Majestic

MJ12bot

Majestic, a British company, keeps a map of the links between websites for marketers.

Worth knowing: its crawler grew out of a distributed project, Majestic-12, in which volunteers ran the crawler on their own computers, so its visits can come from all over the world.

Why? They map which sites link to which and how pages rank, and sell that map to marketers and agencies trying to climb the search results.
