p style=”text-align: justify;”>Link building has consistently remained one of the highest rated essentials in search engine optimization, and it includes inbound links as well as those located on your website or landing pages. Once you’ve inserted links or obtained backlinks from other online locations, however, you need to monitor the performance and functionality of those links periodically.

<

p style=”text-align: justify;”>With the constantly changing structure of the Internet today, links are almost like many websites – here today and gone tomorrow. You may have placed backlinks on sites that seemed to have staying power, only to find out (often too late) that the site was taken down or removed and your links have been lost. If a link is not generating traffic or gets lost or removed, you need to know so you can take action to repair or replace the link before you lose site visitors and potential clients.

<

p style=”text-align: justify;”>With proper link tracking methods in place, you would find out almost immediately when links change, disappear, become modified, or stop working the way you want them to. There are many different tools available for link tracking that will tell you everything you need to know about the activity of your links.

p style=”text-align: justify;”>The SEO realm is in just as much flux as the Internet itself, with the “rules” for optimizing websites changing on an almost daily basis, it seems. Don’t let your link building strategies hinder your SEO efforts due to a failure to properly monitor and track link activity.

<

p style=”text-align: justify;”>Whether you are doing your own SEO, hiring an agency to handle it, or even outsourcing your needs to an SEO reseller, keeping track of your link functionality and activity should be one of your top monitoring priorities. Make sure you choose a link tracking program that provides you with the data you need to stay on top of your website and link performance.

    Hi, nice post and I agree with all tools on the list. But, why not simply use
    “keyword” + inurl:links, check DA and PA of the sites listed in Google and trying to respond with simply relevant answers to comments or posts. It’s not difficult and working last two years for me perfectly.

    These are really great tools for checking seo backlinks. I mostly uses opensiteexplorer to check backlinks. We can also check backlinks using Google. We only need to write link:websitename.com in Google then Google will show the results of all the pages on which the link of that website is already placed. Thanks for sharing this post. 😉

    Hi,

    Ahrefs is the best tool for tracking almost every backlink pointing towards any domain or internal page. I found it to be the best by first-hand experience.

    SEO and link building is still important even though the official Google blog says that we need to focus on writing high quality content for people instead of search engines.It is very useful to know from where your competition gets their backlinks.It makes it easier to rank and even outrank your competition.
