Backlink Status Checker
What is a Backlink Status Checker?
A Backlink Status Checker is a simple online tool that shows if the backlinks pointing to your site are still live or if they have been removed. At LinksMan, we offer this tool for free to help link builders save time and money.
Instead of manually visiting each page, our backlink checker tool scans the source URL and tells you in seconds whether your link is active or missing from the site.
Here are the results and what they mean:
- Found: Your link is active on the website
- Not Found: Your link is either broken or missing
Bonus: You can also see whether your links dofollow or nofollow.
For SEO professionals, it is a quick way to verify backlinks after campaigns or guest posts. Bloggers use it to confirm their links are still giving value. Marketers rely on it to check backlink status from PR mentions or partnerships.
This tool saves time and helps you keep a healthy backlink profile that continues to support your rankings.
Why Backlink Status Matters?
Search engines pay close attention to backlinks when deciding rankings. But the value of a backlink only exists when the link is live and pointing correctly to your site. If links are broken, removed, or changed, you lose the benefit of the work you have put into building them. That’s why keeping an eye on backlink status is so important for long-term SEO success.
Here’s why backlink status matters:
- Healthy backlinks strengthen rankings – Active links help build domain authority and improve visibility in search results.
- Broken or inactive backlinks waste effort – If a backlink is removed, the SEO value you earned disappears along with it.
- Regular monitoring protects ROI – Consistently checking your links helps you spot issues early, fix problems, and make sure your link-building efforts keep paying off.
