SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you identify whether your outbound links follow SEO best practices for dofollow/nofollow usage, sponsored/UGC labeling, and anchor-text quality, so your link profile remains credible and intentional.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • External link classification: Detects outbound links and reports dofollow vs nofollow counts based on rel attributes.
  • Nofollow strategy checks: Flags pages that use nofollow sparingly or omit it where it may be needed.
  • Sponsored/UGC attribute validation: Confirms rel="sponsored" and rel="ugc" are applied when appropriate.
  • Anchor text quality review: Warns when external links have empty anchor text (and no image child).
  • Domain diversity assessment: Extracts unique hostnames from outbound URLs and summarizes coverage.
  • Edge-case handling: Excludes resource/link types like javascript:, mailto:, tel:, and treats CDN resources differently than editorial outbound links.

Quick Start

Ask an AI assistant to run the backlink-monitoring skill to analyze the outbound links on the provided HTML page and return PASS/WARN findings with fix suggestions.

Frequently Asked Questions about backlink-monitoring

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit outbound links for SEO compliance and check dofollow vs nofollow attributes?▼

Auditing outbound links for SEO compliance involves extracting <a href> elements from an HTML page and parsing rel values to classify dofollow vs nofollow links. This checks sponsored and UGC rel attributes, anchor text quality, and domain diversity to ensure credible linking practices.

What is the best way to check if my external links have correct sponsored and UGC rel attributes?▼

Checking external links for correct sponsored and UGC rel attributes requires parsing rel values within HTML anchor tags. An outbound link audit validates whether rel="sponsored" and rel="ugc" are applied appropriately, returning PASS/WARN findings with actionable fix suggestions.

How does outbound link classification handle non-HTTP schemes like mailto and javascript?▼

Outbound link classification handles non-HTTP schemes by filtering out javascript:, mailto:, and tel: during extraction. This edge-case handling ensures only valid HTTP external links are evaluated for domain diversity and nofollow strategy.

Can I review anchor text quality and domain diversity for editorial content automatically?▼

Reviewing anchor text quality and domain diversity for editorial content can be automated by extracting unique hostnames from outbound URLs and checking for empty anchor text. The audit warns when external links lack anchor text and have no image child, summarizing unique domain coverage.

Why does my outbound link audit flag pages that use nofollow sparingly?▼

Outbound link audits flag pages that use nofollow sparingly because omitting nofollow where needed can harm link profile credibility. Nofollow strategy checks identify pages failing to apply nofollow attributes appropriately for sponsored or UGC links.

Do I need raw HTML to analyze an external link profile and domain diversity?▼

Analyzing an external link profile and domain diversity requires raw HTML to extract <a href> elements. The audit parses HTML structure to filter valid outbound links, extract unique hostnames, and summarize domain coverage for editorial content and resource pages.
