Link Detox

Link Detox is a specialized tool designed to assess backlink risk and identify potentially harmful links. It is commonly used during penalty recovery and risk mitigation workflows.

What Link Detox Is Designed For

• Identifying toxic or unnatural links
• Assessing link risk profiles
• Supporting manual review processes
• Preparing disavow files when necessary

It focuses on risk evaluation, not link discovery.

How Link Detox Is Used in Practice

Professionals use Link Detox to:

• Flag suspicious link patterns
• Prioritize manual backlink review
• Reduce algorithmic or manual penalty risk

Decisions should never be fully automated.

Important Caveats

• “Toxic” labels are risk indicators, not verdicts
• Over-disavowing can harm legitimate authority
• Manual judgment is essential

Link Detox supports decisions—it does not replace expertise.

When Link Detox Makes Sense

• Sites with historical link building issues
• Post-penalty analysis
• Large-scale backlink audits
