How do I find http backlinks to my domain?
-
Hi,
We spotted a number of sites linking to us from http sites, not https sites. How can I use backlink tools to find just those from http sites?
Right now I'm looking at exporting a spreadsheet with 3.3 million entries and filtering - and there's not one person here who wants to do that!
Thanks in advance.

You can use Moz SEO tools, to see how may backlinks yoru business has. We don’t this for our SEO agency Cardiff, it helped get our business high on page one of Google, as we built quality links.

@mark_seomoz1 If i understand you want to see who is linking to you and if HTTP vs htts? don't forget you can use Search engine console too! Wouldnt a sort in e.g. Google sheets work for this? just sort via HTTP then split via text to collum to get domains and de-dupe and it will roughly show you domains doing that in a few min.
Unless you are chasing some hypostasis as long as your site is https it really isn't much to worry about nor much you can do.

Hi webmaster,
When exporting links from Moz Link Explorer, they come without http part.
You can try using tools like http response header checker.
-
https://httpstatus.io/ - can check 100 URLs at a time. Very fast
-
https://www.bulkseotools.com/bulk-http-header-code-checker.php - 500 at a time. A bit slow
-
Screaming frog - you should know how to use this tool.
PROCESS
You will need Google Sheets for it.

Export Linking Domains from MOZ
-
Add "http://" to every domain
-
CONCATENATE strings A and B = Write this formula in C column "=a2&b2"
-
Crawl the http URLs
5. Check which URLS contain 200 status codes, filter out REDIRECTED URLS containing https. Here they are http domain backlinks. This is how I would solve your task.
I hope it helps. If you have questions, you are welcome.

Changed URL from HTTP to HTTPS - 99% of my backlinks don't know though
Hi Moz community, I've got a question about all old backlinks pointing to the http version of my site: Firstly, how it impacts my site's backlinks for SEO and secondly, why does Moz and if you know why Majestic have different metric report values for the different URLs. The Back Story Two months ago I bought an SSL for my personal domain and changed my URL from http to the https version. I 301'd it and can verify that on Majestic SEO using the old http URL. I did this sitewide for an eCommerce site that I'm working and did see a lift in traffic; that was the main reason based on Google talking about sites moving to the SSL Web. I'm No Stranger to 301s Of course all the URLs on my site have been 301'd. I used a HTTPS Redirect plugin for my WordPress site and there's been no issue. I also installed a 404 Checker plugin to log broken external links to my site where I can create a redirect right away in case the HTTPS plugin missed something along the way. I'm comfortable knowing that doing when you change the domain name for a site or just a page going from one URL to another will transfer all the link equity over time. What's Causing the Confusion What's a little confusing is that when I use tools like OSE or Majestic's Explorer, the data doesn't match. For instance in OSE, the https version of my domain has a DA of 1 and PA of 1. But, the http version of my site has a DA of 25 and PA of 36. With Majestic (BTW, please feel free to stop me from asking questions about another tool on Moz, but since we're all part of the same SEO community, I thought I'd ask it here anyway) the Trust and Citation flow values are definitely closely matched but still different values nonetheless. My Question Will I ever see the DA and PA the same for the https & http versions in the future? Does OSE catch the fact that there is a 301 redirect to the https version or does it only recognize that it redirects from http://kingrosales.com to http://www.kingrosales.com when in fact it redirects to https://www.kingrosales.com? My second question is, what about the backlinks? Is it because they are different URLs that OSE doesn't have a way to recognize this and display links from the old http version to the new https version? How will I know the true PA and DA of the https version of my site even with a perfectly executed 301 redirect? lol Let me know if you need more clarification. Thanks
