Backlinks

What it's for

Your referring domains, anchors, new/lost links and a conservative toxicity assessment, plus a Google-ready disavow export. Needs a backlink data source (CSV import or a connected provider) and a plan that includes backlinks.

When to use it

  • To monitor link growth and catch a negative-SEO attack.
  • Before disavowing, to separate truly toxic domains from normal ones.

How to use it

  1. Project → «Backlinks»; import a CSV or connect a provider.
  2. Review referring domains, new/lost and the toxicity list.
  3. Export a disavow file only for genuinely toxic domains.

Reading your results

For each output: is it good, does it need improvement, or is it bad — and exactly what to do next.

Net new vs lost links

Good Steady net positive: healthy, organic growth.
Needs improvement Flat or churny: link-building has stalled.
Bad Net negative / sudden loss: investigate lost links or an attack.

Toxicity score (per domain)

Good 0: clean — no action.
Needs improvement 1–49: watch; not strong enough to disavow yet.
Bad 50+: flagged toxic (a strong signal or several weak ones).

Next steps

  • Upload the disavow file in Google Search Console (only if needed).
  • Pursue links from competitors' referring domains.
