Looks really promising. Thanks to Rob Ousbey and Tom Critchlow for building this!
Super cool idea. I just had it installed on one of my sites for testing. I guess I won't know if it works until I get a link eh?
Brandon - it feeds off of new referrers that are passed in the header, so you'll get a bunch of alerts at first for links that have existed for a long time. It only sends an alert the first time a link is clicked.
Thanks for the explanation Kane, I'm going to be presenting this cool tool to my SEO team today. So a new link could be sitting there for months, but until somebody clicks it there wont be a message right?
That's correct - it's biggest strength is alerting you to new links that you didn't know where live. HARO links are a good example - sometimes a client or we will get interviewed and they don't tell us the post is live. Then we'll know to share it socially and monitor comments on that page.
Looks promising by what you've written here, but why would I use it? I can get that amount of data from GWC, Ahrefs, MajesticSEO and so on. Not to mention that on the first look this site looks a bit non professional since it uses the free template.
This is immediate when a new link is clicked. The tools you mentioned take days, weeks, and months to report links to you.
Kane, thanks for explaining. I will check it out.
As it uses referrer you also find out what people were looking at before they visited your website. So not necesarily a link involved. This can also be useful info.
