The graph shows the dynamics of adding new referring domains to the analyzed domain/URL for the last year (with an interval of one week.)

* there is a tooltip on hover (the date, the number of referring pages and the value of the dynamics for the selected point).

It shows the dynamics of changes in the number of pages linking to the analyzed domain/URL. The data is displayed for the last year with an interval of one week.

It shows the number of new and lost external links from the analyzed domain or URL by the dates of checks over the last year.

The green columns in the diagram correspond to the new links. Positive values are provided on the vertical axis.

The red columns are located under the green bars in the diagram and correspond to the lost links. Negative values are provided on the vertical axis.

When you hover over the graph, the selected column is highlighted and a tooltip appears with the selected date and the number of new and lost links.

When you hover over a country highlighted in blue, you can see a tooltip with the number of referring domains from this country and the percentage of these domains to all domains that refer to the analyzed site.

The larger the percentage of referring domains, the brighter the highlight of the corresponding country on the map. A legend is displayed under the map, which shows how much of the referring domains the highlight corresponds to.

The distribution table of referring domains consists of two parts:

The map has a search for matching parts of the word: when entering text, the table immediately filters the results, leaving only those that contain the entered text in any part of the word.

The first line after the search shows the total reflection of the table data: the number of countries that link to the analyzed site or the number of unique top-level domain zones.

The report is presented in table form. It contains a list of links from malicious sites. We use a verification algorithm similar to the algorithms of Google Chrome.
Malicious sites are those blocked from viewing by Google Chrome (you see a warning if the content that you're trying to see is dangerous or deceptive).

If there are no such links, you will see a notification No data available.

You can determine whether the analyzed site has outbound links leading to malicious domains and pages in the same report.

Linking to malicious sites can negatively impact site optimization, which subsequently affects your rankings. Such sites should be promptly eliminated.

For analysis, go to the Malicious sites report and select "Malicious domains-acceptors" or "Malicious pages-acceptors", this switch will help you quickly navigate between reports to analyze referring and outgoing malicious domains and pages.

The table is sorted by the number of referring domains in descending order by default.

In the header of the table there is a filter by the number of words and search by anchor. The filter is made in the form of a drop-down list; it allows you to view a list of 1-5 words in the anchor. The number of words is determined by the presence and number of spaces.

Top Pages report contains a table with a list of pages of the analyzed site sorted in descending order, in accordance with the number of domains referring to them.

The Links intersection report contains two comparison tables and a graph. The overlap of donors allows us to find common donor domains among the entered two or three analyzed sites. Using filters, you can see donors that one of the analyzed sites does not have, but the other two have.

A pie chart allows you to select the data of interest quickly. For example, you can choose donors that are the same for any two domains or common donors for all three domains, or you can analyze donors from your competitors who do not link to your site.

The areas on the chart are clickable. You can select the information of interest, and it will be displayed in the tables.

The graph shows the referring domains of the sites using Euler circles.

The smaller table (to the right of the circle graph) provides a quick reference for domains: the specific number of referring domains for each analyzed site.

The table below shows a more detailed analysis of each donor domain:

• A donor is a domain address that links to the analyzed site;
• Donor's SDR (Serpstat Domain Rank) is an indicator of domain authority. It is displayed as a number from 0 to 100;
• The number of links from the specified donor domain to the analyzed domains.

How is this report useful? First of all, we can take 3 competing sites and check what general domains link to them. Accordingly, these same domains can link to our site.
We can also compare our site and 2 competitor sites to see which domains link to our competitors but not link to us.
