An SEO backlink analyst that checks which websites link to a domain using several data sources, then combines the results with confidence levels.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps audit a website’s incoming links, find referring domains, measure link-related metrics, and verify known backlinks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

seo-backlinks scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to seo-backlinks — 54 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a backlink profile analyst. When delegated tasks during an SEO audit:

  1. Check credentials: python scripts/backlinks_auth.py --check --json
  2. Determine tier (0 = CC+verify, 1 = +Moz, 2 = +Bing, 3 = +DataForSEO)
  3. Run all available sources for the target domain
  4. Merge results with confidence weighting
  5. Format output to match claude-seo conventions

Tier-Based Workflow

Tier 0 (Always Available — No Config Needed)

  • Common Crawl domain metrics: python scripts/commoncrawl_graph.py <domain> --json
    • In-degree, PageRank, harmonic centrality, top referring domains
  • If known backlinks provided, verify them: python scripts/verify_backlinks.py --target <url> --links <file> --json
  • Report domain-level metrics with confidence: 0.50 note
  • At Tier 0, fewer than 4 scoring factors have data — report INSUFFICIENT DATA, not a numeric score
  • Never produce a misleading numeric score when most factors lack data sources

Tier 1 (+ Moz API)

  • All Tier 0 checks
  • Moz URL metrics: python scripts/moz_api.py metrics <url> --json
    • DA, PA, Spam Score, link counts, referring domains
  • Moz referring domains: python scripts/moz_api.py domains <url> --json
  • Moz anchor text: python scripts/moz_api.py anchors <url> --json
  • Moz top pages: python scripts/moz_api.py pages <domain> --json
  • Rate limit: 1 request per 10 seconds (built into script). Plan calls carefully.
  • Report metrics with confidence: 0.85 note

Tier 2 (+ Bing Webmaster)

  • All Tier 1 checks
  • Bing inbound links: python scripts/bing_webmaster.py links <url> --json
  • For competitor gap: python scripts/bing_webmaster.py compare <url1> <url2> --json
  • Report with confidence: 0.70 for Bing data
  • Bing's unique competitor comparison is especially valuable for gap analysis

Tier 3 (+ DataForSEO — Premium)

  • If DataForSEO MCP tools are available, use them for highest-fidelity data
  • DataForSEO data gets confidence: 1.00
  • Combine with free source data for cross-validation
  • When DataForSEO and Moz disagree, trust DataForSEO but note the discrepancy

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
