Backlink Profiler (BLP)
A Detailed Summary of Your Backlinks
Get the most comprehensive backlink analysis possible for your own and your competitors’ sites.
The Backlink Profiler (BLP) is the most extensive backlink analysis tool on the market, when it comes to actual data and a multitude of metrics. Obtain backlinks from your domain and learn from backlink profiles of your competition. In addition, BLP helps you find the strongest text links, not existing links, missing image description and the like.
Benefits of the BLP
- Create the most comprehensive backlink profileThe BLP allows for deep dives into backlink profiles of any domain or page. Highly sophisticated charts and visual elements help you understand the data you’re looking at in seconds. Explore details of every single link with just one click.
- Find out more about your link prospects Once you have found some link prospects, you can use the BLP to dive deeper and find out more about the pages where your link could be. The BLP results show you the most comprehensive, real-time backlink report for any domain or page.
- Identify abnormal inbound links By just taking a look at the visualization, you can use the BLP tool for diagnosing problems such as abnormal inbound links which may be causing Penguin Penalties. If this is the case you should then run a DTOX to create a disavow file and clean up your backlinks.
- Improve existing linksYou can use the BLP to find mentions of your site so that you want to change to links. You can also find images with missing alt text that you want to be added. In such case, you can contact the webmaster in an automated manner. Simply use our PitchBox integration.
- Evaluate your backlinksYou want to know how many of your backlinks have an LRT Power*Trust™ value of 0 or are a NoFollow? By using BLP you can filter and export these with the help of the appropriate detail chart.
- Analysis of anchor texts by keyword distributionDo you want to know for which anchor texts you need to create links? With the help of keyword distribution, you can detect if you have too many Brand/ Money/ Compound or other keywords. Compare those with your competition and check which distribution is normal for your niche.

- Use of deleted linksYou can also try to rebuild old links that have already been deleted. With BLP you can also show all your deleted links with [LinkNotFound] and reconstruct them if necessary.

BLP Features
With BLP you obtain a detailed overview of an existing backlink profile for any domain. BLP evaluates linking anchor texts for you and thus helps you to find weak and strong links fast and quickly. Learn more about the distribution of your keywords with the help of BLP by classifying them as Money/ Brand/ Compound/ Other keywords and analyze your deleted links. With the display of your deleted links, you can reactivate good, old links.

The Report Information shows you the basic information about your report.

Here you can learn how many site-wide, deleted and duplicated links have been removed from your report. In principal, we recommend keeping the site-wide link settings, because it secures a realistic picture of your backlink profile. We set 5 as a standard value of a site-wide links filter.
