Backlink monitor software

Each Link builder has thought about finding a tool to monitor backlinks. And it can be challenging to find an effective program or online backlink monitoring tool. We had not been able to find a solution for our tasks, so we created a LinkBox backlink monitor. With our tool, the process of external link monitoring will become much easier.

How can you monitor backlinks in the LinkBox?

We have implemented two modules for backlink monitoring, namely: backlink campaigns module and crawler module. The backlink checker page describes in detail how to track links using a campaign module. So let us move to the second method.

To go to the crawler monitor module, click on the corresponding icon in the top right corner:

Data sources for monitoring:
Our system provides only 3 data sources for monitoring:

1) Google Search Console. Monitoring backlinks that got into the console is extremely important since it displays links that are accounted for your website ranking. You should occasionally import data into this folder. To do this, just get the GSC upload:

2) Ahrefs. This section was created to import data from a popular backlink analysis tool. It is helpful to monitor backlinks using this source so that you could know what your competitors know about your reciprocal links, as most specialists use it for backlink monitoring. To import data from Ahrefs, go to the backlinks tab, choose all of them, and click export in the utf-16 format:

What other modules use data from the backlinks monitoring tool?

Data obtained after importing links from crawlers are also used in the main module of link campaigns and the anchor list software. Based on this data, filtering by crossing with crawlers is available in the presented modules.

Who will find LinkBox backlink monitor software particularly useful?

We believe that the monitor tool will be useful for all link builders, nevertheless, we would like to distinguish some categories of users that will not do without it.

  1. Specialists for promotion in highly competitive niches. It is no secret that in the case of competitive niches, you need to keep a close eye on all new backlinks that appear on your website. That is because sooner or later unscrupulous competitors will try to prevent you from taking their place at the top. So you have to monitor all backlinks and to be ready to protect yourself from it.
  2. PBN specialists. It will be very useful to monitor which part of your net is known to Ahrefs and, therefore, your competitors.
  3. Outreach specialists. Each external link is quite expensive, so you cannot help but see if such links get to the console and Linkbox backlinks monitor tool will help you with it.

Some ideas for using crawler backlinks monitor data:

  • Receiving and analyzing natural links that you did not know about. For this purpose, you can just check "No match in campaign" campaign. And you will get a rather large list of backlinks for analysis. In fact, some of them might not be even indexed by the search engine. You can greatly improve the backlink profile of the website in the eyes of Google by using backlink indexer after monitoring.
  • Low-quality backlinks monitoring. You will be informed about any spam links and will be able to add them to the disavow file.
  • Analysis of links that are most likely to affect positions on anchors of these backlinks. It is used in combination with an anchor list with activated filtering by crossing with the Search Console.

No professional would trust chance when it comes to backlink promotion success. LinkBox monitor will help you gain full control over your backlinks and get an advantage over your competitors.
