Is there a tool on Moz or out on the internet that does bad link checker

[ACann]

I'm still pretty new to this and I was wondering if there is a free software, one of Moz or free out on the the internet that allows you to check bad links. I've done a lot of link building with citations and directories that for my clients industry.  I just don't want to add their website and profile to a bad/risky directory and it penalizes my clients.  I've seen a few out there, but I need one that is respectable and reliable.  Any suggestions?  I found one called bad neighborhood http://www.bad-neighborhood.com/text-link-tool.htm.

Thanks Again,

Benny

I don’t see any reliable tool when it comes to bad link checking but if paid is an option for you then I have personally use Link Detox and it works great for me. Link Risk is another tool that I would recommend as I know the people behind that tool and they are amazing brains of the search industry.

Hope this helps!

Hi, there are no real short cuts other than a bit of hard work for checking you can use sites like https://www.majesticseo.com/reports/neighbourhood-checker as a quick guide. A paid option is link Detox but because its algorithm based it still required you to sort though it or you might miss a perfect site that was accidentally picked up for being "bad". Generally I try to avoid software like link detox because normally people use it to bulk check and it can do more harm than good.

Hi Benny,

Here is a link removal flowchart from BruceClay that can be handy while you audit the link profile of a web property:

Thanks guys,

I see there isn't an all in one / magic pill tool to use.
