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-link-building 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 2mo 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.

When to Activate

Use this skill when developing an off-page SEO strategy, planning link-building campaigns, evaluating backlink quality, creating linkable assets, or diagnosing why a site isn't ranking despite having strong on-page SEO. Backlinks remain one of the top 3 ranking factors.

First Questions

  1. What is the site's current domain rating and backlink profile?
  2. What are the target keywords and which pages need link support?
  3. What linkable assets exist or could be created? (data, tools, research, guides)
  4. What is the budget and team capacity? (link building is labor-intensive)
  5. What industry is this in? (different industries have different link building opportunities)
  6. What's the competitive backlink landscape? (how many links do top-ranking pages have?)

Not all backlinks are equal. A single high-quality link can outweigh hundreds of low-quality ones.

High-Quality Link Signals

  • Relevance: The linking site is topically related to yours
  • Authority: The linking domain has a high DR/DA (50+)
  • Editorial: The link was earned because of content quality, not paid for or exchanged
  • Contextual: The link appears within the body content, not in a sidebar, footer, or author bio
  • DoFollow: Passes PageRank (nofollow, sponsored, and UGC links have limited SEO value)
  • Unique domain: Links from unique domains matter more than multiple links from the same domain
  • Traffic: The linking page receives organic traffic (indicates Google trusts it)

Red Flags (Low-Quality / Toxic Links)

  • Links from irrelevant sites (casino links to a SaaS blog)
  • Links from link farms or PBNs (private blog networks)
  • Paid links without rel="sponsored" (violates Google guidelines)
  • Links from pages with hundreds of outbound links
  • Links from hacked or compromised sites
  • Sitewide links (footer, sidebar) from irrelevant domains
  • Exact-match anchor text from many sources (looks manipulative)

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.
