Free tool · backlink check

The links pointing at you, read by the rules.

A previous vendor's link package, a scraper directory, a burst of foreign pages born the same week — most sites carry links that are holding them back and nobody has looked. This check reads every referring domain the index can see and counts the ones that fail, with the reason beside each.

01

The tiers

How many domains fail outright, how many are borderline, how many are flagged but pass nothing because they are nofollow, and how many pass.

02

The shapes and reasons

Scraper directories, sales-phrase anchors, foreign-language pages — and every reason by family, counted, so you can see what kind of problem you have.

03

Dead pages, new and lost

Links pointing at pages that no longer exist (a redirect gets them back), domains that appeared in the last 90 days and the ones that dropped away.

Questions

The backlink check, explained.

What does the backlink check look at?
A live link index is asked for your domain's profile, its strongest thousand referring domains, one representative link from each and the links lost in the last months. Every domain is then read by the same written rules the full audit uses — spam vocabulary, pages that link out to hundreds of sites, sitewide sales-phrase anchors, foreign-language pages, abused domain endings, shared hosting clusters, bursts of domains born the same week with the same anchor — and counted into tiers.
What is the difference between 'fails outright' and 'borderline'?
Fails outright means a decisive rule fired — the kind of thing no honest link trips, such as gambling vocabulary in the anchor or a page linking out to three hundred sites. Borderline means softer signals added up and the domain has to be decided one by one, by a person. The check gives you the counts and five examples; the audit reads every line.
Should I disavow everything that was flagged?
No. A rule can flag a real link, and a real link never goes on a disavow file. The order of work is always the same: removal requests to every site that fails outright, with a dated log; the disavow file by domain for what stays up; the borderline domains decided one by one; then the redirects for links to dead pages and the requests to get lost links back. The check's verdict is that to-do list.
Why do you need my details to run it?
Because each run costs real money against a link index and because a person reads the result. You get the counts on screen immediately and an email with what to do first. One run a month per domain; the audit and the ongoing watch are what the link-building service provides.
The audit

Every domain read by hand, and the file written.

The backlink audit lists every referring domain with the reason beside each, sends the removal requests with a dated log, drafts the disavow by domain for your decision and watches new domains by month. Tell us the site.
