Views

Referring domains and anchors in four views

Every link, one row per referring domain, the target's top pages and the anchor text mix.

  • Read the trend. Totals carry a 12-month trend, and a monthly chart shows new and lost links with the net change.
  • Spot new and lost links. New and lost chips filter the fetched rows, and lost links stay visible, struck through, for 90 days.
  • Read every flag. Each row shows nofollow, UGC, sponsored, image and sitewide flags next to DA, spam score and first-seen date.

Where the numbers come from

bisibility runs no crawler of its own.

  • DataForSEO

    Backlink totals, monthly new and lost links, link rows, domain rank and spam score

    Cached 24 hours; refreshing pays again

  • DA is DataForSEO's referring-domain rank from 0 to 100 and Spam is its spam score, not Moz Domain Authority or Ahrefs Domain Rating.

What it does not do yet

  • New and lost counts cover only the rows you fetched, not the whole profile.
  • Profile health counts broken backlinks and broken pages, but there is no list of broken links yet.
  • No link gap, disavow export, link prospecting, saved views or bulk actions.

Questions about backlink analysis

How do I check a competitor's backlinks?

Open Backlinks, enter the competitor's domain and read the price on the button before you run. Then switch to referring domains, filter for dofollow links from domains with authority 40-100, and export the result as CSV.

What is the difference between backlinks and referring domains?

Backlinks counts every link to a site; referring domains counts the distinct sites those links come from. The referring domains view gives each linking site one row, so one site with hundreds of sitewide links does not look like hundreds of sources.

Is this an open source backlink checker?

Yes. bisibility is open source under AGPL-3.0, and the same app runs on Cloud or on your own server. Backlink data comes from the DataForSEO backlink index, fetched with your own DataForSEO account.

  • Backlinks guide
  • What is DataForSEO?

Is there a free backlink checker, and what does an analysis cost?

No. Each analysis is paid: about $0.08 for a site's top 100 links, about $0.05 for an exact page and about $0.11 for 1,000 links, plus 30% on credits. DataForSEO's own $1 trial credit covers about 13 analyses, then a $50 minimum top-up applies.

  • See pricing

How are new and lost backlinks found, and can I monitor them?

Status comes from DataForSEO's own markers, not from comparing your snapshots. There is no scheduled monitoring or backlink alert yet: each snapshot is a run you start, from the app, the API, the CLI or an agent.
