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.

Spam Links
Hi everyone, I've just joined the Moz community and after completing our first site crawl I've discovered that we have approximately 200 links with a spam score of over 50%. Should I just disavow all these links or is their a formula to deciding which links to disavow? Thanks in Advance Steve

Link Building - Affiliate Link Programs
I'm getting some conflicting information when researching this... I want to create the most organic link building strategy that not only gets high authority sites linking to a website, but relevant websites. I'm creating an affiliate link program where I link to partner and affiliate companies, who in turn link back to me. The question is where to put these links. I was initially thinking of putting them in the footer so they add credibility to every page, and in turn ask my affiliates to do the same thing. However; some sources say that Google no longer looks at links in the footer section. Is it true that Google doesn't count links in footer sections? And do you have any tips on creating this Affiliate Link Program?

Best way to filter out the nofollowed links from WMT?
When I'm downloading links from WMT to audit them for my unnatural links clients I generally check each individual link. If it is a nofollowed link I make a note that it is nofollowed and move on. I'm thinking that there has to be a quicker way to find all of the nofollowed links so that I can filter them out from the beginning. How would I do that?

How do you check to see if your site (site A) has already been linked to by another site (site B) when you have a large site with lots of links
There are some basics in SEO relating to finding out about who has linked to whom that I could use some help with.

How might Google differentiate between an artificial link exchange and partners linking to each other?
Hi, All! Artificial link exchanges (contacting a vaguely connected site and requesting to exchange links to increase your PR) is, as far as I know, considered an outdated, not-so-smart technique, as Google might devalue them. Yet, for real business partners to exchange links seems to be an entirely accepted and encouraged technique. While that would be intuitive to a human who's viewing the pages. how might Google detect when two sites that link to each other are linking because they are trusted business associates (valuable) as opposed to when they are doing a link exchange (devalued)? Thanks! Aviva

Link to those that link to you? Worthwhile?
We have thousands and thousands of sites that link to a domain we are working on, many with low page authority and high domain (bloggers, forum posts, etc). Has anyone experimented with linking to the pages that link to you (not from your site) but from other means in an effort to boost their quality? I'm not sure what method we would use, maybe some relevant blog comments or social votes. But curious if this could be an effective method.

Tracking Link Requests Best Practices
I've been tracking my link building activities in a spreadsheet using these columns: Date, URL, Action Taken, Status, Link Text used/requested. Can anyone share different or better ways of tracking what links you have requested and how you keep track of them
