Use Reports (/reports) to judge the quality of the backlinks you already monitor — not to discover new ones.
Ples Reports showing link health percentage, average LQS, and quality metrics
  • Link health is the percentage of links that are live dofollow. A drop usually means more nofollow, not found, or error rows — open Link issues to act.
  • Avg. LQS is the mean Link Quality Score for links that have a score. Waiting or unscored rows are excluded from the average.

​
Authority distribution

Quality Metrics shows average Domain Authority (DA), Page Authority (PA), and Domain Rating (DR), plus how those scores are distributed. Expand a metric to see how many links sit in each band. High averages with a long tail of weak domains often means a few strong placements are carrying the rest of the list.

​
Indexing

For links Ples found (dofollow or nofollow), Reports splits Indexed, Not indexed, and Unknown. Error and not-found rows are left out of that percentage. See Google indexing.

​
Tag performance

If you use tags, Reports compares groups by average LQS, dofollow rate, and issues. Use this to see which campaigns are holding up.

​
Disavow candidates

Reports flags links with high spam score or weak LQS that are not already disavowed. Review them before you add anything to the disavow list.

​
Use the filter panel

Narrow the page to one domain, a status, a tag, a contact, disavow state, or text vs image anchors. Click a metric to jump into the matching Links or Issues view with those filters applied.
Filter to a single domain before you brief a client. For example, David can show only example.com instead of the whole account.
