Audit your backlink profile
Export the list of referring domains from Google Search Console (Links → Top linking sites) or any backlink tool. Paste it here, sort by DR, and you instantly see which links carry the most authority and which come from very weak sites.
What to do with the results
- Elite and Strong – your best links. Keep those relationships and try to earn more links from them.
- Moderate and Low – normal for most sites. Look at relevance rather than DR alone.
- Very low – usually harmless. Review only if you also see spam signals such as unrelated languages, casino or adult content, or thousands of links from one domain.
Check competitors’ backlinks too
Export the referring domains of a competitor and check their DR. The strongest ones that do not link to you yet become your outreach list. This is one of the quickest ways to find link opportunities that are proven to work in your niche.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I get my list of backlinks?
Google Search Console shows your top linking sites for free. You can also export from any SEO tool.
Should I disavow low-DR links?
Not just because of low DR. Only consider disavowing links that are clearly spammy or manipulative.
Can I check competitor backlinks?
Yes. Paste any list of referring domains, yours or a competitor’s.
