Link Detox Features & Benefits
Link Detox Risk
Link Detox Risk is a unique risk metric calculating the risk of any link and your whole domain (Domain DTOXRISK®). Judging on the link risk of any single link helps you decide which ones to disavow, delete or to keep.
The Original Link Detox since 2012
Link Detox was the first link audit product launched in 2012. Since then, we've helped thousands of companies recover from their penalties. Link Detox was free for the first eight months, so that also gave us a head start of many billion data points that no other product ever got to or will be able to incorporate into their algorithm.
Simply said, we know the most about Google penalties. Combine that with the 25 link data sources we have and you will immediately understand that any other product claiming “Link Detox”-like functionality can just not deliver the same quality.
Audit your Full Backlink Profile
Link Detox gives you a complete backlink profile to review you can get on the market. It’s imperative that you analyze your complete backlink profile of course. Imagine you’d just look one part of your car in the annual service and miss critical issues that could cost you your life. It’s the same with backlink audits.
Thanks to the 25 link data sources and the option to connect Google Search Console, Google Analytics, connect your custom link data APIs and even upload any number of links we got you covered. Only you plan limits for the number of links you can audit for a domain.
Full disclosure about recommendations
While some Link Detox knock-offs keep you in the dark about why a link is deemed risky, we list all rules triggered for each link.
Unique organic data-driven algorithm
Link Detox Genesis® is an organic data-driven algorithm that assigns a DTOXRISK to every link depending on an aggregated calculation of multiple patterns and risk signals.
It will help you assess all your backlinks, recover from Google manual penalties, protect your website from future penalties, and build new strong links.
Keyword Intelligence
Link Detox supported keyword intelligence in its rules for years. It’s required to understand if a link anchor text is of commercial nature of a brand mention. Keyword classification helps understand the risk assessed based on frequency, words and many more factors in Link Detox.
Many other link audit products to not even distinguish between the keyword classifications, white LinkResearchTools supported this major requirement since 2010, Link Detox since 2012.
Link Data Cleanup & Recrawl
Combining 25 link data sources and your manual files will create a mess in other tools. LinkResearchTools combines, cleans and recrawls all links before it presents results to you.
What’s the point of using a link analysis software if you look at old data? This problem of inconsistent data in other products was, in fact, the root idea of why we invented LinkResearchTools in 2006.
Custom Link Data
You can upload any link lists you have to Link Detox to enrich our back link data. While this will help the goal have a full backlink profile audit, it’s not required.
Disavow File Import & Generation
Link Detox supported the Google Disavow file already 7 hours after the official announcement of that feature by Matt Cutts at Pubcon Las Vegas 2012. Since then we’ve gone to great lengths to make the disavow file handling perfect for our users.
Disavow File Management
Every action you apply to your disavow file is managed centrally by Link Detox. We create and maintain your disavow file. No more messing around with text files and manual comparisons. We generate the file in the exact format required by Google. Read more.
Disavow File Audit mode
Let’s face it – clients change, SEOs change. You are the one who takes over a domain with an existing disavow file. The first thing you want to do is perform a disavow file audit. There you might find many useful links that you could undisavow and recover traffic that you lost due to human error in the past or because the web changes daily. Read more.
Link Opportunity Audit mode
You can upload a list of links and simulate you would have them already. Link Detox will then calculate the potential risk for those links for you. Based on the Link Detox Risk score for each link you can decide to acquire it or not. Read more.
Disavow File History
Link Detox also keeps a history of all changes for as long as you use the software. This helps you keep track of changes you or your team made over time.
Disavow File History works like a version control for links and disavow files. Think of this as a revision history of your disavow file. You can even retrieve the past disavow file with this feature. Read more.
Link Opportunity Review Tool
Link Detox works seamless together with the Link Opportunity Review Tool (LORT) that allows you to review single or a small number of link opportunities fast. Read more.

Link Detox for Subfolders and Single URLs

Google Search Console Integration

You can even adjust Link Detox to your niche and needs. Link Detox tune is a unique technology that allows you to change the weights of all Link Detox rules for your link audits.

Bullet Proof your Link Network & PBNs
Some black hat SEOs use Link Detox for finding patterns in their link networks and PBNs. Of course, Link Detox is the leader in finding footprints and unnatural links, so this off-label-use make perfect sense. Don’t try this at home.
Audit No Follow Links, or not.
Based on our research No Follow links can also trigger spam penalties in Google. About half of the market confirms this. The other half prefers to ignore potential risks coming from No Follow.
We support analysis for both ways. You can even start with auditing only Follow links first, and then finalize your audit by re-running it for all including No Follow links. Better be safe than sorry. Read more.

Why does a webmaster need to use Link Detox?
A loss in rankings is likely to result in a loss in traffic, and could thus harm your business significantly.
If your site is not ranking properly, chances are you have received a Manual Action or an algorithmic Google Penalty. In such case, Google believes your back link profile may include unnatural links and will thus down-rank your site.
With Link Detox, you can find the bad links that harm your site, create a disavow file automatically, and earn your rankings back.
What is Link Risk Management and how does it help me?
Recovering your site from a Google Penalty is only step one.
Due to the Real Time Google Penguin you can recover fast, but also drop faster.
We recommend doing ongoing Link Risk Management where you monitor your back link profile with Link Detox on a regular basis and disavow shady links proactively. We recommend at least a weekly review and cleanup cycle
Save hours of your time with the Link Detox Screener™
Instead of manually reviewing all your links, why don't you just lean back and go through the links you need to audit without leaving the comfort of your keyboard?
The Link Detox Screener offers a preview of every audited page in a sandboxed environment and you can disavow on page / domain level and jump between the sites like in a video game: with the push of a button.

Most Complete Backlink Profile
Link Detox easily finds more links than any other back link analysis software on the market. By gathering data from 25 different sources, it provides you with the complete back link profile, allowing you to spend time analyzing the data, rather than collating it from dozens of data sources.
Get up-to-the-minute accurate backlink data
Link Detox is superior to other methods and tools because it provides you with fresh, re-crawled backlink data whenever you start a new report. This allows you to research the backlinks that your website has at the present moment.
Don’t look at outdated backlink information; Link Detox is the only off-page SEO tool that allows you to base your decisions on up-to-the-minute accurate data.
This particular re-crawl feature can sure help you recover faster from a Manual Action. After you submit a Reconsideration request, you must keep a close eye on your backlink profile, so that you don't get any new bad links while Google is deciding on whether to lift your penalty or not.
Recover from a Google Penalty faster
Waiting for Google to take notice of your disavow file and not to count all the bad links that are hurting your rankings can be a very slow and painful process
Link Detox Boost® speeds up your recovery from a Google Penguin penalty or a Manual Action.

Unique machine-learning algorithm
Link Detox assesses a DTOXRISK® value for each backlink, including No Follow links.

The Link Detox Genesis calculations include complex technical data and feedback from users, learning from hundreds of thousands of reports created by SEO and domain level.
See how well a page ranks in Google for its title
Here's a unique way for you to check the quality of a link. In Link Detox, you can measure how well a linking page ranks in Google for its page title. If it ranks on a very high page number or does not rank at all, then it has probably been penalized and you should disavow it.
Unique LRT Power*Trust™ metric for each link
In your Link Detox reports, you get a strong two-dimensional SEO metric that will help you quickly assess the power and trustworthiness of a website or page.
We create a disavow file for you
