How do I find what backlinks have disappeared?
-
I have seen a decrease in backlinks, how do I figure out which ones are no longer there?
-
it's 5 years using their historical data
-
I have been in contact with A href and they only go back 2 months do you know how far back Majestic goes?
-
it gives you all your lost backlinks as well (like ahrefs)
Link research tools can easily do this too.

Hi Niners52,
Rather than rely on an external tool to have found all of the URLs in a crawl and report them accurately, I would run a direct crawl using Screaming Frog.
There is a post on their blog which provides step by step instructions on how to use the tool to crawl a specific list of URLs.
You can only do this with the licensed version of Screaming Frog, but if you are not already using it, the cost is only 99 British pounds per year, and it is crazy useful for a thousand other things. A little more value for money than just subscribing to a more specific tool for just one month.
This way you will actually have a crawl result, not just a read from another tool.
Hope that helps,
Sha

I am looking at paying for an account for a month but it seems it only shows the last two months of what has been lost, I really need to go back about 6 months. is that possible?
-
You can create a free account. It's better than nothing
-
Is there a way to do it without a subscription?
-
http://ahrefs.com will show you the links you have lost.
-
ahrefs.com can show it to you

Directory Listings no longer counted in Backlinks?
Interesting situation when I looked at Google Search Console this morning, I found that back-links from directories had dropped off and am wondering if anyone else is seeing this? Specifically, I am in Australia and had links from Yellowpages.com.au and Truelocal.com.au to my primary domain. Interestingly, Yellow Pages had gone a bit crazy recently in that the number of links to my site seemed to balloon exponentially from about 50 when I first listed to 700+ to 1500+ to 1800+ and then the balloon popped. Truelocal in contrast was only ever showing the 1 link. There have not been any changes from my end, and I only ever had one listing in these directories so not sure what generated all these extra links in Yellow Pages. Anyone else in Australia noticed a sudden drop off in Google Backlinks from Directories? If not it may just be a temporary blip.

Backlinks from ads on parked domains? Is this possible?
Hello Moz Friends, So as I was researching some competitive backlinks and I noticed a lot of backlinks that a clients competitor has are on parked domains and they appear to be google ads from some point. You know the pages that this page no longer exists, or hey do you want to buy this domain? and it has like 6 google ads on it? Yep those pages. My clients industry is construction and their competitor has links from zombie websites, foreign, websites and more. But the links are no longer on the page. Like when it was crawled, their ad was showing. Does this make any sense and is it usually temporary? Thank you for your thoughts friends!

Pr4 domain backlink from a blog post
I'm about to do a guest blog post on a pr4 domain. Will I be getting an actual pr4 backlink? I'm thinking since it's technically not going to be on the homepage forever since it's just a blog post and also a blog post has it's on page once you click on it I'm not going to get a pr4 backlink. Correct?
