Great functionality for a free tool!
Peter Askew

During my first search, the system presented several false positives on no-followed links. No doubt this tool has promise, but it still needs some work.

Pros:

Well designed.

Cons:

A few false positives on no-followed links showing up.

What's the underlying source of the backlinks data? Ahrefs, Moz,...?
Neil Patel
@matixmatix none... a ton of servers and crawling :/
Neil Patel
Thanks for hunting this Ben. I really appreciate the Product Hunt community sharing this as my goal is to help all startups with their SEO and I believe they shouldn't have to pay money to generate more traffic. If you are wondering what Backlinks does: 1. You can easily see who links to you or your competitors. This helps you figure what links you need to build to rank higher on Google. 2. Now link reports are integrated into Ubersuggest. You can see who links to a site's most popular pages. 3. You can see a site's domain score. Typically the higher the number the higher a site will rank. 4. You can filter links by almost anything you want. From anchor text to zones... you can drill down to the type of links you are interested in. This way you aren't spending hours trying to find new opportunities. Oh and if you use Ubersuggest on a regular basis, you may have to hard refresh or clear your cache to see the new Backlinks feature/report.

@neilpatel Is there any way to show the actual significance of sites on domains like Medium, Weebly, WordPress.com, blogger, etc.? Or do you believe the high DAs those sites enjoy extends to content published on them?

Congrats Neil for another SEO tool. But now I'm wondering, what are the differentiator points between Ahrefs, Moz and Majestic in this category of backlinks?
Neil Patel
@katairobi not much... and within a few months I will take the premium features and release more of them for free. Just takes a bit of time for development. :/ Next month I will release a version of Buzzsumo with more data for free. ;)

Woah... Another stellar tool from the creator of CrazyEgg & Kissmetrics :) I've actually tested Backlinks last week and found it very useful - it has similar functionalities to ahrefs only its...free. I also love the ease of use and "no clutter" interface where the results are in your face without needing to keep tabbing. Good stuff!
Neil Patel
@nadavdakner thanks for the kind words. My goal is to make SEO easy and affordable (free) for everyone. Especially startups.

Backlinks has similar functionalities to ahrefs and Majestic SEO, basically allow you to review and analyze your backlinks portfolio (and your competitors as well) and it also helps you search for good linkage opportunities. Whats good about it is that it's free and very very simple to use (like Ubersuggest), so in other words in very easy to use.

Pros:

Its a very robust platform, easy to use and most importantly free!

Cons:

extremely sophisticated reporting are still in development.

I just tested this tool for a couple of my sites and got new interesting data to work on. I liked the Top SEO Pages section and the SEO keywords tab gave me new content ideas. Bookmarked. I'll use it later with each of my websites. It's unusual to get something free, nowadays, so thank you for this handy tool @neilpatel !
Neil Patel
@erikemanuelli you're welcome. :)

It would be nice to somehow know the relative value of content on sites like Medium, Blogger, WordPress.com, etc. Are they actually as valuable as those sites' domains would lead you to believe when shown in tools like this?

Pros:

Easier to use than the average SEO tool which is far more complex.

Cons:

Nofollow or dofollow is inaccurate. HuffingtonPost, Wikipedia and even some comment links show up as dofollow.

Anfernee Chansamooth

Presented a tonne of useful results that I can use as part of my linkbuilding and outreach process. csv export handy.

Pros:

Quick and easy to use. Great UX

Cons:

maybe link to some training on what I can do with this data? :)

Csaba Kissi
What to say... Neil did it again 🙌. Thats just super impressive and super useful 👍. Hope it will work for a long long time and you'll be able to deal with scrapers. 🤞
Neil Patel
Thanks for the kind words. Just wait for version 2.0 ;)
Csaba Kissi
@neilpatel I've tried to export to CSV unfortunately only 16 records were exported. Actually 300 backlinks are listed on the page.

This is how you don't do your JS main.484fa502.js:1 TypeError: Invalid URL: hundredgraphs at te (main.484fa502.js:1) at new t (main.484fa502.js:1) at constructClassInstance (main.484fa502.js:1) at beginWork (main.484fa502.js:1) at o (main.484fa502.js:1) at a (main.484fa502.js:1) at s (main.484fa502.js:1) at w (main.484fa502.js:1) at _ (main.484fa502.js:1) at h (main.484fa502.js:1) It would be nice to throw an error at least instead of showing white and completely empty page

Hi Neil. Always a pleasure to see your stuff
Neil Patel
@iooleg thanks!

I've used Ubersuggest for months and love it!

Pros:

It's a useful tool and FREE.

Cons:

It will take a litlte time to learn how much you can do with it but it's quick and fairly easy for anyone to use

Joy Healey

That's a minor gripe, and how can I complain about something free? Thanks Neil for another great tool.

Pros:

It's easy to use and intuitive. Well laid our report. And it's free!

Cons:

Could maybe explain about the drop-down box for domain etc.

I've built and sold an SEO-driven apartment hunting site, run SEO for places like RetailMeNot, and launched an SEO tool company (Buzzstream), and I still can't get enough link building data! If you can't afford to pay for a tool, this is a no-brainer place to start. The reality is that promoting your site and getting links is harder than ever, but just as important as ever.

Pros:

Free data, what's not to like? Modern, fast UI.

Cons:

Would be awesome if it integrated with Buzzstream.
