Search Engine Optimization and Internet Marketing Service

Over the last year a number of high quality link building has become available on the SEO scene. Here’s a list of the best ones:

Majestic SEO

Majestic SEO started as a project to build open source, community run search engine. Participants in the project can download a crawler, and set it to spider the web. The information is then sent to Majestic 12 servers.

The search engine itself is far from completion and in order to raise money, Majestic 12 group decided to sell link intelligence to SEO’s. By entering a domain name and paying a little you can get a detailed link profile for any website.

Link Scape

Link Scape if the brainchild of Rand Fishkin from SEO Moz. The tool crawls the web, takes in data from Yahoo and other third party providers in order to show backlinks profile for any website.

Link Harvester

Link Harvester is a Tool from Aaron Wall that collects link data from Yahoo and MSN. It can get pretty laggy since search engines block queries that look like automated requests.

Recently Ask.com featured an entire page ad for a movie “Night at the Museum”, which got some negative feedback from professional search community.Spokesman for Ask.com contacted Search Engine Watch and explained:

The Night at the Museum skin is not an ad per se, but rather a promotional exchange. Ask.com is being featured in the film, and, in exchange, Night at the Museum is being featured on Ask.com.

Seems like a fair exchange, but do those type of ads repel people? We don’t know until some factual data comes out. In a sense Ask is doing what it can to acquire market share in a somewhat uneven battle against the heavy weights.

So far no one was able to get close to Google. Microsoft threw millions at MSN (now live) and has not even made a dent. Yahoo lost immense market share and now fights for financial survival. New search engines make big claims, but are living in the no mans lands after big launches. It seems Google is unbeatable…

It is, if you fight it with what it does best - search the web.

A new player on the scene is taking another approach at things. Instead of searching the web, Wolfram Alpha searches a prearranged database of facts, numbers and statistics. The data comes from various multitude of sources, and is reviewed by the humans before being passed on to the computer. After information is in the servers, Wolfram Alpha applies complex mathematical equations to give answers to questions like “distance from moon to Moscow” or “chemical properties of calcium chloride”.

See the search engine for yourself.
