Tracking your backlinks

How Serpfeed keeps an eye on your backlink profile and tells you when links are gained, lost, or at risk.

SWritten by Serpfeed SupportUpdated July 10, 2026

Winning a link is only half the job. Links come and go: a page gets redesigned, a site changes hands, an editor prunes an old post. Serpfeed keeps an eye on your backlink profile so you know the moment something changes, instead of finding out months later when your rankings slip.

Live backlinks with health flags

Capture: The Linkbuilding view filtered to live backlinks, with a Spam column and health flags (toxic, nofollow, broken) on some rows. Light mode, crop to 16:9.

What Serpfeed watches

Every link you win is tracked as a live backlink. A daily check keeps each one current, so gains and losses show up on their own. Links that go live count toward your Backlinks Won; links that disappear or weaken are flagged so they don't quietly slip away.

Backlink health

Alongside gained and lost, Serpfeed flags the health of each live link. Three things put a link at risk:

  • Toxic source: the linking domain has become spammy or risky.
  • Nofollow: the link no longer passes authority to your site.
  • Broken: the linking page or the link itself is broken.

Acting on at-risk links

At-risk links are collected so you can deal with them in one place. A link that broke may just need a friendly note to the site owner. A link that turned toxic is a candidate for disavow. The point is to catch these while you can still do something about them.

Where to look

Your live backlinks and their health flags live in the Linkbuilding view, and your won links roll up into Results. The Spam column and health flags tell you at a glance which links deserve a second look.
