Backlink Monitor: Monitor Any Website's Backlinks on Autopilot with Historical Data

No matter the size and scale of your brand, your online presence is everything in the digital age. The impact of the pandemic on people’s habits means that digital engagement can have a maximum impact on your brand image, your website credibility, and ultimately your profit and performance.

Backlinks are not a new concept. They’ve been around for as long as search engines themselves have…but only recently have we begun to understand the significance of using them correctly, and the detriments of using them incorrectly.

Backlinks are sort of like “votes” for the credibility of a website. Just as customers leave a positive review on products or services, other websites can backlink to you in their content, and this can act as a positive mark against your site.

The more good backlinks that you have, the higher your credibility rises - this directly translates into a higher position in search results.

The process of accruing backlinks is entirely passive - write good quality content that is reliable and well-sourced, and sites will want to backlink to you.

It’s a win-win relationship; linking to you makes other sites more credible, and getting backlinks makes your site more credible. All of this with no extra effort on your part.

Sounds too good to be true? There is a catch with backlinks - and once again, it’s one that you can’t easily mitigate.

This is the internet we’re talking about - nobody can quantify the number of new websites, new articles, and new links that are generated every day. And each day, a higher percentage of this content is created with malicious intentions.

Scam websites, factually misleading sites, and malevolent actors all want a piece of the evolving digital space…and a quick way for them to become more visible is through backlinking to your site.

Eventually, these get found out, and Google takes action to limit their visibility, and after repeated offenses will even mark the site as spam. But if these sites have ever backlinked to you, then you’re going to be dragged down with them.

Even if you’ve never heard of the site before, had no idea that they’re backlinking to you, and don’t endorse their message, you could be putting all of your SEO work at risk by having backlinks associated with low-quality websites.

Thankfully, you don’t need to leave your website visibility up to chance - with the Backlink Monitor from Ranktracker, you can know exactly where your backlinks are showing up, who is using them, and most importantly you can disassociate your site from any low - quality backlinks.

And you can do all of that on autopilot, without lifting a finger.

Our backlink monitor lets you track multiple domains at once, and can access the historical data for your site. This is important for maintaining quality backlinks and making sure that you don’t drop in search engine results.

It’s not too late to reign in your backlinks, and our mission at Ranktracker is to make it as simple as possible for you to stay in control.
