UI surface
Open …/backlinks/ips-subnets. Use this view to spot concentration of referring domains on shared IPs or subnets — a common signal for suspicious or network-managed link patterns.
Metrics and columns
- IP / subnet — Network address or subnet bucket for referring hosts.
- Concentration metrics — Counts of referring domains, backlinks, and related density measures shown for that IP/subnet (as listed on the live table).
- Quality / toxicity helpers — When shown, trust or toxicity aggregates for links originating from the same network neighborhood.
Interpret high concentration with care: CDNs and shared hosts can be legitimate; combine with toxicity and anchor patterns.
