Free Backlink Checker
Enter the page URL and your target URL to instantly verify whether your backlink exists, is dofollow, and passes SEO value.
What Backlink Checker Verifies
Link presence
Confirms whether a link to your target URL exists in the page HTML.
Dofollow / nofollow
Reads the rel attribute to determine if the link passes PageRank or is marked nofollow, ugc, or sponsored.
Anchor text
Extracts the visible anchor text of the backlink for relevance assessment.
Page indexability
Checks meta robots, X-Robots-Tag, canonical and robots.txt — a noindexed page passes less link value.
Link visibility
Detects hidden links (display:none, hidden attribute) that may not count for SEO.
Quality Score (0–100)
Combines all signals into a single score with explainable penalties per issue.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check if a backlink exists on a page?
Enter the page URL and your target URL above. LinkPulse fetches the page and scans the HTML for links matching your domain or URL.
What is the difference between dofollow and nofollow?
Dofollow links pass PageRank to your site. Nofollow links include
rel="nofollow"
and typically don't pass ranking signals.
Why does a backlink not pass SEO value?
Common reasons: the linking page uses noindex, the link has rel="nofollow", the link is hidden, or the canonical tag redirects equity elsewhere.
Can I check multiple backlinks at once?
Currently LinkPulse checks one page at a time. Bulk checking and monitoring features are on the roadmap.
Also need to check if a page is indexable?
Verify meta robots, canonical, robots.txt and more.
