Revuin's backlink checker analyzes any domain's backlink profile — who links to it, from how many unique referring domains, and what anchor text they use — so you can gauge a site's link authority, spot spam signals, or find a competitor's link-building opportunities you're missing.

Frequently asked questions
What's a 'referring domain' versus a 'backlink'?+
A backlink is a single link; a referring domain is a unique website linking to you. Ten backlinks from one domain count as one referring domain — which matters more for authority than raw backlink count.
How can I tell if a backlink is spammy?+
Watch for low-authority or unrelated referring domains, unnatural anchor text patterns, and links from networks that link to many unrelated sites at once — all of which this tool's referring-network view is built to surface.
Can I check a competitor's backlinks, not just my own?+
Yes — that's one of the most common uses: seeing exactly where a competitor's link authority comes from.
What is a backlink gap analysis?+
It compares your domain against a competitor’s and surfaces referring domains that link to them but not to you — a direct list of realistic outreach targets.
People also ask
How many backlinks does a website need to rank well?+
There's no fixed number — quality and relevance of referring domains matter far more than raw count, and plenty of well-optimized pages rank with very few links in low-competition niches.
Do nofollow links help SEO?+
They don't pass ranking authority the way followed links do, but they can still drive referral traffic and contribute to a natural-looking link profile.
How long does it take for a new backlink to affect rankings?+
It varies, but it's typically weeks rather than days — Google needs to discover, crawl, and factor in the new link, and any resulting ranking movement takes time to stabilize.
