Backlink Checker - A Free tool to check backlink (2023)

GET A DETAILED ANALYSIS OF YOUR BACKLINKS — FAST?

Backlinks, along with content, make up the most important factors that influence how well your webpages perform in search engine results pages (SERPs).

If that tells you anything, it should be that backlinks are super-important and should be treated so.

Treating your site's backlinks with the utmost importance they deserve starts with having an idea of what your backlink profile looks like. Put differently, you would have to analyze your backlinks to know where you are and the next level to which you should take it.

And that's where a free backlinks checker tool comes in.

HOW TO USE OUR FREE BACKLINKS CHECKER TOOL

Our tool is remarkably easy to use. You don’t need to be a techie or an expert in SEO to use it. In fact, it takes just three simple steps:

Step #1: Get on this page (https://smallseotools.com/backlink-checker/) where you are now already.

Step #2: In the space provided, enter your URL. This can be the main domain pointing to the site's homepage or the URL of a particular page like a product page or blog post URL. You can choose whether the tool should show external links pointing to all pages on the domain or to that single page owning the URL you entered.

Step #3: Click on the “Check Backlink” button. Your specific request may require that you complete a CAPTCHA. If so, go ahead with it. Once you've completed the three steps above, the tool will show you the results immediately — with all the metrics discussed in the section above. You can download the report if you want.

Most other backlink checkers only show you a few results (say 10) per page. But our link checker can show you the top 100 backlinks to a single URL. And you have the option to view more.

Like stated earlier, our tool NOT ONLY show you backlinks. It also collects and displays other vital metrics as we've shown you in the section above.

WHY ARE BACKLINKS IMPORTANT IN SEO?

Backlinks are links on other websites, pointing to your website. It's also referred to as inbound links or incoming links.

Typically, the more backlinks a website has, the better the website will perform on search engine results pages. Also, the higher the quality of your backlinks, the higher your chances of ranking higher.

How? Google and some other search engines perceive each backlink as a type of recommendation. So the higher the number of backlinks (and their quality) pointing to your website, the more trusted the search engines will deem your site to be. And ultimately, the better your rankings.

So when building backlinks, don't focus only on the quantity of links. Instead, go for QUALITY and RELEVANCE, too. Mostly target sites whose domain authority are equal to or higher than your site's. (Use our free domain authority checker to test.)

If your site has lots of low-quality backlinks or spammy links, your SERPs rankings will suffer. In other words, it is better to have 10 natural, high-quality backlinks than to have 100 low-quality ones.

That's why you need to use a backlink checker tool to monitor and check your site's backlinks and their value.
