Link Risk assessment
Link Detox Risk: find toxic links and protect your domain
Is your website at risk of losing organic traffic in Google and other search engines?
The metric Link Detox Risk® (DTOXRISK®) is the established and reliable way to find toxic links.
Link Detox Risk is the most reliable detection for spammy links hurting your rankings.
This precision is made possible with the machine learning system Link Detox Genesis and ongoing improvement and re-training. For this, LRT has the biggest data set and history of spam examples mentioned by Google used for that re-training purpose, simply because we were first in 2012, and even free for the first year.
Real Link Analysis
LRT Analyzes Links, not just Pages
A Hyperlink is a connection from a source page to a target page. With all that comes with it.
Link analysis quality beyond competition
LRT helps you to measure links right. LRT looks at both ends of a link, and the impact to each other.
Go and review other products. None of them actually interpret a link for what it is, but present you the source pages, and maybe the target pages, if you are lucky.
Use LRT do analyze links the right way.
Link Scope Concept
Understand a Link's Scope
It makes a big difference from where to where a link goes.
LRT shows you the following different types of link scopes
- External Links
- Network Links
- Subdomain Links
- Internal Links
No Bot Blocks
Find links nobody else finds
We're in the business of finding your (competitor's) links.
LRT goes around bot blocks and robots.txt to show you links others don't want you to see, like PBN links or negative SEO links.
People have asked for way to block us since 2009, and since then we work hard to get around any approach to block our crawlers to find links.
Link detection quality without competition
Ignoring robots.txt and other methods is not an easy thing to do. It's also impossible to do on a large scale, if you want to build a public "one-size fits all" index like other link data products.
We don't even try to be a "one-size fits all" index. We crawl YOUR link profile. For you.
That's how we do it.
This is part of of the LRT Difference.
Crawl Coverage KPI
Backlink Profile Coverage
Backlink Profile Coverage tells you, for every analysis, how much of the potential backlink profile you analyzed.
LRT has 25+ backlink data sources, so can provide the maximum possible data in "Complete Mode".
For best results, always use our "Complete Mode" - outperforming any other backlink analysis software.
Data Freshness KPI
Work with fresh data
How fresh is the data that you are working with?
When did ALL of your links get a recrawl the last time?
Don't fall for the few percent being recrawled recently.
In LRT the metric Link Data Freshness tells you how fresh your backlink profile data is, so you can decide if you'd like to refresh your data with a re-crawl.
After all you don't want to work with old data, do you?

Backlink Simulator - risk of your future link profile
Understand the impact a link will have on your backlink profile IF you add it.
Know if a link will help or hurt your rankings, before you build it.
LinkResearchTools allows you to see the impact a link will have on your backlink profile in the future.
We also call this feature the "Time Machine for Links". Simulating the impact of a potential link to your future backlink profile is possible with ease.
You can simulate links in bulk and the cherry-pick the safes and best ones to go after. This is the secret tool that our clients use to dominate highly competive niches.
Make wise, data-driven decisions in your link building using this unique technology.
Simulating the risk a potential link will have on your backlink profile is possible, because DTOXRISK metric analyzes links as connections from Source to Target, and doesn't just look at the source page like other tools or metrics.
Because the machine learning system Link Detox Genesis is being trained since the early days of Google Penguin with 10.000s of penalties and millions of data points, the precision is unparalleled.
No other system or product can go back in time to train a system like we did.
