Audit target-domain links, nofollow, ugc, sponsored and noindex signals. - **URL**: https://apify.com/tugelbay/store-link-auditor.md - **Developed by:** [Tugelbay Konabayev](https://apify.com/tugelbay) (community) - **Categories:** SEO tools, Developer tools - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Store Link Auditor & Dofollow Checker API ![Store Link Auditor hero](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/bplRdpnd85eGQkW1N/records/store-link-auditor-hero.png) ![Store Link Auditor input and output](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/bplRdpnd85eGQkW1N/records/store-link-auditor-input-output.png) ![Store Link Auditor dataset preview](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/bplRdpnd85eGQkW1N/records/store-link-auditor-dataset-preview.png) Audit store, marketplace, directory and profile pages for target-domain links. The actor checks whether a page links to your domain and flags the signals that usually weaken backlink value: `nofollow`, `ugc`, `sponsored`, and page-level `noindex`. Use it when you submit products to directories, launch tools on marketplaces, monitor partner pages, or build a repeatable backlink evidence report instead of checking HTML by hand. ### What you get - Final URL and HTTP status after redirects - Page title and robots meta content - Whether the page has `noindex` - All matching links to your target domains - `rel` values for each matching link - A clean follow-like verdict when a matching link has no `nofollow`, `ugc`, or `sponsored` - A weakened verdict when the page/link is present but likely discounted ### Input | Field | Type | Description | | -------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | `startUrls` | Array | Store, directory, marketplace or profile pages to audit | | `targetDomains` | Array | Domains you expect those pages to link to | | `maxItems` | Integer | Maximum pages to audit | | `requestTimeoutSecs` | Integer | Per-page request timeout | ### Example input ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://konabayev.com/" }], "targetDomains": ["konabayev.com"], "maxItems": 20, "requestTimeoutSecs": 30 } ```` ### Example output ```json { "url": "https://konabayev.com/", "finalUrl": "https://konabayev.com/", "statusCode": 200, "targetDomains": ["konabayev.com"], "checkedAt": "2026-04-30T04:00:00+00:00", "pageTitle": "Tugelbay Konabayev", "robots": null, "noindex": false, "matchingLinks": [ { "href": "https://konabayev.com/tools/", "text": "Tools", "rel": "", "domain": "konabayev.com", "followLike": true, "riskRel": [] } ], "matchingLinkCount": 1, "cleanFollowLinkFound": true, "verdict": "follow-like-found" } ``` ### Verdicts | Verdict | Meaning | | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `follow-like-found` | A matching link exists, the page is indexable, and rel is clean | | `target-link-present-but-weakened` | A matching link exists but rel contains `nofollow`, `ugc`, or `sponsored` | | `target-link-present-but-page-noindex` | A matching clean link exists, but the page has a `noindex` signal | | `target-link-missing` | No matching link to the target domain was found | | `timeout` | The page did not respond before the timeout | | `http-error` | The request failed before HTML could be analyzed | ### Notes This actor reports HTML evidence. It does not guarantee ranking impact. Search engines can discount links for many reasons even when the link is technically follow-like. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Store, directory, marketplace, profile or listing pages to inspect. ## `targetDomains` (type: `array`): Domains you expect those pages to link to. Use bare domains such as example.com. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of pages to audit. Set 0 for unlimited. ## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`): Timeout per page in seconds. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://konabayev.com/" } ], "targetDomains": [ "konabayev.com" ], "maxItems": 20, "requestTimeoutSecs": 30 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://konabayev.com/" } ], "targetDomains": [ "konabayev.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("tugelbay/store-link-auditor").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
