How to Analyze Top Pages Report

In the realm of SEO, understanding the distribution of backlinks to your site’s pages, including your homepage, is essential. This guide will walk you through how to analyze the backlinks for the top pages on your domain using Insightgainer.

Assessing Backlinks to Domain and Homepage

All and Homepage Backlinks Donut Chart: This visual shows the proportion of backlinks to your entire domain versus those specifically targeting your homepage.

• A balanced distribution or a heavier weight towards the homepage is common since the homepage often serves as the entry point to your site.

All and Homepage Referring Domains Donut Chart: Similar to the backlinks chart, this chart breaks down the referring domains for your entire site and those linking just to the homepage.

• The number of referring domains to your homepage can be a strong indicator of your site’s brand recognition and authority.

Addressing Broken Pages

• Broken Pages Counter: Located beside the charts, this metric indicates the number of pages on your site that contain broken links.
• Broken links are harmful to your site’s user experience and SEO, making it vital to address and fix them.

Navigating the Top Pages List

Top Pages Table: Below the charts, you’ll find a table listing URLs from your domain that have been linked to, along with valuable metrics like Page Rank, Backlinks, Referring Domains, Referring IPs, and the date when the link was first visited.

• Use this table to identify which of your pages are most authoritative and ensure they provide great user experience and relevant content for your visitors.

1. URL: This column displays the specific URLs of your site’s pages that are being analyzed. It helps you identify exactly which pages are attracting backlinks.
2. Page Rank: Here, you’ll find the rank assigned to each page based on its importance and authority on the web. This is determined by the number and quality of backlinks among other factors.
3. Backlinks: The number in this column shows the total count of backlinks directed to each specific page. A higher number of backlinks could contribute positively to the page’s SEO performance.
4. Referring Domains: This column reveals the number of unique domains that have links pointing to each page. It’s an indicator of how many separate entities consider your content link-worthy.
5. Referring IPs: Referring IPs are the individual IP addresses from which the backlinks originate. This number can give you an idea of the backlink diversity and geographical spread.
6. First Visited: This date tells you when the tool first detected a backlink to the page. It can be useful for tracking the age of your backlinks and correlating link acquisition with your SEO activities.

Understanding each of these columns can help you gauge the strength and quality of your site’s backlink profile. This insight is valuable for strategic decisions related to content creation, link building, and overall, SEO optimization.
