Backlink Audits Faster and Bigger

We are proud to present you our product update that will boost productivity and link data quality in your work big time.

Two important high-level improvements

1. Link Detox Screener got more accurate, more detailed AND faster – cut down those audit hours
2. You can now run backlink audits with Link Detox for much bigger link profiles than ever before.

But first, let me tell you about our Launch

1. Faster Link Audits

Using the Link Detox Screener tool from inside Link Detox, you can quickly review website after website while looking at important link data about a specific page.

1.1 Highlight Links

You can now quickly spot all the links on the pages you’re browsing. We’re highlighting all of them for you. More than that, you can see the HTML code for each link and quickly spot No Follow or hidden links.

By using the up and down arrows on your keyboard, you can jump from one highlighted link to your domain to another.

• ▲= Previous Link on Page
• ▼ = Next Link on Page

1.2 Faster Loading/Caching

Thanks to the new caching technology that we implemented, the websites will now load much faster inside your Link Detox Screener.

If we encounter an issue when loading a website, we will display a relevant error for you.

1.3 Show all links and keywords for a page

Your work will go much faster if you use the hotkeys in the Link Detox Screener.

We added the L Hotkey for the new “show all links on the page” feature.

Hitting this hotkey will display a list of all the links on the page to your domain, including:

• the anchor text - for you to quickly spot if it’s a money keyword and
• link status - for you to see at a glance all the Follow and No Follow links

By using the up and down arrows on your keyboard, you can jump from one highlighted link to your domain to another.

• ▲ = Previous Link on Page
• ▼ = Next Link on Page

Here is the updated Link Detox Screener Hotkey list:

• A = Disavow Whole Domain (“A for ALL here is spam”)
• D = Disavow Individual Link
• W = Clear Disavow (“W for Wipe this Page of my Disavow File”)
• S = Skip Sitewide Linking Pages
• C = Add comment to Disavow File
• G = Rate Link as good
• B = Rate Link as bad
• J = Jump to Page
• L = Show all Links on the Page
• ⏴ = Previous Page
• ⏵ = Next Page
• ▲ = Previous Link on Page
• ▼ = Next Link on Page

If you’re using Link Detox (DTOX), but never worked with the Link Detox Screener, it’s a great time to start. We worked on improving it, and many SEOs already consider it a time-saver for their link audit work.

1.4 Trusted SEO metrics at your fingertips

You can save a lot of time and have an overview of the:

1. DTOXRISK

2. Link Status

3. Anchor Text

4. Link Detox Rules

5. LRT Power*Trust for page and domain

2. Increased backlink profile coverage

We now estimate the potential backlink size much better and include data from yet another external data source we didn’t include in the past. In some cases, this means you can now audit 3x, 10x or even 20x bigger backlink profiles.

And here's a popular question we get:

Should we really audit all the backlinks? (Webmaster with millions of Backlinks)

Don't just look at one slice of your backlink profile

Only looking at a part of your backlink profile is not a top-level approach. Don’t use this approach for your website and don’t use it for your customers.

Why?

Because all your backlinks are important. Even the old ones. Analyzing only a part of your domain is like doing a health check only for half of your body. Think of all the negative SEO out there.

Think of all the old, spammy links you never disavowed. They are still part of your backlink profile, hurting your rankings and ready to trigger a Google Penalty any time.

2.2 Superhero and Agency plans get 20% more free of charge!

All existing clients that have a “Superhero” or “Agency” plan get their limits bumped up by 20%.

This means 600k links maximum domain audit size for Superhero and 6 million links for the Agency plans.

By our improvements in 2017, you often can get 2x 3x or even 20x more backlink data in your audit. We do that by including data from yet another commercial external data source. This way, you can now perform that backlink audit on a much bigger picture and cleanup up links you may have been missing before.

This increases the value of your existing Superhero or Agency plan massively. The extra 20% in your plans mean an extra 100k for the Superhero and an extra 1M (yes, MILLION) for the Agency plan.

Of course, we still recommend that you upload and connect all the link data sources possible to get as many data as you can.

But don’t worry about the new price for the Superhero you see on our page. If you already secured your Superhero plan in the past, you will get all those extra links at NO COST, thanks to our Price Grandfathering Privilege our customers enjoy.
