Backlink Intelligence

Referring domains, anchor profiles, and authority scores, with free fallbacks built in.

What it does

Backlink Intelligence

Links are still how the web votes on authority, and reading a link profile tells you where a domain's strength comes from — and where the risk hides. This tool reports referring domains, the links that carry the most authority, and the anchor text that describes them.

Reads the backlink index for a domain and reports how many distinct sites link to it, which individual links carry the most authority, and what anchor text those links use — an anchor profile skewed to exact-match commercial terms is a risk signal worth seeing.

What you get

Everything backlink intelligence covers

Referring domains

How many distinct sites link to a domain — a truer authority read than raw link counts.

Top links by authority

The individual backlinks doing the most work, so you know what to protect and what to emulate.

Anchor-text profile

The words linking sites use — an anchor set skewed to exact-match commercial terms is a risk signal worth seeing early.

Free fallbacks built in

Core authority reads work even without a paid backlink index, so you're never fully blocked on data.

How it works

Three steps, seconds each

1

Enter a domain

Yours to audit, or a competitor's to reverse-engineer.

2

Read the profile

Referring domains, top links and the anchor breakdown in one view.

3

Act on it

Chase the link types that lift a rival, and watch for an anchor profile that looks manipulated.

FAQ

Common questions

Do backlinks still matter?

Yes — they remain one of the strongest ranking signals. Quality and relevance beat volume; a few authoritative, on-topic links outweigh hundreds of weak ones.

What is a healthy anchor profile?

Mostly branded and natural anchors, with exact-match commercial anchors in the minority. A profile dominated by money keywords is a manipulation flag.

What are referring domains?

The count of unique websites linking to you. One site linking a hundred times is one referring domain — which is why it's the better authority measure.
