Free Backlink Checkers – Research Anything You Need

I’ve been reviewing backlink checkers multiple times and it’s now time to list them in one round up. I’ll be listing only free ones here and also I’ll sort them by best functions, so a few feature-rich tools may end up being mentioned in a few categories. If you know of any tool I missed, please comment.

Sort links by linking domains:

One site can link to you from many or all pages and all those links are messing up in one list preventing you from seeing the whole picture. The following tools let you sort link per domain:

LinkHounds sorts results based on the IP address, thus showing only unique IP/domain backlinks. The tool allows to exclude any domain from the results and set the query depth.

Domain Backlinks Checker sorts the results based on the first- and second-level domains. The tool offers the information in a very convenient way linking to each page from the certain domain where the backlink was found.

Seobook BackLink Analyzer allows you to sort links by URL – so you can categorize them in groups by domain name.

Link VooDoo lists only linking domains and allows more data after the click.
