What is the best link risk software

[KarenJames]

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

http://spyonweb.com/

and http://www.linkdetox.com/

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.
