SEO Backlink Monitor is a WordPress plugin that lets you track your Link Building campaign. Add your link and check if it is do follow or no follow (desktop and mobile user agent), live or not. It can auto-check all your links with wp-cron (you can select the frequency) and get a report to your email address, when a link changes its state. It is a modified/optimized version by Active Websight from the original Backlink Monitoring Manager (v0.1.3); special thanks to Syed Fakhar Abbas <3.
