Ranccoon is a comprehensive and free Domain Rating (DR) tracking tool designed for website owners, SEO professionals, and indie makers. It simplifies the often-complex task of monitoring website authority and backlink health, ensuring users stay informed about their SEO performance without constant manual checks.
The core functionality of Ranccoon revolves around five key features:
- Daily DR Tracking: Ranccoon automatically monitors your website's Domain Rating every day. Users can view historical data through intuitive charts, set specific DR goals, and receive timely alerts when their DR changes. This eliminates the need for manual checking, allowing users to focus on other aspects of their business.
- DR Boosting: To help users improve their Domain Rating, Ranccoon provides access to a curated list of launch platforms. By submitting their websites to these platforms, users can acquire valuable backlinks and accelerate their DR growth. The platform aims to guide users to the most impactful sites for maximum SEO benefit.
- Certified DR Badge: Ranccoon offers a verified DR badge that users can embed directly onto their websites. This badge automatically updates daily, showcasing the site's current Domain Rating and building trust with visitors, potential partners, and clients. Multiple badge styles are available for customization.
- Activity Heatmap: Similar to GitHub's contribution graph, Ranccoon visualizes DR changes over time through an activity heatmap. This feature provides a quick, at-a-glance overview of a website's DR progression, making it easy to identify trends and periods of significant growth or decline.
- Backlink Guardian: A standout feature, the Backlink Guardian actively monitors all backlinks added by the user. It checks daily for critical changes such as silent link removals, alterations from dofollow to nofollow, modifications to anchor text, or redirects to different URLs. Instant email alerts are sent when any suspicious activity is detected, allowing users to address issues with partners before their DR is negatively impacted. This proactive monitoring ensures that hard-earned backlinks retain their value and integrity.
Ranccoon addresses the common problem of backlink decay, where exchanged or paid-for backlinks are silently removed or altered, leading to unexpected drops in DR. By providing detailed per-domain tracking, change detection, and instant notifications, Ranccoon empowers users to maintain the quality and quantity of their backlink profile.
Built by an indie maker for the indie maker community, Ranccoon emphasizes a user-friendly experience without the complexity often found in enterprise-level SEO tools. It's designed to be fast, reliable, and accessible, offering an indie-friendly pricing model.
The tool is perfect for anyone serious about SEO, from individual website owners to small businesses and SEO professionals, who want to ensure their domain authority is consistently monitored and protected.
