Knowing EXACTLY how many outbound links your site has isn’t just about SEO, and funneling page rank anymore.

When hackers break into your site they are far more likely to hide links on home page to game the search engines than do much of anything else like messing with your homepage, planting a Trojan or crashing your server/site.

If you’re not constantly checking the HTML code of your home page you will have no idea that you’re a victim of link spam.

To make matters worse if you don’t catch it soon enough, there is a VERY GOOD possibility that Google will ban you from their search results for linking into hundreds of “Bad Neighborhoods”.

Sure you can fix it (if you find it that is) and reapply for readmission into Google, but what a huge pain and waste of time.

The good news is hackers are pretty greedy and if they’ve taken the time to break into your site, they usually don’t just post 1 or 2 links – they post hundreds!

But now (in addition to all the other great stuff it does) Master Site Manager SEO monitoring software tracks the number of outbound links coming from each of your sites – and in effect, giving you an ‘early warning” that you’ve been hacked!

For example, if you see the number of outbound links on your site jump to 200 or 300, check your site ASAP -  it’s likely that a hacker has managed to get in and plant links to his porno / casino / sex drugs web sites.

Here’s an example how bad the problem is with blogs like wordpress:

The second reason we added “Outbound link tracking” to Master Site Manager is as an assistance tool for building your own link network.

If you have a site with a high number of outbound links on it you need to remember that each of these links will have less power than if it had only 3 or 4 outbound links.

You may want to work at lowering the number of outbound links on the site (or at least your home pages) so that its links to your “money” site have more power in them.

Now there is nothing else you need do in order to add “Outbound Link Tracking your account. Master Site Manager will automatically track this for you just like it does for all your other SEO Tracking Stats.

In essence, it will show you how effective your current SEO strategy really is, where your doing well and where you need to improve.

With this page you will be able to see “at a glance” the most important overview data for each one of the websites you are monitoring immediately.

We track PR, Back links from Google and Yahoo, how many of your sites pages are actually indexed in Google, Yahoo, Bing and Alexa too.

And though it carries less weight than it used to, we even track the Alexa ranking as well automatically.

As with other tabs in the system that offer monitoring functions, you are able to sort each column a number of different ways to suit your liking and to reduce the time that you need to spend searching for information.

Now, in the SEO STATS overview grid, Green numbers mean an increase in something, Red numbers mean a decrease, and black indicates no change.

By using this color code system and presenting all of the major monitoring indicators on the same screen, you’re able to immediately get a sense of what’s working and what’s not.

You’ll quickly be able to tell where your SEO efforts are paying off and where you need to get to work

But let’s say you want to drill down a little bit further.

For example, let’s say that you see an GREEN number in Yahoo back links column. This indicates that the number of back links that Yahoo is counting toward your site has increased. (Bo0 Yah!)

Simply click on any number you see in the grid and the system will launch a chart that displays that particular stat over time.

Now the real beauty of this is that now able to see in real time the effectiveness of any linking campaign over time. And the longer your site is in the system, the greater trend history you’ll develop.

Now to check other stats, simply click the “JUMP BACK to STATS” link at the top of the page, and the system will drop you back into the overview grid so you can check other ranking indicators or review other indicator trends.

Lastly, on the far right hand side you’ll see the KEYWORDS column.

Here you’ll see the number of keywords you’re tracking for that particular domain.

To view those keywords and their statistics simply hover your mouse over the word “VIEW” and click the link.

A new page will pop up that lists every keyword you’re currently tracking and your position for that Keyword in Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

Once again you be able to click on any number in the keyword listings and have the system draws a trending chart that shows your position for a particular search engine for that keyword over time.

The bottom line is that you no longer have to spend an average of 15 to 20 minutes per URL several times a week trying to compile all of the SEO stats needed to be able to see the big picture of how well your websites are doing because we’ll do it for you automatically and have it ready every time you login.

If you’ve got multiple websites or you’re managing sites for clients, you just saved you a whole lot of time.

1. All the domain names of each site or web property
2. The URL’s of each site or web property
3. The IP address of each site or web property
4. Where each site or web property is hosted
5. Whether or not the domain is parked
6. Who the domain registrar is for each domain

You’ll also notice and “Actions” and “Active” column to the far right, but we’ll get to those in just a minute. There are some important features on this particular tab that like to make you aware of. First of all you’ll notice that you have the ability to sort each column. Using this feature you can quickly see how many websites you have hosted a particular web host, registered your particular domain registrar or how many websites reside on the same IP address for example. Now there’s some confusion about whether or not it safe to host multiple websites on the same IP address as you might find in a shared hosting using add-on domains. So let’s set the record straight once and for all – The fact is it’s perfectly acceptable to host multiple websites all using the same IP address. Just do not link all those sites together if they live on the same IP address and you’ll be fine. Now if you click your mouse on any listed web host or registrar name within the manage websites tab, the system will launch a new window for you automatically that links to the login page for that web host or domain registrar. This makes it super easy for you to update hosting or registration information without actually having to leave your accounts online control panel. Now let’s get back to the ACTIONS and ACTIVE tabs. Under the ACTIONS tabs you will see four (4) icons. The first allows you to see WHOIS record for that particular domain. The second allows you to add NOTES about that website. This is extremely helpful if you are making changes to your site to test on page as SEO factors or if perhaps you’ve done the media by of some sort. Simply launch the notes window and type in a few sentences about what you’ve done or plan to do. The system will automatically add a date stamp and carry that forward each time you make a new note about that website. Using the NOTES feature is a great way to develop a diary on how effective your current SEO strategy is for any particular linking campaign or strategy that you might be using. The next icon allows you to CHANGE and/or update SETTINGS for a particular website. (Launch site settings) and this comes in very handy should you ever change web hosts or domain registrars. The final icon, when clicked will DELETE a particular record (web property) from your SEO tracking account. Please remember, if you are doing SEO monitoring for a particular domain and then delete that site from your account, there’s no way to get it back and you’ll lose all of stored or tracking information even if you add the domain manually back again to your MasterSiteManager.com account. Finally, there is the ACTIVE column. Here you’ll see either a green or red indicator. As part of our SEO  tracking and monitoring services, the system automatically pings the domains listed in your account at least once a day to ensure that all your websites are live. If any of your sites fail to respond, you’ll see a red icon and you’ll also receive an e-mail notification alerting you that your website has gone down. Some services charge upwards of $49 a year or more for simple domain monitoring like this one is included as part of your membership at no additional charge. Watch video here
