Link Harvester Updated to Version 3.0

Aaron Wall of SEObook has done it again!! He has just updated his great Link Harvester tool to version 3.0. Since he has graciously made this tool Open Source, I have mirrored it in my SEO Tool Chest collection of SEO Tools.

This new version has a feature for determining Deep Link Ratios and information. As Aaron points out:

On top of allowing you to search for links at a specific page or links to anywhere in a domain it also has a third function called deep links which allows you to get a sample of deep link data without grabbing links pointing at the home page. The theory is that many good sites get deep links. Looking through the deep links may give you a better view of how they were acquired or if they are all garbage scraper links, etc.

By looking through the deep links you can:

• check the quality of links pointing at inner pages
• know what URLs you really need to redirect if you are changing your content management system
• know what URLs are important to redirect if you buy a site and want to modify the content or gut out pieces that were causing duplicate content or other problems

Read his full review. I haven't had much time with the new version, but it looks really useful!

I haven't found any good new free directories this week, so I have only made a few updates.

Remember if you know of any good free directories, please let me know and I'll give you a plug if I use it in my reviews.
