The site crawl to determine if there is important content which Google determines you have ignored in your internal linking. GSC Section Links to Your Site Link data is always one of the most soughtafter metrics in our industry and rightly so. External links continue to be the strongest predictive factor for rankings and Google has admitted as much time and time again. So how does GSCs link data measure up In this analysis we compared the links presented to us by GSC to those presented by Ahrefs Majestic and Moz for whether those links are still live.
To be fair to GSC which provides only a sampling of links we only used Europe Cell Phone Number List sites that had fewer than total backlinks increasing the likelihood that we get a full picture or at least close to it from GSC. The results are startling. GSCs lists both sample links and latest links were the lowestperforming in terms of live links for every site we tested never once beating out Moz Majestic or Ahrefs. I do want to be clear and upfront about Mozs performance in this particular test. Because Moz has a smaller total index it is likely we only surface higherquality longlasting links. Our outperforming Majestic and.
Ahrefs by just a couple of percentage points is likely a side effect of index size and not reflective of a substantial difference. However the several percentage points which separate GSC from all link indexes cannot be ignored. In terms of external validity that is to say how well this data reflects what is actually happening on the web GSC is outperformed by thirdparty indexes. GSC give us a fresh look at Googles actual backlink index It does appear that the two are consistent insofar as rarely reporting links that Google is already aware are no longer in the index. We randomly selected hundreds of URLs which were no longer.
