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.

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
• Contact – The person associated with the link (if specified)
• Cost – The cost of acquiring the link (if specified)
• Date added – When the link was added to your account

Status

• OK – The link is live and as expected
• Error – The link is broken or there’s another issue (see Understanding statuses for details)

Seo metrics

• Ahrefs DR (Ahrefs Domain Rating) — a 0–100 score of the linking domain’s backlink strength, fetched automatically from Ahrefs (no account needed).
• Moz DA (Domain Authority)
• Moz PA (Page Authority)
• 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.

See Understanding metrics and statuses for details.

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.

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

Report scope: one domain or all domains

You can view the Links Report for:

• All your domains combined
• One specific domain

When using the “All Domains Combined” view:

• An extra Domain column is shown
• This lets you manage backlinks across all domains at once

For example, you can filter all the links added by your team across all your projects.

Multiple links from the same referring page

A single referring page can contain multiple backlinks to your site. Linkody tracks each backlink individually, even if they come from the same page.

For example, if a sponsored article contains:

• Link A → pointing to /service-a
• Link B → pointing to /service-b

Linkody will treat these as two separate links, because they have different target URLs.

How to add multiple links from the same page

You can add multiple links from the same referring page by adding the page multiple times — once for each target page.

Each link can have its own:

• Expected landing page
• Expected anchor
• Cost
• Contact
• Expiration date
• Tags and notes

How this appears in reports

In the Links Report:

• Each backlink appears as its own row
• The same referring page URL can appear multiple times
• Each row corresponds to one target page on your site

This allows you to track the status, value, and performance of each link independently.

Customizing Your Report

Column Settings

You can choose which columns are visible to tailor the report to your workflow. Toggle on/off fields like Ahrefs DR, Moz DA, Moz PA, Spam Score, etc.

Sorting

Click any column header to sort the report by that field—ascending or descending. Sort by DA to see high-authority links, or by Last Live Date to monitor recent updates.

Filtering & searching

Quick search

Search across:

• Anchor text
• Source page URL
• Target page URL
• Notes

By default, all these fields are searched together, but you can narrow it down to specific fields.

​ Exclusion search is also supported—find links that don’t contain a specific string.

Filters

Filter links by:

• Rel type
• Status
• Tags or notes

Advanced filters

Click the "Advanced Filters" button to access additional filters hidden by default.

You can filter by:

1. Metrics such as Ahrefs DR, Moz DA, Moz PA, or Spam Score
2. Date added
3. User who added the link
4. Contact associated with the link (see Managing contacts)

Use cases & strategies

1. Track link-building efforts Use tags or notes to mark outreach campaigns or acquired links. 2. Monitor link quality Sort or filter by Spam Score, DA, and PA to identify weak or toxic backlinks. 3. Recover lost links Filter by status to find broken or lost links. Take action to recover high-value ones. 4. Analyze by domain Toggle between all domains or a single domain view to focus on specific projects. 5. Manage outreach contacts Filter links by contact to see all links associated with a specific person. This helps you track which links were acquired through which contact and follow up effectively.

Exporting reports

You can export the Links Report in two formats:

• CSV file — Exports all links currently displayed in the report, reflecting any filters and sorting you’ve applied. Use this to create custom exports based on your current view.
• PDF report — A ready-to-share PDF export of all links, ideal for client reporting or presentations.
