The Power of On-Demand Crawling to Check Backlinks

Fresh, timely backlink data is crucial for effective performance tracking and decision-making. The Majestic URL Submitter allows SEO professionals to take control of their backlink research process. With URL Submitter, SEOs can request specific URL crawls to accelerate the monitoring, discovering, and analysis of crucial backlink data.

From Manual Indexing to Strategic Submission

The concept of URL submission has evolved significantly since the early days of the internet. Initially, URL submitters served as simple gateways between website owners and search engine databases, allowing manual notification of a website's existence. While modern search engines have moved away from relying on manual submissions to autonomous discovery systems, Majestic's URL Submitter serves a different, more strategic purpose to check backlinks. This functionality is ideal to accelerate the analysis of a backlink profile, providing an interactive, customised backlink checker tool for SEO professionals.

The URL Submitter can help Transform your Backlink Strategy

URL Submitter addresses one of the most significant challenges in backlink analysis: timely data acquisition. When you secure a valuable new backlink or need to check backlinks from different sources, waiting for standard crawling cycles can delay reporting and strategic adjustments. The URL Submitter eliminates this bottleneck by allowing you to:

  • Access backlink data in hours, not days: When you submit URLs through this tool, Majestic prioritises crawling those pages, reducing the time between link discovery and detailed backlink analysis.
  • Consolidate backlink data from multiple sources: If you're seeing different links reported by various backlink checker tools, you can submit all of them to Majestic in one centralised location.
  • Accelerate client reporting: For agencies and consultants, the ability to quickly verify and report on newly acquired backlinks enhances client communication, demonstrating value more efficiently.
  • Enhance Flow Metrics reporting: Submitting URLs that you think are important will help reporting Trust Flow and Citation Flow, improving the quality of data in backlink analyses.
  • Monitor backlink performance over time: URL Submitter facilitates more responsive backlink monitoring by allowing analysts to quickly incorporate new links into any backlink checker reporting system

How the URL Submitter Works

Accessing and using the URL Submitter is straightforward, making it an accessible tool for SEO professionals at all levels:

  1. Access the tool: Find the Submit URLs in the left hand navigation menu.
  2. Submit URLs: There are two convenient options for submission:
    • Directly paste up to 400 URLs into the text box (one URL per line)
    • Upload a file for larger submissions (CSV format recommended for clean data transfer)
  3. Monitor usage: Accounts can submit up to 100 URLs daily at no cost. Beyond this allocation, each submission requires 50 Analysis Units per URL. Verified Domains can be submitted for free.
  4. Review results: Submitted URLs are typically crawled within hours, with data becoming available in the index by the following day.

We respect robots.txt directives and crawl-delay protocols, ensuring ethical crawling practices. While crawling isn't guaranteed for every submission, most properly formatted, accessible URLs will be processed promptly.

Strategic Applications for Backlink Checking and Link Building

The URL Submitter opens new possibilities for proactive link building strategies:

  • Link building validation: Immediately verify the quality and context of newly acquired backlinks rather than waiting for standard crawl cycles.
  • Competitive backlink research: When discovering competitor backlinks, submit them for analysis to understand their value and potential for your backlink opportunities.
  • Content marketing measurement: Submit URLs where your content has been mentioned or linked, to assess the impact on your backlink profile quickly.
  • Technical SEO troubleshooting: If backlinks aren't being properly recognised or valued, submit them to ensure they're correctly incorporated into your backlink report.
  • Backlink quality assessment: Accelerate the evaluation of new referring domains by submitting them for immediate analysis.

API Integration

The URL Submitter functionality is also available via API integration for enterprise users and agencies managing extensive backlink profiles. This allows for programmatic submission of URLs, enabling seamless incorporation into existing SEO workflows and tools. The API follows the same submission guidelines while offering the automation benefits essential for large-scale backlink reporting and analysis.

A Critical Tool to Expedite Backlink Profile Analysis

The URL Submitter is essential to the Majestic Backlink Checker Technology, putting more control in the hands of SEOs. By allowing users to prioritise specific URLs for crawling and analysis, it transforms backlink research from a passive waiting game into an active, strategic process.
