New websites may link to you, existing links can disappear, and some previously valuable links may become irrelevant.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Regular auditing helps you stay ahead of these changes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Identify Valuable Backlinks<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><p>Not every backlink contributes equally. A relevant link from a trusted website can be considerably more useful than a large number of unrelated links.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Find Potentially Harmful Links<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><p>RankyFy provides a Toxicity Score to help identify backlinks that may require closer examination.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Monitor Lost Links<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><p>Any lost backlink from an authoritative website portrays a missed SEO opportunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Understand Your Link Profile<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><p>Understanding the anchor text, links, status, and referring domains offers a complete analysis of your off-page SEO.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Find Competitor Opportunities<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><p>Analyze competitors\u2019 backlinks to uncover websites already linking to them. This can potentially uncover outreach opportunities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Audit Backlinks with RankyFy<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Step 1: Enter Your Domain<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><p>Start by opening RankyFy&#8217;s Backlink Checker and entering your website domain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>RankyFy allows you to perform backlink analysis to identify links pointing to your website and examine important information about your backlink profile.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Once the analysis is available, begin with the overall backlink profile before diving into individual links.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 2: Review Your Total Backlinks<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><p>One of the first metrics to examine is the number of backlinks your website has. However, your backlink number is not the primary measure of SEO success.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Let\u2019s understand this with an example:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Website A:<\/b><\/p>\n<p> 10,000 backlinks from 500 domains<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Website B:<\/b><\/p>\n<p> 2,000 backlinks from 350 domains<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Website B could potentially have a stronger profile if its referring domains are relevant and authoritative.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>So, the total number of backlinks is a baseline of your backlink health.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 3: Analyze Referring Domains<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><p>Referring domains represent the unique websites linking to your website.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>This is one of the most important backlink metrics to review because a diverse set of relevant referring domains can provide a stronger indication of your site&#8217;s authority than repeatedly receiving links from the same domain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>RankyFy identifies referring domains and helps you examine the websites contributing to your backlink profile.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Look for:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p>Relevant industry websites<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p>Authoritative publications<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p>Trusted business websites<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p>Niche-specific resources<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p>High-quality editorial links<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><p>Also investigate domains that appear unrelated to your business or contain obvious spam signals.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 4: Check Domain and Page Trust<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><p>RankyFy provides Domain Trust (DT) and Page Trust (PT) scores. This helps evaluate the strength of domains and pages associated with backlinks.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>These metrics can help you prioritize which backlinks deserve closer attention.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-81\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-81\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n<th class=\"column-1\">Backlink Signal<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-2\">What to Check<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Domain Trust<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Strength of the referring domain<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Page Trust<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Strength of the specific linking page<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Relevance<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Relationship between the linking website and your niche<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Link Context<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Why and where your website is being linked<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Referring Domain<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Whether the source is unique and valuable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- #tablepress-81 from cache --><\/p>\n<p><p>Don&#8217;t evaluate a backlink based on a single metric.
