Add-on

Check a domain before you buy it

One report reads a domain's backlinks, anchor texts, link history, spam signals, search traffic, Google index status and archived past — then tells you whether it looks clean, needs care or is high risk, with every reason shown.

What it is

An aged domain is bought for its past: the sites that link to it and the trust search engines have in it. That past can also be a liability — links bought from spam networks, years as a casino or pharmacy site, a penalty that took it out of Google. None of it shows on the domain's current home page.

Domain vetting reads that history for you before you spend money on a domain or build a site on it. It scores what it finds out of 100, gives a verdict, and shows the evidence behind every point it took off.

What a report reads

Ten checks, each one shown to you, none of them a black box.

Its link profile

Referring domains, backlinks, how many networks they sit on and the spam score of the links pointing at it.

Its anchor texts

Whether the words other sites link with look natural, or like casino, pharmacy and loan spam — or a script it never used before.

Its link history

Referring domains month by month since 2019, so a collapse or a sudden burst of bought links stands out.

Its rankings and traffic

What it still ranks for, what it has lost, and its estimated search traffic over the last two years, in the market you choose.

Its Google index status

Whether Google lists it at all. Many links and no index is the classic sign of a penalised domain.

Its archived past

What its home page was over the years, read from the public web archive — and whether it was parked, redirected or changed language.

How it works

  1. Enter a domain

    Paste a domain or a web address and choose the market its rankings are read for.

  2. We read its history

    The ten checks run together. Most reports are ready in under a minute.

  3. Read the verdict

    A score out of 100, a verdict and the reasons behind it, worst first, with the evidence underneath.

What it costs

Buy report credits once: one report, ten or fifty. One report uses one credit, and credits never expire. The bigger packs cost less per report.

Questions

What happens if part of a report cannot be read?

The report says which part is missing and leaves it out of the score — it is never counted as clean. If nothing at all can be read, your credit is returned.

Is the score a guarantee?

No. It is a reading of the domain's public history, with every reason shown, so you can judge it for what you want to build.

Do I have to own the domain?

No. Vetting is for domains you are thinking of buying — at auction, from a marketplace or from a seller.

Do credits expire?

No. A credit stays on your account until you use it.

Which markets can I choose?

Twenty, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Brazil.
