Link Monitoring Codes and Errors

Here's a guide on the various codes that can be seen when you monitor a link:


  • Not Linking: there is no link from this page to the domain you are monitoring. 
  • Follow (#) : this is how many links are marked as active follow links. This can include image links as well!
  • No Follow: this is how many links are marked as no follow.
  • Error 301: this means that there is a page redirect when someone clicks on this link. 
  • Error 404: this means the page cannot be found, thus there is no active link. The typical trigger for Error 404 is when a website or its content has been removed or moved to another URL.
  • 200: this means that your link is active. 


While in Link Monitoring, you can find these definitions by hovering over "Linking URL Status."
