Recently I got the idea to look for a SEO tool that helps you with analyzing and keeping track of link exchanges, but after searching 5min with Google I found nothing that was what I needed. So I thought “Do It Yourself” and this is the result:

Download SEOLExA SEO Link Exchange Analyzer 1.0

I thought it would be cool to have test tool that automatically checks if all the sites that you have done link exchanges with in the past actually still have the link to your site… Because over the time it can just happen that the exchanged link disappeared because of a bug on that site or there was a redesign of the page and the link exchange got forgotten or for whatever other reasons suddenly the link (that was supposed to give some Link Juice to your site) is gone.

Moreover I thought it would be even cooler if the tool could detect some nasty tricks that actually make the link worthless from a SEO point of view like: rel=”nofollow”, noindex meta tags, robots.txt blocks, javascript links, iframes etc… and then assigns a proper Link Status to each link.

Finally you will get an HTML or CSV report that will look more or less like this: SEOLExA HTML report example

That is what SEOLExA is supposed to do the only thing that you need to have is a list of your link exchanges that looks like this:

the site URL where link should be, the link URL to your page
http://site1.example.com, http://www.webproductblog.com
http://the-guy-I-exchanged-links-with-a-year-ago.com, http://mysite.com/
http://…., etc…

this file you just need to name seolexainput.txt and put it in the same folder like SEOLExA.jar and your automated link exchange check is set up

NOTE: this tool is free and there are no warranties whatsoever. Anyway, I tested it with bunch of sites and I seems to work fine. If you find some pages where SEOLExA categorized a link badly, please let me know!
