Track New and Lost Referring Domains

Reads a column of domains from a Google Sheet and pulls, in one DataForSEO call, how many referring domains each of them gained and lost - counted both per domain and per main domain - stamped with the date.

How it works

  1. Run — an Inject trigger; run it on demand, or give it a repeat interval.
  2. Get Targets / Collect Targets — the Target column becomes one array of up to 1000 entries.
  3. Get New and Lost Referring Domains — Account.RawRequest posts to /backlinks/bulk_new_lost_referring_domains/live.
  4. Merge Results Into Rows — writes the four count columns and Date onto the matching row.
  5. Write Results Back — one SetRange from A1.

Referring domains move slower than raw backlink counts, which makes them the better signal that a link-building campaign is actually landing.

Setup

  • DataForSEO credential — API login and password from https://app.dataforseo.com/api-access.
  • Google credential — Service Account or OAuth2 with access to the spreadsheet.
  • A sheet with a Target column; the count columns are filled in by the flow.

Package note

Bulk New/Lost Referring Domains has no dedicated node in Robomotion.DataForSEO 1.0.0, so the call goes through Raw Request.
