Backlink monitor · no hosting needed

You paid for those links. Are they still there?

Most link building is never checked again after the invoice is paid. We check every link you tell us about — on your own sites or anywhere on the web — and tell you the day one is removed, repointed at somebody else, re-anchored, or quietly turned into a nofollow. And for any domain, we watch the whole backlink profile: who links to it, who stopped, what anchor text they use and how spammy it all looks.

A link that quietly disappears costs you twice

You paid for it once Guest posts get pruned. Editors rewrite old articles. A site changes owner and the outbound links go. A theme update drops the widget your link lived in. Nobody tells you, and the invoice is long paid.

You are still counting it Worse than losing the link is not knowing. You keep it on the spreadsheet, keep crediting it for your rankings, and never go back to the seller while there is still a chance of getting it replaced.

Two halves, one add-on

Link watch The links you know about Tell us the page that should link to you and the page it should point at — and, if you agreed one, the anchor text. We fetch that page ourselves and answer five questions: is the link there at all; does the href still point at your page or somewhere else; is the anchor text still what was agreed; has a rel="nofollow", ugc or sponsored appeared; and what does the page itself answer — 200, a 404, or a redirect away. Checking links is included in every plan and never uses your monthly allowance.

Backlink profile The links you do not know about Point it at any domain — yours, a client’s, a competitor’s — and see the whole picture: how many sites link to it, which ones are new since last time and which have gone, the anchor text spread, the pages people actually link to, a spam score, and a month-by-month history of links won and lost.

How it works

Add your links
One at a time, or paste the whole spreadsheet: linking page, your page, anchor text. Import as many as your plan allows.
Choose how often
Daily, weekly or monthly, per link. The first check runs within a few minutes so you see the state of your network straight away.
We watch, you get on with it
Nothing in your inbox while everything is fine. One e-mail the day something changes, covering everything at once — never one message per link.
Go back to the seller with proof
Every link has a full history: what the anchor was, what it became, and the exact time it changed. Export the lot to CSV.

What you see

Every watched link, whether it is live, and the two ways to add one.

Live, gone, or changed Every link in one list, problems at the top, filtered by state, follow/nofollow, schedule or domain. Save the filters you use as named views.

Who links to a domain Referring domains with their authority, spam score and country — split into live, newly found and lost, so you can see a profile moving in either direction.

Anchor text spread A natural profile uses many different anchors. One phrase across most of your links is the pattern search engines look for; the chart shows it at a glance.

Simple monthly pricing

Prices in US dollars per month, before VAT where it applies. Pay for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months with PayPal (which also takes cards) or crypto. Nothing renews automatically — we remind you before it ends. No hosting plan needed.

No hosting needed

The backlink monitor is sold on its own and works for any website on the internet — links you bought on somebody else’s blog, links to a client’s site, links to a domain you have not built yet. Create an account, choose “No hosting needed”, and it is in your menu straight away. If you do host with us, every site gets a Backlinks tab showing the links pointing at it, whichever platform the site runs.

Questions people ask

Do I need a hosting plan?

No. The backlink monitor is sold on its own and works for links on any website, whether or not you host anything with us.

Do you only check links on sites I host with you?

No — any page on the public web. Most people use it for links they bought elsewhere, which is exactly the point.

What counts against my monthly allowance?

Only backlink profile refreshes. Watching and re-checking individual links costs you nothing, however often you do it, because we fetch those pages ourselves.

How quickly will I know a link has gone?

You choose per link: daily, weekly or monthly. On daily you will know within a day, in one e-mail that covers everything that changed.

Will it e-mail me about every single link?

Never. It is one message per day at most, listing everything that changed. If 400 links go overnight you get one e-mail that says so, not 400.

What if the anchor text is changed rather than the link removed?

That is reported as “changed”, with the old and new anchor text and the exact time. The same goes for a link that is repointed at a different page or made nofollow.

Can I watch a competitor’s backlink profile?

Yes. A profile can be any domain at all.

Can I get the data out?

Yes — CSV export of your links and of any profile’s referring domains, plus a full REST API if you want to pull it into your own reporting.

Can I cancel?

Nothing renews automatically. We e-mail you before it ends, and your links, domains and all their history stay on your account whether you renew or not.
