Frequently Asked Questions

What is backlink classification?

Backlink classification categorizes your incoming links by type - editorial, guest post, directory, forum, social, comment, resource page, etc. This helps you understand which link building strategies are most effective for your site.

Which types of backlinks are most valuable?

Editorial links from relevant, authoritative content are most valuable. Guest posts on quality sites, resource page inclusions, and HARO/journalist links follow. Directory submissions, forum links, and blog comments provide less SEO value but help diversify your profile.
