Backlink Checker

Check the backlink profile of any public domain. Review referring domains, total backlinks, and authority metrics to assess link equity, identify link building opportunities, or audit a competitor's backlink strategy. The report summarizes the number of unique referring domains, total backlinks, domain authority, and the distribution of follow versus nofollow links.

Who uses it

SEO specialists audit link profiles before outreach campaigns. Content marketers identify which competitor content attracts links. Domain investors evaluate backlink quality before acquisition. Digital PR teams track the impact of press releases and guest posts on referring domains.

What the metrics mean

Referring domains count unique sites that link to the target. Total backlinks count all individual links, including multiple links from the same domain. Domain authority estimates the site's ranking strength on a 0-100 scale. Follow links pass ranking equity; nofollow links do not, though they still drive traffic and signal relevance.

Common scenarios

Check a competitor's backlink profile to discover content that attracts links. Evaluate whether a domain's authority justifies a guest post investment. Track how your own backlink count grows after a content campaign. Identify which referring domains drive the most equity to inform your outreach list.

What it doesn't show

This tool reports aggregate backlink counts, not per-page or per-anchor breakdowns. It cannot tell you which specific pages on the target site receive the most links, or which anchor text is most common. For those details, use a dedicated backlink analysis platform. Newly acquired backlinks may take days or weeks to appear in aggregated indexes.
