Competitive Link Analysis Tool -- Highly Recommended

One of the keys to a successful inbound linking strategy is to find sites in "good neighborhoods" that are willing to link to you. Here's a tool that can help you find such sites.

This tool lets you enter your own domain and the domains of 9 of your competitors. It then returns a list of all of the websites that link to two or more of your competitors. You can easily spot which of these don't link to you, and may want to ask those sites to link to you.

The tool doesn't show you the exact pages where the links are, but you can find this out yourself by checking Yahoo for:

linkdomain:[competitor-domain] site:[result-site-domain]

We'd recommend running this tool using the domains of the top 9 Google results for your most important keywords. These will obviously be highly ranked sites themselves, and are definitely in the right "neighborhood", as far as being themed appropriately relative to your site. (This assumes that your own site is properly themed for the keywords you are targeting.)

Good stuff...
