Link Profile

Entry #292 / 700 · Chapter 6 · 6.2 How authority flows and how it is measured · Read in Chinese →
In one sentence

The complete shape of everything linking to you: how many links, from how many domains, with what anchor mix, from which kinds of sites, arriving at what pace.

Analogy Mental model

Your social circle seen as a whole. Who your friends are, what they do, and how they talk about you adds up to a public reputation nobody can edit directly.

In practice What you actually do

Review the overview in Ahrefs or Semrush once a quarter and read five dimensions together: total links, referring domains, authority distribution, anchor distribution, and the follow-to-nofollow split. Strength on one axis with emptiness on the others is a warning rather than a win.

Where people get burned Pitfalls

Manufactured profiles give themselves away consistently: one anchor dominates, every source is the same kind of site, and acquisition spikes and collapses instead of trending.
