Since I wrote this, I became marketing director of MajesticSEO – so if I updated this I would need to work that through ethically.

I currently use Majestic SEO (free version) and SEOMoz Linkscape (paid version) . Just watched http://blog.majesticseo.com/general/what-majesticseo-gives-you-for-free/ which is very informative and well worth the 30 minutes to watch.

Now that Yahoo! site explorer is not officially online, this discussion will no doubt heat up on how to most cost effectively get competitor link data. Great post with excellent comments. Any chance you will update it as no doubt a lot has changed at Majestic SEO and SEOMoz since 2009?

I love the SEOmoz toolset, including Opensite Explorer, but I do find the index takes a fair while to be considered up to date

I have been using Majestic for a short time and have appreciated it’s capabilities. Especially with YSE going down soon. I don’t see the advantage in a service that returns LESS data. ?

Thanks for this decent comparison, I agree with your conslusion and most comments here: Once you get used to it, Majestic is one step ahead.

I agree, I tend to trust majestic’s data over linkscape. I’ve experienced user problems with linkscape, not picking up backlinks that yahoo site explorer can easily do so…

Right now I trust majestic’s data more than linkscape (or open site explorer) because it seems to match up closer with the real numbers.

Also linkscape seems to favor big websites, sometimes linkscape can’t find any backlinks or very few backlinks for a domain where majestic seems to have an easier time.

Right now it’s more about the tool that’s going to provide me the most information.

But linkscape is probably going to be the future of backlink analysis.
