How to check your backlinks in three steps
Type your domain, like yourbusiness.com.sg. Leave off https:// and anything after the first slash.
Press Check my backlinks. The checker looks your domain up in DataForSEO's link index.
Read the three next steps first. They say which links to check, which sites to ask and where to earn more.
Your backlink results, explained
| Number | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Referring domains | How many different websites link to yours. DataForSEO counts a subdomain, like blog.example.com, as its own website. |
| Backlinks | Every live link to your site, counted one by one. One website can send hundreds, from a footer or a sidebar. |
| Domain rank | DataForSEO's rank for your domain, which runs from 0 to 1,000 and shows here divided by 10. DataForSEO works it out from the links pointing at you with the original PageRank formula, so links from strong sites push it up. Don't expect it to match Ahrefs' DR or Moz's DA. |
| Spam score | The average spam score of the pages that link to you, out of 100. DataForSEO scores each linking page on 18 signals, like a domain name full of numbers, no HTTPS or a missing title tag. 0 to 30 is low, 31 to 60 is medium and 61 to 100 is high. |
| Top 10 sites | The websites with the most links to you. Each row shows how many links that site sends and the spam score of its linking pages. |
A high spam score says the pages linking to you look like low-quality sites. It doesn't prove a link is hurting you.
Which links to remove, which sites to ask, and where to earn more
Start with the spam scores in your top 10. Say a site you've never heard of scores high, and you or a past agency paid for links. Ask that site to take the link down. Google says most sites never need its disavow tool, so keep it for links that won't come down.
Then ask. The sites that already link to you know who you are. A short email asking for a link to the page that sells your main service is the easiest link you'll get.
Then earn. Aim for more websites, not more links from the same one. If one site sends you half your links, count them as one link and look for new sites.
Check what your last agency's link building got you
Paid someone to build links? Type your domain and read the top 10. Suppliers, partners and local press you recognise are real links. Sites you've never heard of, with high spam scores, are the ones to ask about.
Find out which pages to fix first, and which to write next
Links point at pages, so give people pages worth linking to. Our AI SEO Software audits your site and lists what to change on which page.
On the Grow plan, from S$159 a month, it also builds a plan from your site and your competitors' sites: which pages to fix and which to write next, for Google and for AI answers like ChatGPT. Then it writes the articles in your voice.
Plans start at S$79 a month, paid in Singapore dollars, with no setup fee. We set up your account for you. Audits and articles use credits from your plan: a site audit takes 3, and the Audit plan comes with 75 a month.
