Christmas Q&A Webinar – Your Only Chance is Live
On Tuesday, Majestic SEO will have a free Christmas webinar which will be on a Q&A basis.
We have some questions lined up to put to the system’s creator – Alex Chudnovsky and you will be able to add your own questions or find out more about Majestic SEO and how you can use our system now and in the future to really get to know.
Here are some questions I have lined up:
1. Majestic SEO always seems to report many more back links than other backlink tracking systems. Why? are the numbers real and why does Majestic SEO seem to have so much more?
2. How internatonal is the Majestic SEO data?
3. What have you done in 2010 to “clean” and “freshen” the data? Are you there now?
I hope some of you will be able to join us, because we will NOT be recording this webinar for a later podcast. We might give away a bit of our gameplan – so you will need to be registered on the webinar to get the inside track.
Registration is free – just sign up here.
MajesticSEO on the International (GoKarting) Circuit
We booked out the International circuit. For some strange reason, the young whipper-snappers in the development team thought they would do well against the overweight, middle aged calmness of Marketing and Systems Admin. (That’s Chris and I).
Let’s just say that Chris sent me the photos so I could put up the blog post. So much for all that running, martial arts and general “trying to keep fit” guys. Turns out all you need is experience 
The winners
Now – if any other companies in the Internet Marketing space are interested in a cross company meet up, Maybe Chris and I can find some real competition?

New Developer Platform Launched
Sneaking it on on a Friday is unusual for us – but we’ve been itching to get this live.
This afternoon we are announcing a new MajesticSEO API developer platform which will allow programmers to look at all the API commands and play with the technology. If you want to dive right in and look at what we have, start at http://developer-support.majesticseo.com/wiki/index.php/Introduction to see the main commands.
Behind the scenes, we have also created a sandbox for Platinum users and above, which will allow them to test their applications on a very small sample of data, without using their resources. Instructions for executing API commands in sandbox mode are here.
The documentation for the API is now all there as a WIKI, which will be much easier for us to keep up the documentation and the direction of the API commands moving forward.
If you are a programmer with API access… enjoy. If you are a developer and need to build the application to generate the business case for your company to use our API, then you can make a case for us via support to give you access to the sandbox.
Introducing Clique Hunter
Inspired by Aaron Wall’s Hubfinder tool, we felt that with Yahoo’s API looking a little shaky and with our deeper data set, we could create something that would be especially helpful to SEOs. We proudly introduce Clique Hunter.
Clique Hunter seeks out domains that link to multiple sites within a vertical. You can choose up to ten sites, which compete with each other over a given keyword or market, and start hunting! What you get back shows not only multiple links from a sites, but also the relative strength of the relationship, which is shown by the thickness of the connecting arrow. The darker the colour of the inbound domain, the more powerful that domain’s homepage is in terms of ACRank.
In addition to choosing how many sites you want to compare, you can also specify the default minimum number of matches the tool needs to “count”. Clique Hunter then only returns sites that link to that number of the target domains. So if you compare 5 domains, with three matches, then Clique Hunter searches for domains that link to at least three of your five domains.
How deep Clique Hunter searches to find these choice sites depends on your subscription level. On a free package, you only get to see the top three matches and also you get an idea of how many more you could get on a subscription package. Thereafter, we compare the top 1000 referring domains of each site for Bronze, 3000 for Silver, 10000 for Gold and 25000 for Platinum, assuming the sites have that many referring domains in our index. Also, with any subscription, you get to see exactly how many links exist between the domains and you can delve into these further should you wish, by generating reports on domains that interest you.
There is a Visual Representation, a Tabular representation and CSV output options
Clique Hunter attempts to visualize the links, but as you start searching for more and more and more matches, you may find the tabular layout better or simply click the “CSV” button below the table to bring the data into a spreadsheet for your own use.
Visualization is capped to the top 10 domains per page.
Some FAQs:
Q: Can I search at the subdomain level?
A: Not at this time – only the root domain to keep the tool fast and effective.
Q: Why I can only see “ticks” not backink numbers?
A: You need to have a paid subscription to see actual numbers.
Q: Do I have a usage limit?
A: We do not meter this in your subscription, but we will block users that automate queries or use the system too much in one day.
Q: What is this “Depth” number on the chart?
A: This shows the maximum referring domains Clique Hunter will have searched (starting with the strongest) in its hunt. The higher your subscription, the deeper the search.
Q: I keep on seeing sites like Blogspot.com. Why?
A: Some sites have huge numbers of subdomains, run by different people. These sites can cover all sorts of topics and demographics, so will often show up at the root domain level.
