Link Diagnosis New Release
The Link Diagnosis team has been working hard to get the new site ready. Over the past several months we have read all of the comments in our last post and did our best to apply your requests to the new site. It has made the experience very challenging and fulfilling to integrate our thoughts and your ideas into a new upgraded site. We decided to keep the service free, and provide as many services as we could without charging the community.
Before you dive in and start running reports here are a couple of tips and updates so you are prepared for the new site.
- New Download: Before you get started make sure that you have downloaded the new tool. Here is the URL to go straight to the download page:
www.linkdiagnosis.com/download.php
- Adobe Flash: The new version of the site is now all in Flash. This update allows for you to see all of the back links for the site at once. There is no more paging on the new site. Make sure that you have the latest version of flash. You can download the latest version of flash here:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Both of these updates will prepare you for the new and more advanced Link Diagnosis experience. The new site has improved on all of the old functionalities and added tons of new features.
The new flash version of Link Diagnosis gives us the ability to sort information faster. Since we can display more and sort information easier you can now sort and organize your report using different criteria.
- Page Rank: You can now sort by PageRank from 1-9.
- Anchor Text: Using the columns on the report you can sort your report by anchor text.
- Outbound Links: By selecting the column you can sort from least to greatest number of outbound links.

The reports page now displays information in a more user friendly layout. We have had numerous comments requesting better sorting and filtering features.
At the top left of the report page you will see the results from the report displaying the total number of backlinks, total number of unique anchor texts, and the number of pages indexed. On the top right users can select groups of links using the PageRank filter or the link type filter. Selecting links is helpful as you can now export specific links to CSV format.
There are 4 buttons below the overview data, which include:
- The Links Tab- This tab enables you to open a URL in a new window, check the page age of a URL, or run a new report.
- The Export Tab – The feature will let you save an entire report or selected URL’s to a CSV file.
- The Charts Tab- This features a brand new graphic summary of a backlink report.
- The Save Tab – The tab allows you to save a report to your account.
Clicking the top of any of the columns will sort the results in ascending or descending order.
The pages indexed and most popular anchors display have also been modified for quick and easy sorting and improved display. See the below screen shots for a better layout of these pages.

The biggest update that Link Diagnosis has released is the ability to run a save a report and create projects. Some reports can take 15 minutes or more to complete, and we noticed that many users from the same IP address run the same report multiple times. To improve efficiency for our users we are now allowing users the ability to save these reports and retrieve them at anytime.
You can create your LinkDiagnosis.com account by following this link:
http://linkdiagnosis.com/login.php
Once you have created your own account you will be able to quickly load saved reports and create projects. Here is a screen shot of the new navigation for Link Diagnosis accounts:

We are constantly working on new features and will be unrolling out new functionality in the coming months.
Please let us know what you think and send over any suggestions. We take your comments very seriously and read everyone’s feedback.

I really like the new site! It’s more easy to understand and to analyse the results.
September 3rd, 2009 at 1:52 am
Dear linkdiagnosis-team. Is the old version still available somewhere? I would even pay for it.
September 3rd, 2009 at 2:21 am
The old version is still available for use. You may access it by clicking on the “View Classic” link which you can find next to the download button near the top right of the page.
The old version is now called the classic, the direct link to it is: http://classic.linkdiagnosis.com
September 3rd, 2009 at 2:44 am
I must say I like the new layout, but I don’t like the results are showed. The classic has nice visual graphs which makes it much easier to see what’s going on.
Also at the moment I can’t get the links to order in strength…

Keep up the great work.
The only thing thats confusing is your payment model: I see tabs for publishers and advertisers so this looks like a kind of paid link market place but it isn’t (yet)? Also no paid subscription for the linkdiagnosis toool itself, so whats the catch?
September 3rd, 2009 at 4:19 am
It looks really good. I just have one question. Is it also free, when you register an account on your website?
September 3rd, 2009 at 6:15 am
This Tool was just great… NOW it is even better!
I can’t believe that it’s free 4 all but i won’t bring up the idea, that you should charge the people to use it
Thanks for all the new features, new Graphic Visualizations and more…
But one Question: What about the new Feature “Link History”:
Why are all of the reported Backlinks marked as “new” even though i do know, that those Links were already reported by the classic version of Linkdiagnosis?
Thank,
Sebastian

Cool stuff. Looking forward to testing it. For selfish reasons I hope Link Diagnosis doesnt get to popular
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:19 am
Nice improvements! Keep up the good work.
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:51 am
Sorry guys – I preferred the old one – simplicity is very important. This why people like google and not yahoo – this why bing come out like that.
September 3rd, 2009 at 10:05 am
We appreciate your feedback. There are some very key differentiators of the new tool which we will expand on in an upcoming blog post. If you like the older version better just use the http://classic.linkdiagnosis.com version. Best!
September 4th, 2009 at 4:24 am
Very nice update. Been using the tool for quite a while now and just about to do your new site a review which I will post shortly. Good luck to all of you at linkdiognosis.com and keep the updates coming.. Sam.

Thank you – for the time being we will use the old interface. Have you ever thought of integrating IP addresses? A crucial element to avoid google penalty due to too many backlinks from the same IP C-D block…
September 4th, 2009 at 8:15 am
Actually, yes, we have thought about it. We could create a paid subscription model for people that want IP addresses (which would probably be a lot). The only issue is that we’d need thousands of IP’s to support our users, and it might be more costly than what we can afford. It depends on how many users would pay for it, and what they’d pay.
September 4th, 2009 at 8:15 am
Thanks Sam!
September 4th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
The best tool we’ve used by far! Would love to see the integration of IP addresses (thanks Pokie Guy for recommending it).

Very nice the new look. Bravo guys!
Still need improvements on the response time but I am sure the speed will go up soon.
September 7th, 2009 at 5:02 am
We use this tool – it gives some info with IP-s: domain-pop.com or linkvendor is even a better choice that works out best with pagerank and IP. We think “linkdiagnosis” is the best ever tool – all it needs to deal with is this IP issue. We appreciate your tool and would be willing to pay for such extra service.
September 8th, 2009 at 5:53 am
I like the new site ^^ especially the little bar in the corner is kinda nice, althugh sometimes it bugs out and keeps hanging while the report is already ok ^^
September 9th, 2009 at 3:26 am
The new site is fantastic! I was a massive user of the old site and I was a bit shocked when I noticed it had changed. Sometimes we don’t like change and was thought…oh no! But after a few days I am now loving it. I love the new login features where you can store reports…fantastic.
Keep up the great work guys (and girls).

also ich sag es ja nicht gern und bin eigentlich eher für innovation und fortschritt, die alte version hat mir besser gefallen.
aber vielleicht gewöhn ich mich dran…
September 11th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Сайт супер, буду рекомендовать всем знакомым! Закинул в закладки. Что-то на RSS-ленту подписаться не могу…
