How do I find what backlinks have disappeared?
-
I have seen a decrease in backlinks, how do I figure out which ones are no longer there?
-
it's 5 years using their historical data
-
I have been in contact with A href and they only go back 2 months do you know how far back Majestic goes?
-
it gives you all your lost backlinks as well (like ahrefs)
Link research tools can easily do this too.

Hi Niners52,
Rather than rely on an external tool to have found all of the URLs in a crawl and report them accurately, I would run a direct crawl using Screaming Frog.
There is a post on their blog which provides step by step instructions on how to use the tool to crawl a specific list of URLs.
You can only do this with the licensed version of Screaming Frog, but if you are not already using it, the cost is only 99 British pounds per year, and it is crazy useful for a thousand other things. A little more value for money than just subscribing to a more specific tool for just one month.
This way you will actually have a crawl result, not just a read from another tool.
Hope that helps,
Sha

I am looking at paying for an account for a month but it seems it only shows the last two months of what has been lost, I really need to go back about 6 months. is that possible?
-
You can create a free account. It's better than nothing
-
Is there a way to do it without a subscription?
-
http://ahrefs.com will show you the links you have lost.
-
ahrefs.com can show it to you

Sudden spike in backlinks - should we disavow?
A kitchen remodelling firm in Australia has noticed a big increase in spammy backlinks to their website since April this year. Majestic shows that referring domains and backlinks during that period have gone up from 400 domains (10,000 links) to 1,070 domains (47,000+ links). About 100 are sitewide links. The vast majority are "follow" links directed at image files on the site - ending in .jpg. Ahrefs now shows the number one anchor text (23%) is a period (full stop) "." Most of the links come from .us domains, eg: cowboysr.us

alldpic.com Google Search Console isn't showing any of these links, there's no penalty on the site and there's been no noticeable change in rankings (if anything organic clicks went up over May, June, July) ... so we're wondering what action - if any - should be taken. Are these links likely to have a negative impact on the site and homepage? Should we disavow these links? Appreciate any advice. Thanks.0 -
Why would backlinks trump content and keywords / DA?
While analyzing competition, I frequently see backlinks being the biggest factor at deciding rank for keywords, while content and keyword page grading can say great things, it always comes down to backlinks it seems. Even our DA is better or equal, Why would this be?

Do backlinks which contain parameters pass value
For some of our partners, we use our own tracking string in the url i.e. www.mysite.com/landingpage.html?partner=123456 . This has caused backlinks to be created to our site containing the partner string. I was wondering if these links would pass value to www.mysite.com/landingpage.html and the tracking parameters would be ignored or would Google treat www.mysite.com/landingpage.html?partner=123456 as its own page. If it did treat it as a seperate page, could you reclaim some of it using the canoncial tag?

High quality links but where do you find them?
Hi, A lot of the answers on here point to building high quality links, which makes sense but where do you find these links? Lets say the website sells Football Boots, the current keyword you are trying to rank for is say 'Indoor Football Boots'. How do you now go about looking for those links? Cheers
