Use pages-by-backlinks-ahrefs (Tool ID 2cf2b077-f624-48d3-ab08-1b7ead6cc5d6). Reuse my Toolmu connection or follow https://toolmu.com/SKILL.md, within my current authorization and budget. Ask for the target if missing. Send queryParams target example.com, mode domain, protocol both, limit 20 and order_by refdomains_target:desc,links_to_target:desc; omit unnecessary filters. Review the target pages receiving external backlinks, with available titles, link counts and unique source-domain counts per page. These are destination pages, not individual linking-source URLs. Do not sum per-page unique domains into a sitewide unique total. Keep missing values distinct from zero. Use the selected sort explicitly; do not assume a default order or that all recorded links are currently live. Link popularity may guide closer content review but does not prove quality, traffic, conversions or future links. Use only the supported six inputs; title_target can be filtered but cannot be sorted. Additional calls or checks require authorization.

Task:
For [https://example.com], list up to [20] pages in Ahrefs records, starting with those linked by the most different websites. Show each address, title if available, number of links and different websites linking to it. Ahrefs may not list every page or show if links still exist.

Compare Pages by Backlink Counts · Ahrefs

Enter a domain or URL to compare its pages by recorded incoming external-link counts and the number of different domains linking to each page.

You receive

Get target-page records with destination URLs, available titles, backlink counts and unique referring-domain counts. Choose a supported sort order to find pages with more recorded links or more distinct linking domains for closer content review.

Start with your task

For [https://example.com], list up to [20] pages in Ahrefs records, starting with those linked by the most different websites. Show each address, title if available, number of links and different websites linking to it. Ahrefs may not list every page or show if links still exist.

What to know

Ahrefs coverage, filters and at most 100 page records limit the list. Link counts do not establish content quality, traffic or conversions, and the report does not list every individual backlink or check live link validity.

Input schema

Input schema
Field / Path	Type	Requirement	Meaning
queryParams`queryParams`	`object`	Required	Required fields `target`
Target scope`queryParams.mode`	`string`	Optional	Optional exact, prefix, domain or subdomains; default subdomains. exact selects this URL, prefix selects URLs beginning with the target, domain excludes subdomains, and subdomains includes them. This selects target pages, not referring sites. Default `subdomains` Options `exact, prefix, domain, subdomains`
Page-record limit`queryParams.limit`	`integer`	Optional	Optional integer from 1 to 100; default 100. Limits returned target-page rows, not the number of backlinks or referring domains within a row. Default `100` Minimum `1` Maximum `100`
Page filter`queryParams.where`	`string`	Optional	Optional JSON-encoded filter expression supplied as a string. Supported fields are url_to, title_target, links_to_target and refdomains_target. Omit it when no filtering is needed. Minimum length `1`
Target domain or URL`queryParams.target`	`string`	Required	Required non-empty string, such as example.com or https://example.com/page. Together with mode, selects the destination pages whose incoming backlink counts are reported. Minimum length `1`
Page sort order`queryParams.order_by`	`string`	Optional	Optional comma-separated fields, each optionally followed by :desc. Supported fields are url_to, links_to_target and refdomains_target; title_target is not sortable. For example: refdomains_target:desc,links_to_target:desc. Minimum length `1`
Target protocol`queryParams.protocol`	`string`	Optional	Optional both, http or https; default both. Selects the protocol of target-page URLs, not the protocol or present validity of linking-source URLs. Default `both` Options `both, http, https`

Additional notes

Each row describes a page receiving backlinks within the selected target. Its URL is the destination, its title is the available target-page title, and its counts describe incoming links and distinct linking domains. More links can come from the same small set of domains, so compare both counts rather than treating them as interchangeable.

Choose the sort order explicitly and retain the scope, filters and page-row limit. A shortlist of pages attracting links is an Agent interpretation of those records, not proof of content quality, organic traffic or the cause of the links. The public inputs do not offer a live-only or historical-date selector; keep recorded counts separate from a current check.
