What are backlinks?
Backlinks are the connections that guide search engines across the web. They act as external signals that help search engines evaluate a website’s authority, relevance, and trustworthiness. This makes backlinks a core part of modern SEO strategies.
Spot spammy or toxic backlinks quickly
Uncover low-quality links, suspicious domains, and spam with consistent crawling and real-time status checks.
Validate anchor texts and surrounding context
Confirm anchor text accuracy and check how your links are embedded on the page using structured, reliable page captures.
Identify orphaned or low-impact backlinks early
Spot backlinks placed on thin pages, expired domains, or unindexed URLs to avoid wasting link-building budget.

Frequently asked questions
How do backlinks influence SEO performance?
Backlinks are a direct signal to search engines that your content is worth ranking. When a reputable website links to yours, search engines treat it as a vote of confidence – the more credible the source, the more weight that vote carries.
That said, quality beats quantity every time. 1 link from a high-authority, relevant domain will do more for your rankings than 50 links from low-quality sites. Spammy and toxic backlinks can actively pull your rankings down if you're not keeping tabs on them.
So it's not just about building links, it's about knowing which ones are helping you, which ones aren't, and acting on that data before it becomes a problem.
What’s the best way to monitor my backlinks?
The most reliable approach combines a solid SEO tool with consistent, large-scale data collection. Most backlink monitoring tools pull data from their own crawls, but those crawls have limits – they can miss newly acquired links, fail to detect lost ones in time, or not cover niche domains relevant to your market.
For teams that need more control and fresher data, scraping SERP and web data directly using Decodo's proxies or Scraping APIs gives you a real-time view of your link profile without depending on a third-party database refresh cycle. You can target specific domains, track anchor text distribution, spot toxic links early, and catch competitor link-building moves as they happen – not days later.
The key is consistency. Backlink monitoring isn't a one-time audit; it's an ongoing process that pays off when done at scale and at regular intervals.
Why should I invest in backlink intelligence and analysis?
Because your competitors already are. Backlink intelligence isn't just about knowing who links to you – it's about understanding why they link to your rivals, which content earns links in your niche, and where untapped link-building opportunities exist.
With structured backlink data at hand, your SEO team can make decisions based on actual patterns rather than guesswork. You can identify which domains are worth targeting for outreach, audit your profile for risky links before Google does, and reverse-engineer what's driving competitor rankings.
For digital marketing agencies, SEO teams, and data intelligence companies, this kind of analysis at scale requires more than a browser tab – it requires infrastructure that can pull web data reliably, bypass access restrictions, and keep up with the pace of the web. That's exactly where Decodo's residential proxies and Web Scraping API come in, giving you the data pipeline to turn backlink research into a repeatable, scalable workflow.
