Hi SEOmoz folks, Sometimes we begin a new SEO consulting service and do not to know where to start our Link Building. We have a lot of options but the first thing I really like to do is to analyze what my competitors are doing. As we know, one of the best ways to analyze backlinks is by using Open Site Explorer (OSE)...

It was a very personal interview about the background of the company, but turned out to be a great experience.
