Backlink analysis, not a link dump

Most tools hand you a spreadsheet and leave the thinking to you. Ranklogs reads your link profile and labels each backlink with a next move — pursue it, disavow it, or keep an eye on it — so you always know what to do next.

  • Pursue — editorial mentions, resource pages and competitor links worth earning.
  • Spam and toxic backlink check — Disavow: spammy anchors and link farms, flagged before they hurt you.
  • Watch — borderline links to keep an eye on, not act on yet.

Backlink history checker

Track backlinks over time

Every link carries the date it was first seen and the date it was last seen, so you can tell a profile that is growing from one that is churning. The full timeline — total backlinks over time and lost-link alerts — lives in Ranklogs' dedicated backlink history checker.

  • First seen / last seen dates on every backlink — your historical backlink data, kept.
  • New & lost links logged over time, so you can scroll back through profile changes.
  • Total backlinks and referring-domain counts tracked as a trend, not a one-off count.

Competitor link gaps

Competitor backlink checker — the links they have and you don't

Compare your profile against competitors and surface the sites already linking to them but not to you. Each gap is a warm, qualified outreach target — not a cold guess.

  • Link-gap analysis across one or more competitors at once.
  • Qualified targets — sites that already link in your niche.
  • Prioritized by how many rivals each site already links to.

Anchor text analysis

Anchor text analyzer — spot over-optimized anchors before they bite

A natural link profile leans on branded and generic anchors. Ranklogs breaks down your anchor mix and flags when exact-match anchors climb high enough to look manipulative.

  • Full anchor distribution — branded, exact-match, generic and URL.
  • Over-optimization flags when exact-match anchors run too hot.
  • Anchor health read so your profile looks earned, not built.

A blunt distinction

Backlink checker vs backlink analyzer

A checker

Counts

Shows you how many links point at a site and where from. Useful. Every free tool on page one does it, and after the list loads, you're the analyst.

An analyzer

Decides

Reads the same list and tells you which three things to do this week. Ranklogs is the second kind — and the free check above gives you the first one for nothing.

FAQ

Backlink Analyzer questions

How do I check how many backlinks a site has?

Enter your domain in a backlink checker. Ranklogs shows total backlinks, referring domains, Domain Score, your dofollow share and any broken backlinks free, with no signup — new and lost links come with the trial. Google Search Console lists a sample of links to sites you own, but can't check a competitor or score anything.

Is this backlink checker free?

The summary is — total links, referring domains, Domain Score and dofollow share, with no signup. One fresh check per day. The 12-month trend, the top links and the action list are in the 14-day trial, and on every plan from $19/mo.

How do I track new and lost backlinks over time?

Every link carries a first-seen and last-seen date. Inside Ranklogs, new & lost alerts arrive by email and the trend chart shows the profile month by month.

Can I try a backlink checker before committing to a subscription?

Yes, twice over: the free check needs no account, and the 14-day trial needs no card. Every feature in every plan, so the trial is the real product.

Is there a way to visualize my backlink growth over time?

Yes — the referring-domains trend covers 12 months inside the trial, alongside per-link history and exports you can drop into a client report.

What's the difference between a backlink checker and a backlink analyzer?

A checker counts links; an analyzer decides what to do about them. Ranklogs labels every link Pursue, Disavow or Watch and ranks the fixes by impact.

Can I see a domain's backlink history?

Yes. First-seen and last-seen dates on every link, and new & lost records over time — the backlink history checker page goes into that in detail.

Does Ranklogs include a broken link checker?

Yes, and it's free too: scan any page for dead links, no signup. The Site Auditor in every plan does the whole site.

Is there a Google backlink checker?

Google Search Console shows a sample of links to sites you own, but it can't check a competitor and doesn't score anything. Ranklogs connects your Search Console and adds the full index view, Domain Score and the action list.

How can I check for toxic backlinks?

Run your domain through a backlink checker that scores linking domains. Ranklogs flags links from low-Domain-Score domains, link farms and over-optimized exact-match anchors, groups them by domain, and labels each one Disavow or Watch so you can export a disavow file instead of guessing.
