Adding Irrelevant URLs To Verified Links
Hi, for some reason GSA has a tendency to add the wrong url's and I don't know why...
Im sure everyone has this problem if they check their existing projects you will notice links like this:
It also dose this with the main domain sometimes, if you look through your existing projects you will see root domains like:
This causes a major problem when using third party application to check tiers, I Use backlink monitor to check my tiers to see which ones are alive/dead. I notice that GSA dose not have this feature so this is why I am using a third party application.
For anyone one who is using a program like Backlink Monitor you might want to be careful since you are loosing out on a ton of links since GSA is adding random URL's that dose not have anything to do with your backlink.
When program's like BLM trys to trace your tiers, it looks for any URL that is within your tiers and matches them up. Meaning if it finds "http://everytimelinks.com/upcoming.php" before it finds "http://mybacklink.com/my-back-link/" it automatically mark the entire tier as broken since the program thinks "http://everytimelinks.com/upcoming.php" is your backlink and since its not leading up to your root domain it marks it as broken which ends up getting deleted.
The way programs like BLM works is by tracing all your tiers back to your root domain. If it crawls your tiers and cannot make it back to the root domain it marks the entire backlink tier as broken and the program will delete it.
To test this, Open up GSA, select your tiers 1-4, load them into notepad++, and manually delete the links like: "http://everytimelinks.com/upcoming.php" and "http://everytimelinks.com/". Now do a split test, run your unmodified verified links list you collected from GSA and load them into BLM, write down how many green OK links you get.
Then delete all the links from BLM and load up the verified links you modified with notepad++ you will notice that you get 2x-3x more green OK links than before, this is due to the fact that you no longer have the irrelevant links GSA keeps adding.
@Sven can you please fix this issue, this small bug is causing major problems since I've already deleted 1'000s of links which were actually working.

and yes that would be great if GSA could verify a complete tier for broken backlinks
The problem is the following...the program finds your link on the upcoming.php sublink or even on the root domain but can not locate a deeper link that would have a static url (Details, read more or alike anchor text).
There is no solution for moving page submissions (e.g. some guestbooks). There is however one for the detail-url location but for that you need to give me the sample pages to optimize the algorithm to find these detail links.
