How to classify backlinks types

HI GUYS，

I don't know how to classify backlinks types. Any kind of software can process those backlinks? Thank you.

Does Compete.com do that? I've never used them, but I know they offer competitive metrics. Traffic Travis does some link breakdowns, but it doesn't have a report exactly like that. It will tell you:

• Backlink URL
• Page authority
• Alexa Rank
• The number of urls the page links to
• Whether the page is indexed
• Follow/no-follow
• Anchor text
• IP address
• TLD (.com, .gov, .edu, and so on)

RavenTools also has a really cool link manager. However, I'm not sure whether or not you can use this on competitors' sites.

You may also be able to accomplish this in a moderately automated fashion with a combination of Excel and Majestic SEO. You could identify a lot of blog links, for instance.

In general, Open Site Explorer, aHrefs, and Screaming Frog are excellent tools for exploring a site's back link profile. What characteristics would you like to use to classify backlinks? That is, what do specifically mean by backlink "types", and what are you hoping to accomplish?
