Backlink audit tool

Lets group all backlink information in several groups in accordance with Linkbox tool modules:

Primary backlink table data for backlink profile audit:

Information in this table is organized based on donor domains and the pages that link to your site.

Audit data for donor domains includes:

1. Percentage of indexed donor pages for each domain.

Data for donor pages audit:

1. Interception with crawlers (only if you've uploaded crawler data).
2. HTTP code of the donor page.
3. Indexing status (only applicable if you've performed a "Check indexing link" check): Green - indexed, Red - not indexed, Grey - never checked.
4. Number of links on this page.
5. Amount of tier 2 links.
6. Dates of past check outs. Index - date of past "Check indexing link" checkout, check - date of past "Check link" checkout, index - date of last "Google add url" checkout.
7. Indexing options.

Statuses of all indexing options:

1. Allow - can be indexed by any search engine.

4. Meta no-follow - the page can be indexed, but all backlinks on these pages do not pass link weight. Sometimes, link juice still passes despite no-follow, especially when a no-follow backlink is input into high-authority website excellent content.
5. Meta no-index - indexing disallowed by the meta robots noindex tag. Therefore, it can't be indexed, but external links with this tag can be added into Google Search Console and pass some link juice.
6. Meta none - could be similar to the meta noindex and nofollow tag.
7. X robot tag - indexing disallowed by the HTTP header X-robot tag. Similar to meta robots.

However, by using the Linkbox audit service, you can promptly identify these issues and take action to safeguard your valuable reciprocal link budget. Simply perform regular 'Check link' actions on all your reciprocal links through the tool to enhance your results.

Our backlink audit service lacks a 'No matches in campaigns' functionality.

Typically, you're aware only of the inbound links you've purchased or created yourself. However, in certain niches, numerous organic links are generated daily. The challenge lies in Google being unaware of many of these reciprocal links, resulting in your site not benefiting from their link weight. To address this, consider obtaining all external links from crawlers like Ahrefs, Majestic, Semrush, and submitting them to Google using the Linkbox backlink indexer.

In our Linkbox Pro audit tool, we've developed functionality that streamlines the entire process of monitoring crawlers. Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

• Obtain export files containing backlinks from popular crawlers.
• Import these files into the Linkbox crawlers module.
• All new links that aren't recognized will automatically be placed in the 'No matches in campaign' section.
• Verify these links.
• Move any toxic inbound links to the history section.
• Check the index status of the remaining backlinks.
• Utilize the Linkbox addurl feature for external links not indexed.

An effective strategy is to export all quality backlinks from this campaign, categorize them by type, and place them into separate campaigns. When you add links to any campaign, they are automatically removed from the 'No matches in the campaign' section.
