Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Linktrade: Backlink Monitor & Reciprocal Link Checker
Every link is checked when you add it and whenever you change one of its addresses. After that all links are checked once a week, a few at a time. You can also check a single link at any moment with the "Check now" button.
Yes. After each weekly check you get one email that lists every change: links that were removed, turned nofollow or sponsored, pages that went noindex, your own links that are missing, and links that came back. If nothing changed, no email is sent, unless you switch on the weekly summary in the settings.
The page could not be read: it blocks automated requests, answered with a server error or did not answer in time. That says nothing about your link, so the last readable result stays in place. Open the page in your browser to see for yourself. The automatic check does not seem to run. WordPress runs scheduled tasks only when somebody visits the site. On a site with very few visitors, set up a real cron job that calls wp-cron.php. The dashboard and Tools > Site Health tell you when the check is not scheduled or overdue.
The Fairness Score shows if both sides of a link exchange are holding up their end: 100%: Both links are online and healthy 70%: Their link is there, but on a page marked noindex 60%: Your link is dofollow, partner's is nofollow 50%: Both links are offline 25%: Your link to them is gone, their link to you is still online 0%: Your link is online, but partner removed theirs
In your own WordPress database. Partners, agreements, prices, notes and the history of every check are kept there and nowhere else. There is no account, no API key and no third-party service.
Only the checks themselves. To check a link, your server requests the partner page you entered (and, for exchanges, your own page), the same way a browser would. The notification email is sent through your site's own mail setup to the address you set. Nothing else is sent anywhere, and nothing is sent to 3task.
Deactivating keeps everything. Deleting the plugin removes its tables and settings, unless Linktrade Monitor Pro is still installed, which uses the same tables. Export a CSV first if you want to keep the list.
Yes. Linktrade Monitor detects nofollow, sponsored and ugc on the link and noindex or nofollow on the page, marks such links with a warning and includes the change in the email.
Exchange: You link to them, they link to you (tracked with Fairness Score) Paid: You pay for the backlink (tracked with expiration reminders) Free: Guest posts, mentions, directories (no reciprocal tracking needed)
Yes. Linktrade Monitor works alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, and any other SEO plugin.
