomain.com being spidered………
Cannot connect to Yahoo, you might have used more than 5000 queries today?

anything i should check…its a new api key

I’m having problems too. It says 0 links for all the sites I’ve added and also the PR column is missing. When I click the refresh link on the individual links within a site I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_get_contents() in /home/virtual/site25/fst/var/www/html/linkanalysis/update.php on line 21

Any clues??

I’ve checked the code and the PR column is not included in the table so it’s not even trying to pull the image. It’s on a shared host running a version of PHP just prior to 5 if that helps.

Patrick, sorry. I have a problem with the tool. I must be doing something wrong. When I go to: http://www.mysite.com/linkanalysis/
I get an error message:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user ‘mydatabasename’@'localhost’ (using password: YES) in /home/user/public_html/linkanalysis/config.inc.php on line 5
Unable to connect to database

Can you please give me any lights on this, I will appreciate it.

Thanks, Patrick, for the head’s up. This will be a useful addition to the ‘bat belt’ of tools we use.

Take care,
Bill.

Any Ideas

Looks like an awesome tool, thanks. Having some issues implementing though - getting a 503 error when trying to add a domain. Could this be a permission problem?

Awesome Patrick. Can’t wait to put it to use and see all the future enhancements.

hey Patrick, still getting the error, I have not idea if the email i sent you via your contact form when thru or not the page timed out. Thanks

Hi Patrick,

It really is a valuable tool, and I look forward to updates to it.

My domains loaded after I got a new API key from Yahoo - don’t know what was wrong the the first one I got. When I reloaded my domains I got the link count from Yahoo.

However, the PageRank is missing from my version as well, same as other people have mentioned above.

I look forward to any upgrades to your tool.

Yep, really good tool, I’m gonna install and will head back with comments after a decent trial.

Thanks,

Colin

Hi Patrick I have not been able to make it work. I have replaced username, password and database-name in the config.php file as you mentioned, but is not working still. Can you show me a sample of how it has to be done properly? Thanks in advance.

This is whow I replaced it on the file:

$mainconnection =MYSQL_CONNECT(”localhost”,”myuser”,”my password”) OR DIE(”Unable to connect to database”);

@mysql_select_db(”mydatabasename”) or die(”Unable to select the database”);

“and also:”

$yahoo_api_key=”myyahooapikey”;

I don’t know what’s wrong? I keep getting the same error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user ‘mydatabasename’@’localhost’ (using password: YES) in /home/user/public_html/linkanalysis/config.inc.php on line 5
Unable to connect to database

Hey Patrick,

Thanks for the tool. Unfortunately, there seems to be no readme file in your zip file and I am getting the following error when I try to add a site:

“Column count doesn’t match value count at row 1″

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I have the same problem as above. With the last release you must forget to include readme file.

Thanks,

Ditto the two above. I’m actually working on fixing this if I can. Hopefully you beat me to it…

Cheers

That sounds an awesome tool. Many thanks for sharing
