What is Timeline?

Timeline is a label Linkdex use to describe the automated reprocessing of data and the subsequent calcualtions that allow us to compare new data with old data and highlight differences.

In the case of our Link Analysis Timelines, when turned on Linkdex are committing to repeating the process we first used to gather and profile links for a domain you have selected every 30 days or if the last analysis was done over 30 days ago, doing it immediately. When complete we allow you to filter link sources by what was newely discovered from the time of the last index.

This feature is useful for getting a picture of what your competitors have been up to each month and whether you’re working hard and smarter than them or whether you need to invest more in your link building activity.

Timeline is unique to Linkdex and can be turned on and off using the link in the top right of the link source search and filters panel. When on, a red ‘T’ will appear next to the domain URL in the left hand navigation.

Repeating indexes are charged for in the same way new data sources are charged for as we’re repeating the process with plus using additional processing to highlight changes.

Timeline is unique to Linkdex and is the only place you can get our link insights tracked over time.
