CheckBacklink

CheckBacklink(string pageUrl, string expectedLinkHref, [string expectedLinkText], [bool checkNofollow]) : string

Verifies that a backlink is present on a page with the correct link text and that there’s no rel=nofollow.

This is a very useful function when validating that links you have “acquired” are still present.

Example:
=CheckBacklink(“http://linkdirectory.com/subpage”,”http://mypage.com/”,”An awesome page”,FALSE)

In the example we verify that there’s a link to “http://mypage.com” on “http://linkdirectory.com/subpage” with the anchorText “An awesome page” and that this link is not rel=nofollow.

Both expectedLinkHref and expectedLinkText supports wildcards.

Example:=CheckBacklink(“http://nielsbosma.se”, “http://*.uservoice.com”,”Suggestion*”,TRUE)

    Hi,

    Is it possible to check a domain instead an url?

    i test something like this :
    “=CheckBacklink(“http://linkdirectory.com/subpage”,”http://mypage.com/*”,”An awesome page”,FALSE)

    but this doesn’t work.

    Thank you and congrats for your amazing tool.
