Best way to check/find lost links?
-
Hi all
As everyone, we have seen a decrease of domain authority and external links during the last months. with open site
Rand is explaining the reason in this in this post, but I still would like to have a look to the links that in theory I have lost during the last months.
I thought Majestic was the best option but I have been trying to get the info and I see nothing clear.
When I download the fresh or history links, I only see links that are live (in theory, because in history I get a lot not existing but I can not see it without a manual check).
The option of lost links is just giving me 1000 links per day, but after downloading some and checking I see that this lost link report is showing me links that are working (but it looks that majestic couldn't access when they did the crawling and show them as lost).
Also the numbers of lost links are totally different if you use fresh or historic...
Anyone could recommend me a good way to find out links that I really lost?
Thanks

When conducting a link building strategy does it matter the country the link is from?
We are a UK business and if we have links mostly from US based blogs and websites does this penalise us. The links are from relevant websites and topics. Should we be focusing on .co.uk sites
