What does a backlink checker show?

A backlink checker reveals which external pages link to a domain. For each link you can see the source page, the anchor text used, and whether it's dofollow (passes ranking signal) or nofollow. It's the fastest way to audit your own link profile or reverse-engineer a competitor's. This free tool shows a sample of the freshest links plus the total count from a live index.

Turn backlinks into rankings

  • Spot your best dofollow links and the anchors that send the most value.
  • Find competitor links you could replicate.
  • Check whether new links are actually indexed — unindexed links pass no value until Google crawls them.

Frequently asked questions

How many backlinks does the free checker show?

It shows a sample of the top links (one per referring domain) plus the total count. Sign up for full, exportable reports.

What's the difference between dofollow and nofollow?

Dofollow links pass ranking signal; nofollow links generally don't. A healthy profile has a natural mix.

Can I check a competitor's backlinks?

Yes — enter any domain. It's a great way to find link opportunities you're missing.

My new backlinks don't show or don't help — why?

Links take time to be discovered and indexed. If Google hasn't crawled a link, it passes no value; BacklinkIndex can force-index it in minutes.
