      Hi,

      We spotted a number of sites linking to us from http sites, not https sites. How can I use backlink tools to find just those from http sites?

      Right now I'm looking at exporting a spreadsheet with 3.3 million entries and filtering - and there's not one person here who wants to do that!

      Thanks in advance.

            @mark_seomoz1 If i understand you want to see who is linking to you and if HTTP vs htts? don't forget you can use Search engine console too! Wouldnt a sort in e.g. Google sheets work for this? just sort via HTTP then split via text to collum to get domains and de-dupe and it will roughly show you domains doing that in a few min.

            Unless you are chasing some hypostasis as long as your site is https it really isn't much to worry about nor much you can do.

              Hi webmaster,

              When exporting links from Moz Link Explorer, they come without http part.

              You can try using tools like http response header checker.

              1. https://httpstatus.io/ - can check 100 URLs at a time. Very fast

              2. https://www.bulkseotools.com/bulk-http-header-code-checker.php - 500 at a time. A bit slow

              3. Screaming frog - you should know how to use this tool.

              PROCESS

              You will need Google Sheets for it.
              51aa435f-5e33-4195-b4da-5fca8117c146-image.png

              1. Export Linking Domains from MOZ

              2. Add "http://" to every domain

              3. CONCATENATE strings A and B = Write this formula in C column "=a2&b2"

              4. Crawl the http URLs

              5. Check which URLS contain 200 status codes, filter out REDIRECTED URLS containing https. Here they are http domain backlinks. This is how I would solve your task.

              I hope it helps. If you have questions, you are welcome.

                How does indexing backlinks affect SEO and search engine rankings?

                backlinks

                Indexing backlinks plays a crucial role in the overall SEO strategy and search engine rankings. When search engines like Google crawl and index a website, they also consider the quality and relevance of the backlinks pointing to that site. Here's why indexing backlinks is important: Visibility in Search Results: Indexing ensures that search engines recognize and attribute value to the backlinks you have acquired. When indexed, these backlinks contribute to the overall link profile of your website and can positively impact your visibility in search results. Faster Indexation: By submitting your backlinks for indexing, you can speed up the process of search engines discovering and recognizing those links. This helps search engines recognize the relevance and authority of your website sooner. Enhanced Crawling and Ranking: Indexing allows search engines to crawl and evaluate the backlinks pointing to your site. These backlinks are considered as signals of trust and authority, which can influence your search engine rankings. Improved Domain Authority: When high-quality backlinks pointing to your site are indexed, they contribute to your website's Domain Authority (DA). A higher DA indicates a more authoritative and reputable website, which can positively impact your rankings and organic search visibility. Competitive Advantage: Indexing your backlinks gives you a competitive edge by ensuring that the value and authority of those links are properly recognized and taken into account by search engines. This can help you outrank competitors who may have unindexed or low-quality backlinks. It's important to note that not all backlinks may require manual indexing, as search engines can discover and index them naturally. However, for specific or newly acquired backlinks that may not be indexed quickly, manual submission or using indexing services can help ensure they are recognized by search engines and contribute to your overall SEO efforts.

                Unsolved Inaccurate backlinks being listed in Moz campaign

                backlinks campaign details

                Moz keeps saying that these websites (amongst others)... https://toolszap.com/
                https://www.findwallpaperhd.com/
                https://onlinecoursesschools.com/
                https://www.tonzo.com/ ...are linking to one of my client sites at https://www.scamblermusic.com The websites in question clearly aren't related and aren't linking to the site, and there's no reference to Scambler Music anywhere in the source code. Why does Moz keep listing backlinks that simply don't appear to exist?

                Can Foreign Language Backlinks Be Valuable?

                backlinks link building

                I've done a lot of searching on this subject, but I keep seeing conflicting answers. Are backlinks from foreign language websites valuable? For example, a travel website in English picks up a couple backlinks in Indonesian language (and other languages) from foreign sites that have a DA of 60-70 or higher. The topic is partially related, but the language is totally different. Would those links still be valuable for the English website's DA? Has this ever been answered conclusively? Thanks

                Is Moz's backlink checker.... just... not good?

                Hey everyone! Can somebody explain to me why this keeps happening: Whenever I'm trying to backlink my competitors, I typically use RavenTools. Every time, without fail, if I put that same URL into Moz's Open Site Explorer - It gives me about 1/20th of what RavenTools shows me. Sometimes it literally comes up with 2 or 3 links total. Unfortunately, RavenTools has a cap on how many backlink checks you can perform in a month - so once I've used those up, I have to start using OSE... But, it just doesn't work. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

                Do other sites linking to my page with a low domain authority affect my rankings?

                Hello, my page authority 30, I see other page with an authority of 21 for example linking to us. Is this good or bad, does this affect our ranking? A lot of these don't have anchor text, I'm guessing we should reach out to these webmaster to include anchor text with the keywords we want to drive traffic to this page or make as descriptive as possible? Thanks! Laura
