Referring domains
Review the domains behind a backlink profile and investigate link-quality patterns.
Referring Domains groups backlinks by the website that sends them. Enter a domain and select Search to review its sources, ordered by authority. This view is useful when you want to understand whether a link pattern comes from one publisher, a network of similar sites, a partner, or a broader range of relevant sources.
The summary reports referring domains, main domains, backlinks, and domain rank. Each row includes authority, backlink count, referring-page count, nofollow links, spam signal, broken links, first-seen date, and current status. Export CSV or Excel when you need to investigate a set outside Screpy.
Review quality in context
Open a domain before judging it. Look at the topic, the pages that link to you, the destination pages on your site, and whether the relationship makes sense to a real visitor. A domain can be unfamiliar and still be legitimate; a familiar-looking metric alone is not enough evidence of quality.
Use filters to investigate patterns, not to manufacture a universal “good” threshold. For example, a sudden set of links from unrelated domains may deserve a closer look, while multiple links from a partner or publication may be expected.
For the project’s own domain, row selection enables Disavow selected domains. Use this only after a manual review: the action adds all backlinks from those domains to the project’s cleanup list.
Find opportunities without chasing every site
Identify pages that already attract relevant references and ask why: original data, a useful tool, a clear explanation, or a page that solves a recurring problem. Use that insight to improve related content. Do not send broad link requests simply because a domain appears in the list; the best follow-up is usually creating something that is genuinely useful to that audience.
Common questions
Is one referring domain better than many backlinks from the same site?
They answer different questions. Multiple links from a relevant site can be natural, but a diverse set of relevant sources often shows that different audiences find the content useful.
Should I remove every suspicious-looking domain?
No. Investigate first. A disavow file is a narrow action for a clear problem, not routine backlink cleanup.
