Domain/URL Backlinks Overview

Backlinks explorer makes finding links to a domain easy and allows for unique views with numerous filtering capabilities. Backlink data for your own domain and universal competitors is retrieved from Majestic utilizing the greatest exportable amount of 50,000 and is updated on a weekly basis. 

Background & Requirements

Each week the top 50,000 backlinks are retrieved and de-duped against the existing list for your own domain and universal competitors. Other searches for Ad hoc domains or URLs will be retrieved by request and this data retrieval process can take up to 30 minutes. Ad hoc searches that have previously been retrieved will display a last refreshed date with the ability to update to retrieve the latest data.
