Backlink monitoring that catches the moment a placed link dies
A backlink monitoring tool for every link you've bought or placed: live/lost status, dofollow, anchors, redirect chains and budget — with scheduled re-checks and client-ready reports.
See Backlink Monitoring in action
It began as bookkeeping for the links we buy — and grew into scheduled control that tells you the moment a placement changes.
Keep account of bought links — and make sure they stay correct
We place and buy a lot of links, and needed to know each one actually stays live and correct after the money’s gone. By hand it doesn’t scale: a page gets reworked and your link quietly vanishes, an anchor gets edited, a dofollow flips to nofollow, a whole domain drops out of the index — and you keep paying as if nothing happened. So the ledger became scheduled link control with full history.
Projects that re-verify every placement on a schedule
For each link you record what it should be — source → target, expected anchor, dofollow/nofollow, type, tier, text or image, where it came from and its price — and every check measures what it actually is: page status and whether your link is still present, the real dofollow/nofollow, the anchor found vs expected, full 301 redirect chains, a best-effort Google index check and the page’s outbound-link count. Around it: anchor-health warnings, block-lists and wishlists, spend by type and tier, per-project teams with per-member permissions and contributor attribution, and public read-only client reports — all with history.
The whole project, and every link’s history
For a project at a glance:
- Live vs lost — how many placements survived
- Dofollow ratio — followed vs nofollow
- Anchor health — over-optimization warnings
- Redirect chains — when a target quietly moves
- Indexation — what share is still in Google
- History — the exact day a link changed
Stop paying for links that quietly died
You find out the moment a re-check catches a removed link or a flip to nofollow — not months later in an audit. You can prove to a client that placements are intact with a live, read-only report. Over-optimized anchor profiles surface before they become a risk. And the wishlist plus spend breakdown turn link buying from guesswork into a plan.
Backlink monitoring software in three levels: projects, a project, a link
Group placements into projects — one per client or campaign — open a project to work the full link table, and open any link to read its complete check history. Every view is its own URL, so a project report is a link you can share.
Projects
A card per client or campaign with live / lost counts, dofollow ratio and total spend at a glance.
The project
The full link table — status, anchor, type, tier, price, contributor — with filters, budget analytics, block-lists, wishlist and team.
A link
One placement’s full timeline: every re-check, and the exact day status, rel or anchor changed.
What SEO backlink monitoring verifies on every link
For each link you record what it should be; every re-check measures what it actually is — what it shows, what you learn and how it helps.
- Shows
- The actual rel on the link, compared to what was expected.
- Helps
- Catch a dofollow that was quietly switched to nofollow.
- Shows
- The anchor found on the page next to the one you recorded.
- Helps
- Spot an edited or swapped anchor without opening the page.
- Shows
- Your anchor mix — exact / brand / URL / generic — as a traffic-light profile.
- Helps
- See when money anchors get risky before it hurts.
- Shows
- The full 301 chain from source to final target, flagged when it changes.
- Helps
- Notice when a link is redirected away from your page.
- Shows
- A best-effort Google site: index check per link, run in the background.
- Helps
- A link on a de-indexed page passes no value — find those.
- Shows
- Source — marketplace, seller, outreach or a reciprocal exchange — with the exchange’s pages tracked too.
- Helps
- Keep provenance, and verify both sides of a swap.
- Shows
- Price per link and spend by type and tier, per project and per member.
- Helps
- See where the money goes and what each placement returns.
What keeps every link honest
Manual checks don’t scale and cost real API money. As backlink monitoring & analysis software, it re-verifies on a schedule, keeps index checks cheap, and stores every result so nothing is lost.
Scheduled re-checks
A background scheduler re-verifies every placement on a cadence — page, link presence, rel, anchor and redirects — with a manual re-check any time you want fresh data.
Cheaper index checks
Google site: lookups run as DataForSEO STANDARD tasks (~3× cheaper than live) collected in the background, so indexation costs stay low.
Browser emulation
Links that only appear after JavaScript render can be checked with optional browser emulation — opt-in, since it’s heavier.
Full history
Every check is stored, so a link’s timeline shows the exact day status, rel or anchor changed — not just today’s snapshot.
Per-project teams
Members add their own links with per-member permissions, and every link keeps its contributor — so you know who placed what.
Sharing built in
Public read-only reports for clients and shared inventory-check forms for link builders, on a share token (custom domain on Agency).
