Understanding the Links Report

Discover how Linkody's Links Report helps you analyze, track, and manage your backlinks effortlessly.

Updated over a week ago

The Links Report is your central dashboard to view, analyze, and manage all backlinks for your domains. It offers detailed insights into each link’s attributes, status, and SEO value.

What you’ll see in the report

Each row in the Links Report represents a backlink with detailed data to help you understand its role and impact.

Links Report

Link attributes

  • Anchor text – The clickable text of the link

  • Rel attribute – e.g., dofollow, nofollow, sponsored, UGC

  • Source page (title + URL) – The page where the link is placed

  • Target page (URL) – The page being linked to

Status

  • OK – The link is live and as expected

  • Error – The link is broken or there’s another issue (see FAQ for details)

Seo metrics

  • Domain Authority (DA)

  • Page Authority (PA)

  • Spam Score

  • IP address & country

  • TLD (top-level domain)

  • EFL (external followed links)

  • Last live date – When the link was last found live

  • Ranking – Popularity score from Tranco

  • Google index status – Whether the source page is indexed in Google

👉 About the Google index status
Linkody includes the Google index status as part of its backlink analysis; however, this is not the primary purpose of the tool. We perform a single check per page, which means there is a low chance of false negatives — a page may appear unindexed when it is actually indexed in a different Google datacenter. This is rare and usually temporary. The indexing status is refreshed automatically every 14 days. For more advanced and dedicated indexing monitoring, consider using a specialized tool like IndexCheckr.

Notes & tags

Links can have custom notes and tags, visible via icons in the table. These help with organization, collaboration, or tracking manual changes.

Click on the notes icon to visualize or add a note.

Notes associated to a link

Click on the tag icon to visualize or add a tag. See Using tags to organize your links.
