Check the complete backlink profile of any website. Free tool shows all referring domains, anchor text, link type, and authority — no signup.

Free • No signup required • Results in 60 seconds

A backlinks checker shows you every external link pointing to a website — referring domain, exact URL, anchor text used, follow vs nofollow, and the authority of the linking page. It's the foundation of any link building strategy.

For your own site, it surfaces lost links you didn't know about, toxic links you should disavow, and patterns in what's working. For competitors, it's a complete playbook of who links to them and why.

Most paid tools charge $99-$499/month for backlink data. Our free checker covers the same data sources and serves the same use case — just without the dashboard fluff.

What backlinks actually do for rankings

Backlinks remain the #1 ranking factor for competitive keywords. Google uses them as votes — a link from a high-authority site in your niche signals that your page is trustworthy and useful.

But not all links are equal. A link from a relevant industry blog with authority 50 is worth 100x a link from an unrelated directory with authority 10. Focus on relevance and authority, ignore quantity.
