Backlink Monitoring

Posted on Tracking Clicks

Every Linkbuilder has at least once thought about finding a backlink monitoring tool. And it is not easy to find an adequate program or online tool to track links.

How does Linkbox monitor links?

There are 2 main modules implemented in Linkbox to track backlinks: the campaign module and the crawler monitoring module. How to track links with the first one is described in detail on the page Check Links. Here we will look at the second.

1) Google Search Console. Monitoring backlinks in the console is very important because it displays only those that are accurately counted for the ranking of your site. You need to import data into this folder on a regular basis. To do this, just get an unload from the GSC:
2) Ahrefs. This section is designed to import data from a popular service. It is useful to monitor backlinks from this source in order to understand what your links are known to your competitors, as most experts use it for analysis. To import your data from Ahrefs just go to the “Backlinks” tab, select all and click on export in utf-16 format:
3) Temporary. This section serves as a kind of custom folder for any other services besides Ahrefs and Google console. For example here you may upload data from monitoring services like Semrush, Majestic, Serpstat etc.
FAQ

The data obtained by importing backlinks from crawlers is also used in the main campaign module and the anchorlist module. On the basis of this data in the presented modules is available filtering on the intersection with the crawlers.

Who will especially benefit from the Linkbox monitor?

We are confident that the monitoring service will be useful for all Linkbuilders without exception, but we would like to highlight some categories of users for whom it will be simply indispensable:

  • Experts on promotion in highly competitive niches. It’s no secret that in competitive niches, you have to keep a close eye on all the new backlinks that appear on your site. Because sooner or later unscrupulous competitors will try to prevent you from taking their place in the top and you need to be ready to instantly defend against this with monitoring and rejection.
  • PBN Building Experts. It will be very useful to monitor what part of your grid Ahrefs and therefore your competitors already know about.
  • Outreach Specialists. When each external link is quite expensive, you can’t help but monitor whether such links are getting into the console.

Some ideas for using crawler monitoring data:

  • Get and analyze natural links that you didn’t know about. To do this, just apply a filter: no crossovers with campaigns after importing all sources. And you’ll get quite a list of data to analyze. And some of them are not even indexed by the search engine. This is an excellent opportunity to significantly improve the link profile of the site in the eyes of Google, just using the addurilka.
  • Monitoring poor quality links. You will learn as soon as possible about any spammy backlinks and can add them to the file disavov.
  • Analysis of backlinks that are most likely to affect the position of their anchors. Used in conjunction with the anchor list with Search Console filtering enabled.

No SEO professional will leave the success of link promotion to chance. Linkbox will help you get full control over your link building and get that much needed extra edge over your competitors.
