Illustration: verdicts in the panel are real Backlink Strainer results; the auction page and its numbers are sample data.
Not every backlinkis a vote.
A domain with 2,000 referring domains can be worth less than one with 20. What matters is who placed the links: an editor, a forum user, a script or a link farm. Backlink Strainer sorts that out before you spend a cent.
Verdicts
Strong, Mixed or Weak for every domain on the page, with the reasons in plain words.
02Donor classes
Editorial sites, platforms, directories, auto-generated pages and link spam, told apart.
03Domain history
The earliest record of the domain and every year it was dropped, back to 2006.
Case: telecom-next.com
A domain we own83 of its top 100 historical donors are editorial sites, only 9 are spam, and it has been dropped at least three times (2009, 2019, 2022). A buyer looking only at the score would have walked past it. This is the gap Backlink Strainer is built for: it finds that history in seconds, so you know which domains deserve a closer look.
Every domain has a past.
Placed by editors of real sites: the press, blogs, organisations. Rare, and the reason a domain is worth buying.
Profiles, forums, directories and listings. They make numbers grow without making a domain stronger.
Link farms and pages generated for every domain on the internet. We name them so you can ignore them.
We keep a long view of the web: link observations since 2017 and public records of dropped domains for almost two decades. We use it to help marketers make better decisions, and we try to restore the purpose of links rather than exploit them. More about DomainDiction.
