About bklink

bklink is a forensic backlink audit tool that checks every link you paid for — whether it is followed, still there, and hosted on an independent site — for SEO agencies, PR teams and brands that buy placements.

What bklink does

Backlink audits

Upload a list of placements — a CSV, a PDF report from a vendor, or a spreadsheet — or scan a domain for the links already pointing at it. bklink fetches every linking page and records whether the link is followed, nofollow or sponsored, removed, or on a dead page, so you know what you actually received.

Shared-server network detection

Every publication is resolved to the IP address, hosting network and country it serves from. Ten or more domains on one address is flagged as a network, which is how a list of "independent" news sites turns out to be one operator — in bklink's public sample report, 70% of 173 placements shared a server.

Link valuation

The profile is re-priced against what comparable links sell for, adjusted for traffic and category, and discounted for co-hosting and syndicated copies. The result is a range, so you can compare what you paid with what the links are worth.

Status re-checks

Re-run the live checks on an existing report for $1.00 to catch links that were removed or stripped after you paid. The report dates every change, which is what you show a vendor when you ask for a replacement.

Google index checks and indexing requests

Check whether Google has indexed a list of pages for $0.01 a URL, then request indexing for the ones it has not. Requests are verified against Google's results once a day for five days, and every URL not indexed by then is refunded.

Disavow files and shareable reports

Turn the links you do not want into a Google-ready disavow file, and export any report as a PDF or a share link for a client. The report you send is the same evidence you audited.

What makes bklink different

You pay per audit, not per month

An audit costs $1.00 for up to 410 domains and never more than $1.92, with no subscription. Ahrefs' cheapest plan is $29 a month (Lite, its first full plan, is $129), Semrush starts at $139 a month, Majestic at $49.99 a month and SE Ranking at $129 a month — and none of them sells a single report without a subscription.

Every link is fetched live, not read from an index

bklink loads each page you paid a link on at the moment you run the audit. Ahrefs, Semrush, Majestic and SE Ranking report links from their own crawler indexes — Majestic's Fresh Index covers the last 120 days — so a link removed last week can still show as live; the one competitor that re-crawls per report, LinkResearchTools, starts at $599 a month.

Networks are named, not just counted

Index-based tools report how many referring IPs and subnets a site has. bklink groups the specific placements you bought by the server they share and names the cluster, because ten "different" publications on one address are one purchase, not ten.

Numbers are labelled for what they are

Domain Rating on bklink is Ahrefs' DR, read from the Ahrefs API, and nothing else is ever called DR. Valuations are ranges of comparable sale prices, stated as estimates, never a single number presented as an appraisal.

Indexing is refunded at five days, not seven or fourteen

bklink refunds every URL not indexed at its own address after five days, and refuses URLs that cannot be indexed as submitted before it charges. SpeedyIndex refunds after its 7-day report, IndexMeNow after 10 days and Rapid URL Indexer after 14 days.

Who uses bklink

  • SEO and digital PR agencies of 2 to 50 people that buy guest posts and press-release placements for clients and need to prove what was delivered.
  • In-house SEO and content teams at B2B SaaS and e-commerce companies that audit link vendors before renewing them.
  • Founders and marketing leads at startups who bought a press-release distribution package and want to know what it produced.
  • Link-building vendors who want an independent report to hand their own clients.
  • Consultants cleaning up a site's link profile, who need a disavow list backed by evidence.

How bklink started

bklink launched on 5 August 2026 to answer a question most link buyers never check: whether the placements they paid for are real. Its first public audit, now the sample report, covered 173 placements bought through a press-release distributor — 161 of them two articles republished, none of them followed, and $0 of estimated value.

The company

bklink is founder-led and operated by Immortal Reality PA LLC, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It also publishes mxverify, a public ledger of how links on PR and guest-post publications behave when audited.

How bklink works

  • Onboarding: sign up with Google or your email, no card. Your account starts with $1.00 of credit; name a project and the next screen is the upload.
  • Turnaround: the median audit has finished in about two minutes for roughly 100 links; lists of over a thousand take up to half an hour. The report fills in while it runs.
  • What you receive: an in-app report, a PDF, and a share link for your client, plus a disavow file if you want one.
  • Payment: top up your wallet from $10 by card through Stripe. Every action shows its price before it runs, and unspent balance is refundable.
  • Communication: email support@bklink.uk. You reach the founder directly, and we aim to reply within two business days.

Frequently asked questions

What is bklink?

bklink is a forensic backlink audit tool. It fetches every page you paid a link on, records whether the link is followed, stripped to nofollow, removed or on a dead page, and resolves each publication to the server it runs on so networks of co-hosted sites show up.

How much does a backlink audit cost?

$1.00 per audit for up to 410 domains, rising to a ceiling of $1.92 however large the list. New accounts get $1.00 of credit, which covers one full audit, with no card required.

Do I need a subscription?

No. bklink is a prepaid wallet: you top up (from $10), pay per action, and any unspent balance is refundable. Nothing renews.

How is bklink different from Ahrefs or Semrush?

Ahrefs and Semrush report links from their own crawler indexes and sell monthly subscriptions. bklink fetches each linking page when you run the audit, groups the placements you bought by the server they share, and charges per audit.

How long does an audit take?

The median audit on bklink has finished in about two minutes for roughly 100 links. Lists of over a thousand links take up to half an hour; the report fills in as it runs.

Is the link valuation an appraisal?

No. It is an estimate of what comparable links have sold for, discounted for co-hosting and syndicated copies, shown as a range. It is not a prediction of rankings or of what anyone will pay.

What happens if an indexing request does not work?

bklink checks Google once a day for five days. Any URL not indexed at its own address when the five days end is refunded to your wallet automatically, whatever the reason.
