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.

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.
