      Buongiorno from the river Wharfe 🙂

      With Googles crusade to penalise sites with dodgy backlink profiles I'm looking for an automated tool which could flag up any dodgy links. Yes ive used Open Site Explorer but I really am after something that gives me a simple "yes theres a problem and heres where it is" type solution.

      Any inights welcome 🙂
      Grazie tanto,
      David

        Linkrisk.com looks pretty good.  I was pretty impressed with the new tools that cognitive seo have added for this as well.

        I should say that I have not used either of the above "in anger".  I still prefer to download the link data (WMT + Majestic + ahrefs ideally), stick it in to excel, add some insights using SEO Tools for Excel and go through manually.

        However for a quick look I think linkrisk is good. However   - it isn't cheap.

          LinkDetox does the same and seems to be cheaper.

          We have created our tool to do the same. It's not really difficult, someone in your agency could do the same.
