Campaigns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Backlinks are the lifeblood of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/blog-seo\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\" title=\"SEO (search engine optimization)\">SEO (search engine optimization)<\/a>. A backlink is a hyperlink to your website from someone else\u2019s website. Google, and other search engines, follow backlinks and count them as a \u201cvote\u201d for your website. If a big, reputable website links to you, that\u2019s worth more than the vote of a tiny, unknown website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Put simply, backlinks are the currency of the Internet<\/strong>. I even wrote an entire guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/high-quality-backlinks\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\" title=\"how to get high quality backlinks\">how to get high quality backlinks<\/a>. The more backlinks you have, the higher your chances of regularly ranking high in organic Google search results. Search engine crawlers <em>follow<\/em> backlinks when they\u2019re mapping the web, so having <em>more <\/em>quality backlinks to your site helps Google to index your site in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more backlinks you have to a particular page or post (assuming the content is quality), the higher that URL will rank in the SERP (search engine results page) for relevant search terms, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/drive-traffic-website\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\" title=\"the more organic traffic you\u2019ll get\">the more organic traffic you\u2019ll get<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Your Backlink Profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your backlink profile is extremely important. Like craaaaazy important in the grand scheme of ranking high in organic Google search results. A good backlink profile will include many links from big sites, along with a lot of links from smaller sites too. It\u2019ll also include a wide range of anchor text (the clickable words that the link is attached to).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"838\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Free-Backlink-Checker-Tool-Example-and-Screen-Shot-of-Backlink-Profile-1024x838.jpg\" alt=\"Free Backlink Checker Tool (Example and Screen Shot of Backlink Profile)\" class=\"wp-image-22057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Free-Backlink-Checker-Tool-Example-and-Screen-Shot-of-Backlink-Profile-1024x838.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Free-Backlink-Checker-Tool-Example-and-Screen-Shot-of-Backlink-Profile-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Free-Backlink-Checker-Tool-Example-and-Screen-Shot-of-Backlink-Profile-768x629.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Free-Backlink-Checker-Tool-Example-and-Screen-Shot-of-Backlink-Profile-1536x1257.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Free-Backlink-Checker-Tool-Example-and-Screen-Shot-of-Backlink-Profile.jpg 1654w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an ideal world, your website would naturally attract links from other sites, by being incredibly informative and trustworthy. Because the internet is so big and busy, though, you\u2019ll likely need to put in some work (at least initially) to encourage other sites to link to yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where backlink checkers come in. A backlink checker tool makes it easy for you to see exactly where other sites in your niche are getting links from\u2014which means you can target those sites when building links to yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Use the Backlink Checker to Discover Any Website\u2019s Backlinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ready to give this free backlink checker a try? Here\u2019s how to get started.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Choose a Website and Type in the URL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, you\u2019ll need to give the tool the website URL (or copy and paste it from your browser\u2019s address bar, if you\u2019re already on that website).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do you pick the right website to investigate? You might want to start by trying out your own site, to get a sense of how the tool works and to see what backlinks you already have. But for the most useful results, I\u2019d recommend picking a well-established site in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/blog-niche\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\" title=\"your niche\">your niche<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, here on RyRob, I might take a look at one of my competitors\u2019 backlinks\u2014peeking behind the scenes at where a blog like ProBlogger is getting some of their best links:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Example-of-Backlink-Profile-Screen-Shot-Using-Free-Backlink-Checker-Tool-by-RyRob-1024x589.jpg\" alt=\"Example of Backlink Profile (Screen Shot) Using Free Backlink Checker Tool by RyRob\" class=\"wp-image-22059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Example-of-Backlink-Profile-Screen-Shot-Using-Free-Backlink-Checker-Tool-by-RyRob-1024x589.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Example-of-Backlink-Profile-Screen-Shot-Using-Free-Backlink-Checker-Tool-by-RyRob-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Example-of-Backlink-Profile-Screen-Shot-Using-Free-Backlink-Checker-Tool-by-RyRob-768x441.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Example-of-Backlink-Profile-Screen-Shot-Using-Free-Backlink-Checker-Tool-by-RyRob-1536x883.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Example-of-Backlink-Profile-Screen-Shot-Using-Free-Backlink-Checker-Tool-by-RyRob.jpg 1618w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This backlink checker tool is forever free, and you can run it as often as you want, so don\u2019t worry if you\u2019re not sure what site to check out first. You could make a list of different sites in your niche and give them all a whirl to see who\u2019s linking to them. You can also repeat this process regularly to check for new links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Discover the Website\u2019s Backlink Profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve entered a URL to check the backlink profile and hit \u201cSubmit,\u201d this free tool will give you a table of information, just like the one above here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll see the table has 4 columns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Backlink URL<\/strong>: The page that\u2019s linking to your site (along with the URL of the page it\u2019s linking to, directly beneath, and when the link first appeared)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Domain Rating<\/strong>: The domain rating of the linking site on a scale of 0 to 100 (the higher, the better)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Page Rating<\/strong>: The page rating of the linking page on a scale of 0 to 100 (the higher, the better)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Link Type<\/strong>: This will indicate if the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/what-is-nofollow-link\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\" title=\"link is nofollow\">link is nofollow<\/a> or follow (follow is better)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the fully featured version of this tool on <a href=\"https:\/\/rightblogger.com?via=ryrob\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">RightBlogger<\/a>, you can sort and reorder the table by Backlink URL (alphabetical, A\u2013Z), Domain Rating (numerical, highest to lowest), or Page Rating (numerical, highest to lowest) by clicking on the headers. Click a second time to order the other way (Z\u2013A, or lowest to highest).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All this information may seem a little overwhelming at first, so let\u2019s take a closer look at what all these different elements really mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Backlink URL<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The backlink URL is the URL (web address) of the page that\u2019s linking back to your site. It\u2019s shown in bold and you can click the arrow button on the right of this URL to open it up in a new tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beneath this (not in bold), you\u2019ll see the page on your site that\u2019s being linked to. This could be your homepage or a specific page, e.g. a blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll also see a \u201cfollow\u201d or \u201cnofollow\u201d badge. \u201cFollow\u201d links are more valuable than \u201cnofollow\u201d links, but for a good backlink profile, you want at least some of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Domain Rating<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The domain rating is a measure of the authority or reputation of the website linking to you. The higher this number is, the better. Well-known and long-established websites like Forbes and Business Insider will rank higher than smaller, newer sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, for a good backlink profile, you want a mix of links from sites with different levels of domain rank. It\u2019s fine to have links from some sites with a low rank (under 50) but you want most links to come from sites with 70+ domain authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Page Rating<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Page rating measures the authority of the specific page that\u2019s linking to you (not the website as a whole). These numbers tend to be lower than domain rank, so you can expect most of the page ranks to be in the 20\u201340 range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Seen (RightBlogger Feature)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the fully featured version of this tool on <a href=\"https:\/\/rightblogger.com?via=ryrob\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">RightBlogger<\/a>, you&#8217;ll also see the date when the link first appeared on the web. If you\u2019re investigating another site\u2019s backlinks, it\u2019s useful to check when those links first appeared\u2014a link from several years ago may be difficult to replicate today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking at your own site\u2019s backlinks, this can also help you spot any new backlinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Make a List of Backlink Opportunities to Explore Further<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps your competitor has a recent backlink from a big\u2014but not <em>too<\/em> big\u2014site in your niche. You investigate further by opening up the backlink URL and you find that your competitor wrote a guest post for that site a few months ago. The site is still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/guest-blogging\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\" title=\"taking guest posts\">taking guest posts<\/a>\u2026 making it a great opportunity for you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/high-quality-backlinks\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\" title=\"get a backlink\">get a backlink<\/a> too. Just be sure you&#8217;re taking time to send great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/blogger-outreach\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\" title=\"blog outreach emails\">blog outreach emails<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By running through the list of your competitors\u2019 backlinks, you can copy and paste any good possible opportunities into a document or spreadsheet for further investigation. If a site is linking to your competitor, there\u2019s a good chance they\u2019d be willing to link to you too\u2014it&#8217;s just a matter of getting your offer right.

They \u201ccount\u201d in Google\u2019s eyes to boost the page\u2019s ranking \u2013 another way of putting this is to say that the link passes on link equity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloggers and website owners can also set links as \u201cnofollow\u201d links. These are used when someone wants to link to a page without \u201cvoting\u201d for that page in Google\u2019s eyes. That could be because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It\u2019s a paid\/sponsored link\u2014Google wants these to be \u201cnofollow\u201d links.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They\u2019re linking to a site they don\u2019t want to endorse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The site has a policy of nofollowing all external links.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google and other search engines treat nofollow as a \u201chint\u201d, so it\u2019s possible that some nofollow links will boost a page\u2019s ranking. From a link building perspective, you want to get lots of follow links, but it\u2019s good to also have some nofollow links in your overall link profile as this is more natural.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lightweight-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"lightweight-accordion-title\"><h3>Why did you make this a free backlink analysis tool?<\/h3><\/summary><div class=\"lightweight-accordion-body\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I first started blogging, I didn\u2019t have the money to spend on all the tools I wanted. There were so many great premium tools that would have helped me improve my SEO and grow my blog faster \u2026 but I simply couldn\u2019t afford them. I used free versions where possible instead, and I was so grateful to the bloggers and developers who created those free tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, I\u2019ve seen a huge amount of success with RyRob and I wanted to give something back to the blogging community. <strong>The backlink analysis tool is free because I care.<\/strong> There are no strings attached: no usage limits, no need to enter your email address, no requests for your credit card information. It\u2019s just a completely free tool that you can use over and over again to check out backlinks for your site or anyone else\u2019s. I hope it\u2019ll help you build lots of high quality links to your site.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lightweight-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"lightweight-accordion-title\"><h3>What other backlink checker tools are there and how do they compare? (Best backlink checkers)<\/h3><\/summary><div class=\"lightweight-accordion-body\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are quite a few different backlink checker tools out there, but mine is the only free tool with no account creation requirement. Let\u2019s take a look at three of the most popular\u2014Moz, Semrush, and Ahrefs\u2014and see how they stack up against the free backlink checker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, my free tool doesn\u2019t have usage limits (you can check out as many URLs as you want) and you don\u2019t need to sign up to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moz\u2019s Link Explorer (Free &amp; Limited with Account Creation)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moz has Link Explorer: a tool you can use to investigate backlinks for any website. You\u2019ll need to create an account by entering your email address. This only gives you access to up to 10 queries (different domains) and 50 rows of backlink data for each domain, per month. This includes the page authority (a Moz SEO metric).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You get an overview of key metrics for the domain, including the domain authority, a figure for linking domains, for total inbound links, and for ranking keywords. You\u2019ll also see a list of top links, top pages, and anchor text that\u2019s being used. You can download the data as a CSV file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Semrush\u2019s Backlink Analytics (Free &amp; Limited with Account Creation)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semrush has Backlink Analytics, which lets you easily analyze a domain and compare it with competitors. You\u2019ll need to sign up to use it, which gives you 10 free requests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Moz, Semrush gives you some overall data, including an Authority Score, a figure for referring domains, and figures for your traffic. You can see how many links are follow vs nofollow, whether the link type is text vs image, and more. It\u2019s really easy to compare one domain with another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ahrefs\u2019 Backlink Checker (Free &amp; Limited with Account Creation)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahrefs\u2019 free backlink checker gives you a quick snapshot of a domain, showing a list of backlinks\u2014you need to sign up to see them all. The snapshot includes metrics like the domain rating (out of 100), the total number of backlinks, total linking websites, and the percentage of dofollow links.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use the free tool over and over again for different domains, but you\u2019ll only see a limited selection of backlinks (web pages) for each one.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lightweight-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"lightweight-accordion-title\"><h3>Who is this backlink checker designed for?<\/h3><\/summary><div class=\"lightweight-accordion-body\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we created the free backlink checker, we had in mind lots of different people who\u2019d be using it. This tool doesn\u2019t require any special SEO knowledge or technical expertise. It\u2019s suitable for SEO professionals to use, of course, but it\u2019s also a great fit for bloggers, content marketers, content creators, small business owners, and anyone who wants to get more incoming links and see their site ranking higher in Google.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lightweight-accordion\"><details><summary class=\"lightweight-accordion-title\"><h3>What other free SEO tools should I be using to enhance my link building strategies &amp; improve my search rankings?<\/h3><\/summary><div class=\"lightweight-accordion-body\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a massive stable of other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ryrob.com\/free-seo-tools\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\" title=\"free SEO tools\">free SEO tools<\/a> to help you out.
