Save your site from the sharp teeth of negative SEO, manual penalties and low-quality backlinks...
But MediaSkyscraper, why are link audits so important for SEO?
If you aren’t getting high DA, high REL, high traffic links then your website is asking to be penalised by Google…
We make sure only the above type of links are left pointing to your website and will remove all the other dangerous links destroying your rankings.
We continually highlight the importance of high DA, high traffic, relevant backlinks, because this is the most important part of successful SEO, and is something that has become essential since the Penguin update in 2012 and the Page Rank patent update last year if you wish for your site to not get binned by Google (see our Google Updates Guide here).


Obtaining links is only half of the job….
As Google places such heavy weighting on obtaining these links to rank well then it is obvious that you need to be vetting all links pointing to your site and removing those links that paint a less than savoury image of your site to Google and its users.
Unfortunately, you can be doing great SEO in terms of bringing in new backlinks, and creating great content that fulfils users search intent. But, if you have low quality, spammy backlinks pointing to your site, then you will be throwing most of your hard work and money that you’ve invested, straight down the drain.
Why are low-quality backlinks pointing to my site and limiting my rankings?
1. Negative SEO: a site has deliberately pointed low quality, spammy links to your site in order to push you down the rankings?
2. Low-quality sites have seen your awesome content and used you as a resource, but are now costing you resources?
3. You’ve built low quality, easy to obtain links yourself that worked prior to a Google algorithm update but are now costing you money?
4. You’ve paid for cheap link building that used to rank you but no longer is effective?

Get us to remove the backlinks plaguing your sites rankings!
Having a clean backlink profile is one of the cornerstones of successful SEO, and without it, there is no foundation to build a high traffic, high DA, high-quality site.
Building expensive, high-quality links on a site with a bad backlink profile is akin to building a house on sand…
It will crumble and fall.
And with it, wasted all the hours and thousands of pounds spent ranking your site.
We all know that the most important thing for any site is to get as close to the top of Google as possible because….
More traffic = more money-making ability.
What makes our Link Audit service so different?
We offer a manual link audit service at MediaSkyscraper (yes, completely manual) which we believe is the only type of link auditing service that should be used on a backlink profile. There are many automated audits available on the internet, but they use poor blanket judgements and will often disavow useful links, whilst missing unnatural links entirely.
A computer does not own a credit card and purchase products from a site, nor does not consume, process information, and apply context like a human does! If you really want an in-depth, granular audit of your site there is only really one option: Our Link Audit.
Not only do we go through all your links with a fine tooth and comb (unlike an automated audit), we also always attempt to email webmasters first to get the unnatural link removed before using a disavow file because;
1. Having the low-quality site entirely removed looks better on a backlink profile than a root domain just disavowed.
2. There is room for error with disavow files, oftentimes the character set text does not convert properly, meaning files are not properly disavowed.
3. It doesn’t stop your link getting replicated by other unwanted sites, as it is not removing the link from the original low-quality site, that can then have articles copied and new bad links generated.
You really do “get what you pay for" when it comes to link auditing, as it takes a lot of time, knowledge, and skill to fully audit a site correctly, making sure to remove all of the disease-ridden links and keep only medium and high-quality links.

FAQ
-
TAT can be up to 30 days.
Of course, this depends on the amount of backlinks you have pointing to your site. The smaller the site, the quicker your audit should take (much less than 30 days).
We will notify you once we receive your site URL if we think the process may take longer than 30 days (very unlikely).
Please make sure you have read the “HOW IT WORKS" section above this “FAQ" section to see how our exact process works, and what files and emails you can expect from us during the fulfilment of your order.
Any time we update your order you will receive a notification via email and via your order/s located within your Client Dashboard.

No.
Everything we do is 100% manual as this is the ONLY accurate way of ensuring your site is rid of any bad backlinks (that can easily fool automated algorithms) without risking removing brilliant backlinks that are helping your site rank currently.
You get what you pay for in SEO and you aren’t paying for inaccurate, automated tools (that can easily be fooled) when you buy with us!
You are paying for humans to manually inspect your links, just as Google Search Quality Raters who inspect your site would be. You may be shocked at what we deem to be medium or low-quality links in your final spreadsheet, but we have very high standards as do the Google Search Quality Raters.

Yes.
Part of our link audit service can include creating a reconsider request file for you to submit in your Google Search Console if you have received a manual penalty by Google. This file will show evidence of the sites that have been manually removed and those that need to be disavowed because webmasters have not removed the link from their sites when requested via email outreach.
Remember that these reconsider requests are only necessary if you have been given a manual penalty by Google, which would be located in your Google Search Console.
If you have not received a manual penalty you simply upload the disavow file like other websites do.
