Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Backlink Risk Score calculated?

We use over 30 data points including domain age, traffic, hosting neighborhood, spam words, anchor text distribution, and known spam network patterns to compute a 0-100 score.

What is considered a 'High Risk' score?

Scores above 65 are considered Toxic (High Risk). Scores between 30-64 are Suspicious, and 0-29 are Safe. We recommend manual review for anything over 30.

Can I check individual URLs?

Yes, you can input single URLs for a quick check, or upload bulk lists to score thousands at once.

Why do I need to know the risk score?

Google penalizes sites with 'unnatural' link profiles. Knowing your risk score helps you proactively clean up bad links before you get hit with a manual action or algorithmic penalty.

Does the score match generic tools like DA/DR?

No. DA/DR measures authority. LinkCrit measures *risk*. A high DA site can still be toxic if it's a hacked site or part of a link farm.
