How do I find http backlinks to my domain?
-
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.

You can use Moz SEO tools, to see how may backlinks yoru business has. We don’t this for our SEO agency Cardiff, it helped get our business high on page one of Google, as we built quality links.

@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.
-
https://httpstatus.io/ - can check 100 URLs at a time. Very fast
-
https://www.bulkseotools.com/bulk-http-header-code-checker.php - 500 at a time. A bit slow
-
Screaming frog - you should know how to use this tool.
PROCESS
You will need Google Sheets for it.
-
Export Linking Domains from MOZ
-
Add "http://" to every domain
-
CONCATENATE strings A and B = Write this formula in C column "=a2&b2"
-
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.

Backlink builder (Professional)
If I wanted to hire a professional person to build high quality backlinks for me, where would I look? I'm asking here because I'd rather go on the recommendation of other businesses owners, than a google search. Does anyone have a person that they can recommend? It's for an insurance agency in Texas. Many thanks

Backlinks from The Sun, New Yor Post, etc...
Hello there, Some of my competitors have backlinks from very well-known newspaper websites like New York Post or The Sun. And it is really obvious that their backlinks are paid ones. On these news websites, they don't talk about ghost writing stuff or "partnership" for backlinks. They only write about banner advertising. So I was wondering how they can get a backlink from them.

Do some writers sell those backlinks somewhere else, under the table? Are they in contact with SEO agencies who paid them and if this is the case, does their "manager" know it? or does the company directly have partnerships with SEO agencies? Basically, how to get a backlink from the NY Post or The Sun ? Thanks0 -
Footer backlink for/to Web Design Agency
I read some old (10+ years) information on whether footer backlinks from the websites that design agencies build are seen as spammy and potentially cause a negative effect. We have over 150 websites that we have built over the last few years, all with sitewide footer backlinks back to our homepage (designed and managed by COMPANY NAME). Semrush flags some of the links as potential spammy links. What are the current thoughts on this type of footer backlink? Are we better to have 1 dofollow backlink and the rest of the website nofollow from each domain?

If I migrate to a new domain, does my Domain Authority score get migrated also?
For business reasons, I migrated my domain with a DA score of 85 to a new domain. After some time, the DA score on the new domain is only 45. My migration plan and redirects went smooth and all redirected with best practices in mind. I am still ranking well for almost all of the keywords where I've 301 redirected old URL to new. Any feedback welcome!

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!
