FAQ
Why does backlink research still matter?
Because it tells you whether a SERP is won on content or on authority. If weak pages rank, write better content. If fortress domains rank, you need a link plan — and this shows you exactly which links hold them up.
Can I check competitor backlinks?
Yes — any domain, including competitors. You get their backlinks, referring domains, and top linked pages with quality signals on every row.
What do the link signals mean?
Each backlink row carries rank and spam signals, plus broken, lost, and nofollow status — enough to judge whether a link passes real value before you chase a similar one.
