| Search Types & Page Crawling |
 |
Are sub-domains included in the crawl for banned links?
Yes. All of the web site search options include sub-domains as part of the partner link validation crawl.
|
Will XPELO search my entire website for banned links?
Yes, up to 5,000 pages with unlimited number of links per page.
|
Why are banned links bad for my website?
Straight from Google's website: "The term "cloaking" is used to describe a website that returns altered web pages to search engines crawling the site. In other words, the web server is programmed to return different content to Google than it returns to regular users, usually in an attempt to distort search engine rankings. This can mislead users about what they'll find when they click on a search result. To preserve the accuracy and quality of our search results, Google may permanently ban from our index any sites or site authors that engage in cloaking to distort their search rankings."
|
What do I do once I find banned links on my website?
Once you identify the pages that contact the banned links, we recommend using a WHOIS lookup in the domain registry to contact the link partner for further notice, followed by removing the link as needed.
|
What does the "Links on Page" feature do?
With more and more SEO agencies and webmasters trading links on a single page (ie. 'Resources' or 'Links') we have designed the ability to check a common standalone page target for instant single page validation.

| Banned Link Validation & Data Mining |
 |
What do the totals in the results mean?
After the search crawl is finished the results will show the total number of pages being scanned, total links found, and total link validated.
|
How are the search link totals calculated?
There is a custom algorithm that was created to generate all of the website search crawls at an efficient rate of speed. Each page is crawled individually for all of the links the page contains, along with their location, followed by link validation all in one place!
|
XPELO runs faster than any other SEO software, how is this possible?
Our custom software was designed to be the fastest SEO link partner location, identification and validation software available which processes search results using a co-platform environment. This means that with our servers and your download, you are able to search any website faster and more efficiently than ever before.
|
How long should my search crawl take?
Depending on the size of your website with how many pages your website contains, the average website crawl lasts about 60 seconds.
|
Is it possible to use XPELO for spying on my competitor's link partners?
Yes! In fact you can search any website your competition is using and see which websites they are linking to for achieving top search engine rankings.
|
 |
| Link Partner Location & Identification |
 |
Does XPELO show which page contains each link?
Yes. The search results displays the actual URL of the link partner that is being validated, and the exact page location of where the link partner is found. XPELO will batch all similar pages in a group to keep the search results consistent with their own group of files and folders so you can target link partners easily and quickly.
|
What does the status "Suspicious" mean in the API results?
The search result "Suspicious" means that XPELO has uncovered a link partner that has not been approved by Google's search results, but still has a Page Rank.
|
Can I save my search results?
We are working on the ability for all account downloads to login and see their history of searches.
|
How do I contact banned link partners?
You should do a WHOIS lookup using any domain registry (ie. Godaddy, Register.com, etc.) with information on your search results.
|
How can I ensure my site's Page Rank will never be affected by banned link partners?
In order to prevent any future banned links from linking to your website we offer the XPELO® Protect™ Partner Network Seal of Trust which monitors your website(s) daily for link partner protection unlike any other authentication service available.
