bklink docsbklink overview
A forensic backlink audit tool that checks every link you placed — followed, still there, and on an independent site — and values it.
bklink checks the backlinks you paid for or placed. For every placement it records:
- Whether the link is there and followed. Each linking page is fetched live when the audit runs, not read from a crawler's index. A link can be followed, nofollow or sponsored, removed, or on a dead page.
- Where the publication really runs. Every publication is resolved to its server's address, hosting network and country. Ten or more distinct domains on one address are checked for footprints of one owner before the group is called a network.
- What the placement is worth. Each link is valued with BV, the model mxverify publishes. See How bklink values links.
Who it is for
- SEO and digital PR agencies that buy guest posts and press-release placements for clients and need to prove what was delivered.
- In-house teams auditing link vendors before renewing them.
- Founders who ran a press-release package and want to know what it produced.
- Link vendors who want an independent report for their own clients.
- Consultants cleaning up a link profile who need a disavow list backed by evidence.
What it is not
- Not a rank tracker, keyword tool or link-building marketplace.
- Valuations are estimates, not appraisals. They describe what a link is worth to rankings under a published model, not what a search engine thinks or what anyone will pay.
- Domain Rating is Ahrefs'. On bklink, DR means Ahrefs Domain Rating from the Ahrefs API, and no other score is ever labelled DR.
