Backlinks are an important part in optimizing your SEO. But while good backlinks can have a positive impact on your SEO, poor backlinks can have the opposite effect.

If Google sees suspicious backlinks pointing to a website, they may decide to penalize that website for employing black-hat SEO tactics.

The following filters are used when filtering for specific backlinks.

Follow: You can see ONLY the follow links.

NoFollow: You can see ONLY the nofollow links.

New: You’ll see “New” checkbox at the right corner of the “Backlinks analytics table.” As we update the backlinks for every two weeks. Marking this box displays the backlinks within no more than two weeks.

Lost: Marking this box displays the backlinks more than two weeks. New and lost backlinks are used in identifying your link building strategy.

Search by anchors: Using the search box at the left corner of the “Backlinks analytics table,” you can search for specific backlinks by typing the anchor text in this box.

You can see how many new backlinks your competitors have built recently if you enter their domain and select the “New” checkbox. This could tell you whether or not you need to put more attention into your link building efforts in order to catch up or stay ahead of your competitors. With the “Lost” checkbox, you can find backlinks that your competition used to have but are now gone for some reason. These lost competitor links could be great opportunities to reach out and try to get that link to your own website. This can be a great indicator of how much time and effort companies are investing in link building.

The "Referring Domain" section in Backlink Analysis gives the countries sending the most backlinks to the domain. We determine the country of a backlink’s origin by the IP address associated with the referring domain.

The "Anchors" section in Backlink Analysis gives the top anchor texts used in your as well as your competitor’s backlinks. This data has the potential to give you insight into your competitor’s link building strategy.

For websites that sell products or services, it is common to see anchor texts that reflect their top products or topics related to their market. If you see this in your competitor’s backlinks, you can determine what products they like to promote the most with link building.
