What Is a Backlink Checker?

This Backlink Checker verifies candidate backlinks you already know about. You provide your target domain or URL and a list of source pages that may link to it. The tool fetches each supplied source page and checks whether a link to your target is present.

Use it to confirm guest posts, directory listings, partner links, resource-page placements, or other backlinks from a prepared prospect or monitoring list. It does not discover a site's backlink profile, search the web for referring domains, or calculate authority scores.

How to Use This Backlink Checker

Enter the destination you expect the links to point to, then paste up to 50 candidate source URLs, one per line. Click Verify backlinks. Each row is reported as Found, Not found, or Error. Found rows include the extracted anchor text, the matching link URL, and rel information such as nofollow, sponsored, or UGC when present.

Review Error rows separately: an error means the source page could not be checked, not that the backlink is missing. Use the summary filters to isolate found, not-found, nofollow, and error results, then download the CSV if you need a working record.

How to Interpret the Results

A Found result confirms that the fetched source HTML contained a link to the target at the time of the check. Not found means the page was fetched but no matching target link was detected. Error means the page could not be fetched or parsed successfully. Treat a nofollow, sponsored, or UGC label as link metadata rather than proof that the placement has no value; these links may still send referral traffic even when they do not pass the same SEO signals as a standard followed link.
