Backlink Quality Evaluator
Simulate and analyze the SEO value of potential backlinks before pursuing them. Understand how different factors impact link equity.
Configure Link Source
Authority Metrics
These metrics measure the overall strength and trustworthiness of the linking domain. Higher values indicate more authoritative sites that pass more link equity.
Context & Relevance
Google values topical relevance. A link from a site in your niche carries more weight than one from an unrelated industry.
Technical Details
Technical attributes affect how search engines interpret and value the link. Dofollow links pass authority while nofollow links typically don't.
These factors can significantly reduce or eliminate the value of a backlink.
Link Value Analysis
Current Placement Impact:
Excellent placement. In-content editorial links pass the most value and appear most natural to search engines.
Understanding Backlink Quality
Authority Metrics
DR, DA, and Trust Flow measure different aspects of a domain's strength. While not official Google metrics, they correlate well with ranking potential and help evaluate link opportunities.
Relevance Matters
A link from a topically relevant site carries significantly more weight than one from an unrelated niche. Search engines use context to determine link value and trustworthiness.
Link Placement
Editorial links within main content are valued highest. Footer and sidebar links, especially site-wide ones, are often discounted as they appear less editorial and more manipulative.
Avoid Toxic Links
Links from spam sites, link farms, or PBNs can harm your rankings. Use Google's Disavow Tool to distance yourself from toxic backlinks that you cannot remove.
