Competitor Backlink Finder

Finds pages that link to a domain, using web search + verifying an actual <a href> link exists

Not a full backlink index like Ahrefs/Semrush (that needs their own crawled database) — this searches what a search engine has indexed and verifies each result actually contains a real link, not just a text mention.

What Is a Backlink Finder?

A backlink finder looks for other pages on the web that link to a given domain. Backlinks matter for SEO because a link from another site acts as a vote of relevance — the more (and better) sites linking to you, the more search engines tend to trust the page.

How to Find Backlinks to a Domain

1

Enter a domain (yours or a competitor's).

2

Press "Find Backlinks."

3

Review each result's source, anchor text, and link type.

Is This Backlink Finder Free?

Yes — there's no paywall, no watermark, and no sign-up required.

How It Actually Finds Backlinks

It searches the web for pages mentioning the domain, then fetches each result and checks whether it actually contains a real link back to that domain — not just a text mention of the name. Only verified links make it into the results.

Is This the Same as Ahrefs or SEMrush?

No. Those tools maintain their own crawled index of billions of pages and can show a site's full historical backlink profile, often thousands of links deep. This tool runs a live search on demand and checks a small number of results each time it's run — a quick sample of what's easily findable, not a comprehensive index.

Dofollow vs Nofollow Links

A dofollow link passes SEO value to the site it points to — the default for a normal link. A nofollow link carries a rel="nofollow" attribute telling search engines not to pass that value, common on blog comments, forum posts, and paid or sponsored placements. Each result here is labeled with which type it is.

Why Results Are Limited

Each search checks up to 10 results, and only the first matching link found on each page counts — so any backlinks outside that small sample, or additional links on a page that's already been checked, won't show up. A domain with few results here can still have plenty of real backlinks this particular run just didn't surface.

Is It Safe to Search a Domain Here?

Yes — the search runs for that one request and isn't saved anywhere. No account or sign-up is required to use it.
