Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Link Type Classifier?

The Link Type Classifier is a free tool from Editorial.Link designed for link builders, webmasters, and anyone working with link-building services. It helps you figure out if a website is selling links or not. 

When the tool flags a site as selling links, it gets added to a database of over 100,000 domains, helping you quickly assess the quality and reliability of your link-building strategy.

How do I use the Link Type Classifier?

It’s super simple to use:

  1. Make a list of the domains you want to check.
  2. Paste those domains into the input field on the tool’s page.
  3. Enter your email address so we can send you the results.
  1. Click “Check My Links Now.”

That’s it! You’ll get a detailed report showing which domains are flagged for selling links. 

Want to keep a copy for later? You can download the results as an Excel file right from the page.

What do “Type” and “Reason” mean?

When you check a domain, the tool gives you two key pieces of info:

  • Type: Shows the status of the domain in our database.
  • Reason: Explains why the domain was flagged a certain way.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the statuses:

  • Sells Links Directly: The domain is in our database and has been flagged as selling links, either directly or through third parties.
  • Local/Niche News Media: The domain is listed in our database but hasn’t been flagged as selling links.
  • Not Found in Database: The domain isn’t in our database yet, meaning we haven’t identified it as selling links so far.

Why should I use the Link Type Classifier?

Because it’s:

  • Free: No strings attached.
  • User-friendly: No complicated steps or jargon.
  • Reliable: Backed by a database of over 100,000 domains that keeps growing.

This tool helps streamline your research and make informed choices, no matter your level of experience with link building.

Note: Our database is updated regularly, but it’s not exhaustive. Some sites might not be listed yet, so think of the results as a helpful guideline, not the final word.
