1. Getting Started (Estimated 60 hours)
Start with short content targeted at beginners. This will allow you to get the gist of what's going on with minimal time commitment.

Basics
There are several components involved in determining whether a link is “bad” and should potentially be removed. Ultimately, we want to be able to measure the risk of a link (how likely Google is to flag the link as manipulative and how much we rely on the link for value). Let me highlight three common factors used by SEOs to determine this score:
Trust Matrix:
There are a handful of metrics in our industry that are readily available to help us identify backlinks. The two that often come to mind are the Moz Spam Score and the Majestic Trust Flow ( bangladesh number data , better yet, the difference between Citation Flow and Trust Flow). These two scores actually do completely different things. Moz’s Spam Score predicts the likelihood that a domain will be banned or penalized based on certain characteristics of the site. Majestic Trust Flow determines the trustworthiness of a domain or page based on the quality of the links pointing to it. Although calculated quite differently, the goal is to help webmasters identify which sites are trustworthy and which are not. However, while these are a good starting point, they are not enough on their own to give you a clear picture of whether a link is good or bad.
