How do I find http backlinks to my domain?

[mark_seomoz1]

Hi,

We spotted a number of sites linking to us from http sites, not https sites. How can I use backlink tools to find just those from http sites?

Right now I'm looking at exporting a spreadsheet with 3.3 million entries and filtering - and there's not one person here who wants to do that!

Thanks in advance.

You can use Moz SEO tools, to see how may backlinks yoru business has. We don’t this for our SEO agency Cardiff, it helped get our business high on page one of Google, as we built quality links.

@mark_seomoz1 If i understand you want to see who is linking to you and if HTTP vs htts? don't forget you can use Search engine console too! Wouldnt a sort in e.g. Google sheets work for this? just sort via HTTP then split via text to collum to get domains and de-dupe and it will roughly show you domains doing that in a few min.

Unless you are chasing some hypostasis as long as your site is https it really isn't much to worry about nor much you can do.

Hi webmaster,

When exporting links from Moz Link Explorer, they come without http part.

You can try using tools like http response header checker.

1. https://httpstatus.io/ - can check 100 URLs at a time. Very fast

2. https://www.bulkseotools.com/bulk-http-header-code-checker.php - 500 at a time. A bit slow

3. Screaming frog - you should know how to use this tool.

PROCESS

You will need Google Sheets for it.

1. Export Linking Domains from MOZ

2. Add "http://" to every domain

3. CONCATENATE strings A and B = Write this formula in C column "=a2&b2"

4. Crawl the http URLs

5. Check which URLS contain 200 status codes, filter out REDIRECTED URLS containing https. Here they are http domain backlinks. This is how I would solve your task.

I hope it helps. If you have questions, you are welcome.
