Backlink checker: is your link live, and is it dofollow?
After your article goes live or you buy a link, check it yourself: is the link really on the page? Does it pass value (dofollow), or does it carry nofollow or sponsored? And can Google index the page itself?
How to use it
- 1
Paste the page URL
The page where your link should appear, such as the published article.
- 2
Enter your domain or one URL
Type your domain (example.com) to see every link to it, or one exact page to check just that link.
- 3
Read the result
Each link's type, anchor text and position, plus whether the page itself can be indexed.
Dofollow vs nofollow
A normal (dofollow) link passes trust signals to your site. rel="nofollow" asks search engines not to pass them, rel="sponsored" marks paid links and rel="ugc" marks user content such as comments. Google treats these values as hints, not commands.
What we check on the page
We read the page's HTML the way a crawler does: the status code and redirects, the meta robots tag and X-Robots-Tag header, the canonical URL, then every link to your domain with its type, anchor text and position: content, menu, footer or sidebar.
Why a link I can see might not show up
If the page adds links with JavaScript after loading, they may not be in the original HTML; we warn you when a page looks like that. Some sites also block checking tools, and when that happens we say so instead of giving a wrong answer.
Frequently asked questions
01Is it really free?
Yes, and you don't need an account. There's a fair limit on checks per visitor so the tool stays fast for everyone.
02Is a nofollow link worthless?
Not necessarily: it can bring visits and brand exposure, and Google treats nofollow as a hint. But if you agreed on a dofollow link with the publisher, this tool shows whether you got one.
03What does a noindex page mean?
The page asks search engines not to index it. Your link is still there, but it usually counts for less in search. Ask the publisher if your article's page is noindex.
04Does it find every link to my site?
No, it checks one page at a time: the page you enter. To see which sites link to you, use the Links report in Google Search Console.
