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.

SEOBenz – were you at the same conference that we were all at? I thought Majestic got a pretty decent showing, and Linkscape/ SEOMoz even had a party! I know because I had fun beating Matt Cutts in a game of cards. I know that Majestic was mentioned positively in at least seven sessions. I was on two of them.

I just tried to take SEOENG for a quick test drive. But unfortunatey got: http://www.seoeng.com/engine-maintenance.htm – Looks to be focussed on tools and analysis rather than data though – so quite different. Did you know where SEOENG gets its link data? Yahoo/BOSS?

[Added]It is working again now and looks pretty neat. It’s much more an SEO Toolset than a link database – but there seems to be a lot of stuff there.

Just got back from PubCon in Vegas. Didn’t see seomoz or majestic, but SEOENG was there. Haven’t spent much time using it, but everyone was talking about it in the sessions. Of course most of the people were geeks, not the c-level people, but among the techies SEOENG was a hit!

Great write up! I have played around with both and so far Majestic appears to be a better fit for me. But I would love to see the Majestic more user friendly. I am sure you and someone like Rae could give them a ton of recommendations to make the site more usable.

Linkscape is considerably more intuitive at the present time, but there is much more depth of data at Majestic and for professionals, the learning curve will be worth the effort. By contrast, though, SEOMoz [Linkscape] has a huge variety of other tools available within its membership fee which you will still need for Internet Marketing even if you do go for Majestic.
