EditorialFinderAnalyse a backlink export

Backlink CSV analyzer

A backlink export, read properly.

Drop a SEMrush or Ahrefs export and every referring domain comes back categorised and scored — from that file alone, with the reasoning attached. No account, no card, no trial clock.

What it does with the file

  • Reads the columns for you, then asks

    The header row is detected and the columns mapped to roles automatically. You see twenty mapped rows and correct anything wrong before a single row is processed.

  • Judges the source, not the anchor

    The anchor in a backlink export describes the page being linked to, not the site doing the linking. Classifying a publisher by its anchors would label every site as whatever it links out to, so the source page titles carry the classification and anchors are used only where they mean something.

  • Shows the evidence, always

    Every score opens into the signals behind it, each with the points it added. If the reasoning looks wrong to you, you can see that it is wrong rather than guessing.

  • States every cap

    Any limit that actually applied to your run — rows read, files, pages kept per domain — is recorded and shown, on screen and in the workbook's summary sheet.

  • Parses on the server, in a stream

    A 200,000-row export would freeze a browser tab. Nothing is parsed in your browser; the file is read in a stream on the server.

  • Leaves your values alone

    What you uploaded is stored exactly as it was. Escaping happens at the export boundary so a spreadsheet cannot execute a cell, and never on the way in.

Questions

Which exports does it read?

SEMrush and Ahrefs backlink exports are detected from their column names. Other tools work too — you map the columns yourself and see twenty mapped rows before anything runs.

What does the score actually mean?

How strongly the data in your file points to that domain selling placements. Open any row and you see the signals that produced the number and what each one contributed. A number on its own is not worth acting on.

What happens with a messy export?

Headers three rows down, merged banner rows, a title and a URL crammed into one cell, UTF-16 from Ahrefs — these are read and cleaned, and you confirm the cleaning before the run starts.

What if the file is bigger than the limit?

The exact number of rows read is written into the result and shown on screen. Being quietly given part of an answer is worse than being told the answer is partial.

Can I get the result out?

A multi-sheet Excel workbook — a summary, the best opportunities, the red flags, contacts where one was found, and a sheet per category — or a CSV of exactly what you have filtered on screen.
