Frequently Asked Questions

What is a backlink status checker?

A backlink status checker is a tool that verifies if a link to your website exists on another webpage and provides detailed information about that link, including its type (dofollow/nofollow), anchor text, and HTTP status.

Why should I check my backlinks?

Backlinks are crucial for SEO. Regularly checking them helps you ensure they're still live, haven't been changed to nofollow, and haven't been removed. This is especially important if you paid for the backlink or it's from a high-authority site.

What's the difference between dofollow and nofollow links?

Dofollow links pass SEO value ("link juice") to your site and help improve your search rankings. Nofollow links tell search engines not to follow the link, so they don't directly contribute to your SEO rankings.

Is this tool really free?

Yes! This backlink checker is completely free to use and doesn't require any signup or registration. For ongoing monitoring of multiple backlinks, check out BackMetric's paid plans.
