Hi Saddat!
Thank you for your comment! Below are two more link building strategies you can employ by using the Link Opportunities tab in Open Site Explorer.
- Select the Reclaim Links tab to find broken pages on your site that have inbound links. You can then redirect these links to a working page.
- Select the Unlinked Mentions tab to see sites (and pages) that mention your company but do not link to you. You can then sort these by mention authority and if you see a reputable site that you respect, reach out to request a link.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Kelly

Hi
I have looked at this tool and my competitors sites that are number 1-3 in Google have very spammy links?!
I do not wish to copy their poor links. How do you suggest I look for link opportunities?
Look for keywords like "sell house fast" or "sell property quickly" in Google.co.uk

Does relative CTR affect organic SEO efforts?
Hello fellow MOZ'ers! Like many of you, I've been reviewing the Search Engine Ranking Factors 2015 Expert Survey and Correlation Data. My SEO Specialist position requires me to create positive SEO results for our clients' organic search ranking campaigns. As I understand it, "Relative CTR is a valuable number that can show users how their ads are stacking up compared to their competitors ads appearing on the exact same websites." My question is...Does relative CTR affect organic SEO efforts (positive or negative) in anyway? The campaigns I'm working on do not include AdWords efforts. Is this a factor I should ignore/look over? Or is there something I can do "organically" to influence this ranking factor in a positive way? Thanks!

Open Site Explorer Problems
I've been checking open site explorer for months now. It doesn't show any changes in the number of root domain links to any of my pages, even though webmaster tools shows a substantial increase in root domain links for each of these urls. Open Site Explorer doesn't seem to be updating. According to Moz, my site is regularly indexed by Moz. But the numbers don't change. I've tested this on a few other sites as well with the same results. How do I get OSE to update the numbers for a particular website?
