SEO Backlink Audits
A backlink is a link created when one website links to another. Backlinks, which can also be called, incoming links, or inbound links, are simply links created on other websites that link back to yours. These incoming links to your website contribute significantly to your overall SEO ranking by boosting your website’s authority and trust in it. Backlinks are extremely critical to a well rounded SEO campaign.
Backlinks, which can also be called, incoming links, or inbound links, are simply links created on other websites that link back to yours. These incoming links to your website contribute significantly to your overall SEO ranking by boosting your website’s authority and trust in it. The screenshot below is a classic example of a website that maliciously received unwelcome backlinks from random websites. In this instance, it was for a toy company just prior to their busiest holiday months.
However, not all incoming links are created equal. The wrong backlinks from poor quality websites pointing back to your site could cause a serious reduction in visitors and/or new customers and a negative impact on your revenue. Even worse, backlinks from disreputable sites could lead to a penalty that completely removes your website from search engines. This is why our SEO experts at Efferent Media perform a thorough SEO backlink audit for all new clients and remove any unwanted, spammy, and/or unnatural links pointing back to your website.

Some of the more commonly known metrics search engines use to determine the quality of an external link are:
<a href=" https://efferentmedia.com">Click this link</a>
Traditionally, for the website visitor, one would see the words “Click this link” in a blue underline, which indicates this will take them somewhere.
Amount of links on one page to the same page.
Amount of websites that link to your site.
Variations of text used in the anchor tag -– There is a difference between ‘click this’, ‘buy red umbrella’ or ‘www.somesite.com’.
Ownership and relationship of linking domains – Buying multiple domains for the sole purpose of building links will not work.
Link Audits help build a solid foundation for current-day and long-term projects. An SEO Link Audit can be done after a redesign, in preparation of a new website, as a general website maintenance check-up, or as a very specific solution to a problem with your website on search engines.
