We believe that the backlinks monitoring will benefit all link builders. However, we'd like to highlight specific user categories that will find it indispensable.

  1. Specialists in highly competitive niches: In competitive niches, vigilance over new backlinks to your website is crucial. Competitors may attempt to impede your ascent to the top, necessitating constant monitoring and readiness to defend your position.

Ideas for utilizing crawler backlink monitor data:

  • Identifying and analyzing previously unknown natural links can be achieved by checking the 'No match in campaign' campaign, offering a substantial list of backlinks for analysis. Some of these links might not even be indexed by search engines. Utilizing a backlink indexer post-monitoring can significantly enhance the website's backlink profile in the eyes of Google.
  • Monitoring low-quality backlinks informs you about spam links and allows you to add them to the disavow file.
  • Analyzing links likely to influence anchor positions is effective when combined with an anchor list featuring Search Console cross-filtering.

No professional would leave backlink promotion success to chance. Backlink monitor empowers you to take full control of your backlinks, giving you an edge over your competitors.
