I've built a new thing that does a thing. This one keeps the health of your outbound link profile in check. I've found very prominent people that were (unintentially linking to stuff they rather wouldn't) linksignals.cloud

linksignals.cloudLink Signals | Audit every outbound link on your siteLink Signals crawls your sitemap, checks every outbound link and flags injected spam, hidden links and taken-over domains, with the evidence for each finding.

Interesting. Feedback you might find useful: "Start with 4 links that don't belong on their pages (the usual sign of injected spam)." These are clients that are linked from logos/case studies so will be unlikely to be related to our offerings. I'm not sure how you could filter that one?

Interesting, it is a tricky one to indentify those kind of URL patterns, it is something i've also seen in review widgets and the like on other sites i've scanned where i had to dig in manually. There is probably a thousand variations of these links being added so no easy pattern recognition.

What i can build into it though is a way to mark that link as "Known and wanted" after a scan, then a rescan will skip them. That way monitored sites will pick up new ones for review without discounting all it finds. Great feedback though cheers.
