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 7d 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

100% identical to seo-backlinks — 0 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.

Source Detection

Before analysis, detect available data sources:

  1. DataForSEO MCP (premium): Check if dataforseo_backlinks_summary tool is available
  2. Moz API (free signup): python scripts/backlinks_auth.py --check moz --json
  3. Bing Webmaster (free signup): python scripts/backlinks_auth.py --check bing --json
  4. Common Crawl (always available): Domain-level graph with PageRank
  5. Verification Crawler (always available): Checks if known backlinks still exist

Run python scripts/backlinks_auth.py --check --json to detect all sources at once.

If no sources are configured beyond the always-available tier:

  • Still produce a report using Common Crawl domain metrics
  • Suggest: "Run /seo backlinks setup to add free Moz and Bing API keys for richer data"

Quick Reference

Command Purpose
/seo backlinks <url> Full backlink profile analysis (uses all available sources)
/seo backlinks gap <url1> <url2> Competitor backlink gap analysis
/seo backlinks toxic <url> Toxic link detection and disavow recommendations
/seo backlinks new <url> New and lost backlinks (DataForSEO only)
/seo backlinks verify <url> --links <file> Verify known backlinks still exist
/seo backlinks setup Show setup instructions for free backlink APIs

Analysis Framework

Produce all 7 sections below. Each section lists data sources in preference order.

1. Profile Overview

DataForSEO: dataforseo_backlinks_summary → total backlinks, referring domains, domain rank, follow ratio, trend.

Moz API: python scripts/moz_api.py metrics <url> --json → Domain Authority, Page Authority, Spam Score, linking root domains, external links.

Common Crawl: python scripts/commoncrawl_graph.py <domain> --json → in-degree (referring domain count), PageRank, harmonic centrality.

Scoring:

Metric Good Warning Critical
Referring domains >100 20-100 <20
Follow ratio >60% 40-60% <40%
Domain diversity No single domain >5% 1 domain >10% 1 domain >25%
Trend Growing or stable Slow decline Rapid decline (>20%/quarter)

Changes

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.
