FAQ
Common questions
Where does the backlink data come from?
Results come from DataForSEO's link index, the same data behind backlink research in Ranktide. The index refreshes continuously, so counts can differ slightly from tools that crawl the web on their own schedule.
How many backlinks can I see for free?
The free checker shows a domain's summary metrics and its top 15 backlinks, one per referring domain, ranked by domain strength. Sign up for Ranktide to page through the full list, see referring domains and anchors, and filter out spam. The free plan includes 1,000 credits.
Can I check a competitor's backlinks?
Yes. Enter your domain, a competitor's, or a site you're vetting for outreach. Backlink data comes from the public web, so you don't need to own or verify the site.
What is domain rank?
Domain rank is a 0-100 score for the strength of a domain's link profile, similar to domain authority in other tools. Higher means more and stronger links point at the domain.
