Backlink monitoring, link by link
The Backlinks page — paginated list of individual links with status (active/lost/broken), spam score with toxicity badge, Domain/Page/Source Rank on a 0–100 scale, filters by status + toxicity + domain search, disavow.txt export for Google Search Console.
The Backlinks page (second sidebar item in the group) is the complete, paginated and filterable list of every individual backlink detected to the site. What is it for? For seeing which links are active, lost or broken, spotting the toxic links worth disavowing — with the first and last detection dates of each one — and exporting a disavow.txt file ready for Google Search Console.
The 6 stat cards
The 6 cards at the top are clickable buttons that filter the table below:
- Total Detected — every record in the archive: active + lost + broken. It is higher than Current Backlinks on the Overview, which excludes lost links
- Active ✅ — currently confirmed links
- Lost ❌ — links no longer found since the last scan
- Broken ⚠️ — links to pages on your site with an error (404/410)
- Toxic ☣ — spam score ≥ toxic threshold (see badge below)
- Suspicious ⚠ — spam score in the suspicious range (below the toxic threshold but above the attention threshold)
Filters and search
Below the stats: clickable chips for All / Active / Lost / Broken / Not re-checked / Toxic / Suspicious + a search input for source domain (icontains). If there are toxic domains, the ⬇ Disavow (N) chip also appears to directly download the file.
Filters combine with sort: clicking a sortable column header, the active filter is maintained.
The table
One row per backlink. Columns (sortable where there’s a ↑/↓ arrow):
| Column | What it is |
|---|---|
| Status | Coloured pill: Active / Lost / Broken / Unknown |
| Source URL | Full URL of the page hosting the link (clickable) |
| Anchor Text | Clickable link text (italics, truncated at 60 chars) |
| Domain | Source domain (sortable) |
| Type | Link type (text, image, redirect, canonical, etc.) |
| Follow | dofollow / nofollow pill |
| DR (Domain Rank) | Source domain authority 0–100. Colour: ≥50 green, ≥30 blue, below grey |
| Page Rank | Authority of the individual source page 0–100 |
| Spam | Spam score 0–100 with toxicity badge in colour (☣ toxic / ⚠ suspicious / safe) |
| Backlink Rank | Specific authority of the individual backlink (combines domain + page) |
| First seen | Date of first detection (sortable) |
| Last seen | Date of last confirmation (sortable) |
| Last check | When monitoring last re-downloaded and updated the link (sortable). If the link wasn’t re-checked in the latest run, the date carries a ⚠ badge |
Toxic and suspicious rows are highlighted with a light red/orange background.
Exporting the Disavow file
Above the table, if there are toxic domains, there’s the ⬇ Disavow (N domains) chip. Clicking it downloads a disavow-<domain>-<date>.txt file in the format required by Google Search Console:
# Miraqo disavow export — project: Example Ltd
# Generated: 2026-05-24
# Spam score threshold: >= 60
# Domains: 17
#
# Import this file at https://search.google.com/search-console/disavow-links
domain:spamsite1.ru
domain:linkfarm-abc.cn
domain:...Only active domains with a spam score above the threshold are included in the file (lost links don’t affect the current profile, they’re skipped). You can force a different threshold by appending ?threshold=N to the export URL (0–100).
Upload it manually on Google Disavow Tool.
Caution. Disavow is a double-edged sword: if you disavow good links, you lose traffic. Use it only if you have a Google manual action or strong evidence of negative SEO. 90% of sites don’t need it: Google already ignores most spammy links without explicit intervention.
Update frequency
Same as Overview: automatic every 4 weeks. There’s no manual sync button.
If a check finds lost backlinks, whoever has the Drops box enabled in the project notifications gets an email with the vanished links (the top 10 by domain authority) and the count of those still active. See Your account.
Per-project limit and plan quota
By default each project monitors its 1,000 best backlinks (by Domain Rank). One site has 300, another 4,000: in Project settings → General, below Country and Language, you can change Maximum backlinks to monitor. The plan’s backlink quota is shared across all projects in the organization: if one project takes 4,000, less is left for the others. When a site has more backlinks than its limit, the page shows a notice; when the plan quota has been used up by the other projects, the project’s monitoring is paused (and the notice tells you where to free up room). Lowering a project’s limit frees quota immediately.
Links over the limit stay visible but frozen: they are no longer re-downloaded, so their status and metrics date back to the Last check column (⚠ badge). The Not re-checked chip isolates them in one click. Raise the project limit and they come back under monitoring at the next run.
Empty state
If no backlinks have been monitored, you see “No backlinks monitored”. Wait for the first snapshot (it starts on its own a few minutes after the project is added).
