[Lost Feature Alert] Say Goodbye To 'Backlinks Report' and 'Top Marketing Articles'

You guys often tell us that we put our efforts in too many things, while we should just focus on our core features.

And you know what? We listen to you!

Say Goodbye To ‘Backlinks Report’

I’m sure many of you didn’t even know we had this tool in our toolset.

Well, now your knowledge is pretty much up to date. We don’t have it.

“Backlinks Report” tool was basically a super outdated version of Ahrefs Site Explorer and it was just sitting there waiting for its doomsday.

So… just smile and wave boys, smile and wave…

Say Goodbye To ‘Top Marketing Articles’

A couple months ago we’ve launched a simple tool that would show you the most shared content from a few hundreds of world’s leading marketing blogs.

At that time we thought it was cool, but unfortunately that tool didn’t get any traction.

We had quite a few ideas on both upgrading this tool and promoting it. But after questioning ourselves “why?” we realized we should just kill it.

Goodbye, TMA!

And now let’s look at some stuff that we have added last week.

Say HI to ‘New/Lost Referring Domains Chart’

Just look at this pretty new chart:

From now on, right on the Overview page of Ahrefs Site Explorer you can see some dynamics of how a certain website is gaining links from new domains.

I already featured this new graph in my latest episode of “Oversimplified SEO” (available on Facebook or YouTube).

Say HI to ‘Keyword Ranking Email Updates’

Just a few weeks ago we have released “Positions Tracker” tool that checks your keyword rankings while you sleep.

Well, we finally polished the email ranking report and we invite you to try it:

To enable email reports just go to “Dashboard > Email Notifications” and you’ll see a switch for “Positions Tracker”:

That’s what we managed to release (and kill) last week.

Give a try to these new features and let us know what you think about them!

Not very nice to remove it, some of us did know and even used the backlink tool

  Sorry for removing it. But we encourage you to use Site Explorer more!
  We’re working on some cool new features for Site Explorer.. please follow the blog for more details 😉

Damn, I checked TMA daily. Oh well.

But while you’re busy listening to your customers, you should add a ‘request recrawl’ button. Even if it’s just a crosswalk button that doesn’t do anything, it would sure feel good to click.

  Hey Joe.. you still have http://inbound.org/ and http://growthhackers.com/ and http://www.producthunt.com/ and http://closingcall.co/ and http://www.techmeme.com/
  
  These are super great sites which easily replace TMA
  
  You can also go to https://ahrefs.com/content-explorer search for any keyword and filter results for last week.. 😉

    Heh I already have about 15 blogs in the daily drip, including most of those – I actually finished with TMA to catch any stories that fell through the cracks.
    
    A recrawl button is a pretty great trade off, though. Don’t let me stop you.

      Similar to me. TMA was a good round off to the day

  yes.. we’re going to add this button for “recrawl report” so that people could request it anytime. but I can’t give you any ETA for this, sorry

Disappointed to see “Top Marketing Articles” removed. I checked this daily also.

  sorry to hear that, Matt! Please check a few great sites that I’ve offered above
