What is the best link risk software
-
Hi there. I want to buy/subscribe to the best link risk software I can find.
We are in the UK. Link Risk has been recommended to me. I specifically want a package that will allow me to check content hosts before we commit.
Can anyone help with comments suggestions please?
Thanks

Hi Karen
If you drop us an email - hello @ linkrisk.com i will arrange for a trial account so you can give LinkRisk a try
Maria - You are 100% correct - No tool will get you to the finish line - If we can get people 75-80% there then a manual review to eliminate false positives then you are on the right track - You would not believe what we see disavowed!
Alex - I would love to see a list of the 22 link sources - We have hunted far and wide and we did not get to 22
Happy to be proven wrong though - Also happy to answer any questions any of you may have
Thanks
Gareth (it is Paul's name on the account!)

Thanks everyone, great advice. I know LinkRisk is £149 per month. I will look at LinkDetox.
We always do a manual review but a couple lately have caught us by surprise, I don't want to take any risks.
Have a great holiday weekend

I'd recommend http://www.linkdetox.com/ from Link Research Tools. It pulls in backlink data from 20+ sources to which you can add your own data, and it categorises links based on a risk rating.
I'm in the UK too - they're based in Austria (I think) and the support is always pretty quick to respond (usually within a couple of hours).
I haven't used Link Risk so can't compare, but a colleague tells me it doesn't pick up as much data (and is more expensive).
Edit - to add to Marie's comment, I agree that links should always be reviewed manually whatever tool is used!

I'm not a huge fan of any of the tools out there right now. I think that any of them can be useful combined with a thorough manual review. But, I see far too many people who just run an automated report and upload the results to their disavow. I've seen so many false positives and negatives that it's quite scary! But then I might be biased considering that I do manual reviews.

Hiya,
Don't know about the best but some resources are:
https://www.majesticseo.com/reports/neighbourhood-checker
First two are free and combine with a good look at back links through e.g majestic SEO or Ahrefs you can get an idea.
Hope that helps.

Inbound link is follow link but we put no follow link back - is it beneficial for rankings?
Dear Moz Community, We are operating in a niche market, where there are not so many content marketing options. What we are left with are link exchanging with relevant sites that are on the same topic but to not directly compete with us. Now we know that if we link back to site A and site a links back to us - for google this is not a very good link. But, some of the sites we are exchanging links with, do not know the term follow vs no follow links. My question - if your link is to site A is a no follow link but they give us a follow link - does it mean thats a better option than a follow vs follow. Thanks for help!

Manual Links Vs. Smart Links
Hey Everybody, Is there any downside to the smart link plugins that I see all over wordpress? Basically in short I enter a keyword and where I want that link to go (primarily internal) and set the parameters of repetition etc and it automatically adds the link to that. Now other than the obvious situation where it might put a link in an awkward place, is there anything wrong with this sort of software? Part of me things that this sort of software would not be liked by Google, and that it isn't really getting counted as a true link, but i wanted to see if there were other thoughts or experience with this.

Why am I getting links in my link report from sites that no longer exist?
So, I have a link report from Link Detox. And I'm going through all of them and considering what sites need to be removed. and trying to find emails and contact webmasters. There is just one odd thing i'm starting to see more of. A lot of links are on websites or webpages that no longer exist. The link no longer exists. Some of the domains are even available for purchase. Why are these links showing on the backlink report and are they really harming my website? Also, do I need to add these links into the disavow document that I will submit to Google?

Outbound links
We are working with a large, global customer that has asked us to link to their website from about 5,000 pages of our website. The links would either point to one page on their website, or they would point to specific pages throughout their website. Is this a bad thing from an SEO perspective, as in - would either of us be penalized from search engines for doing this?

Blog traffic / link ratio? (Esimated of how much traffic will result in a link)
Hi, Was wondering if people could please tell me some estimates of how much traffic is likely to gain links to a blog post? For example 1,000 hits = 1 link, Hence 10,000 hits = 10 links to a blog post? I understand there is no magic ratio I just want to know what people have achieved. I’m after averages not just a one off really successful blog post too. Please specify the topic you achieve this in e.g. SEO, photography, business, heath... etc.

Free link on a Paid Link Blog
Hi there, I have been doing some outreaching, and managed to have a blog post accepted on a authority blog. They included links to my website, and I was very pleased with the placement. However, having browsed through the site, I was worried to see that they openly admit they allow 'reviews' of websites, with backlinks included, for $50 per review. I am worried I might be penalised without actually doing anything wrong. I did not pay for my link, but the link has been placed on a site which openly admits they accept payment for links. Should I be worried? Should I ask them to take it down? To date I have been told countless times by bloggers I am outreaching that if I pay $10, $50, $100 etc I can write a blog post. I have never accepted because of the risk of penalization. Now, unwittingly, I am linked to from a paid link site with a blog post that would look like I have paid for it because of the placement and style of back link. What do you think? Thanks,
