Backlinks shows you the number of links pointing to any URL, for free. From total link count, to .edu and .gov links to even the exact number of unique referring domains, dive into your competitors' backlinks, fine tune the results and export to CSV.
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?
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!
@nadavdakner thanks for the kind words. My goal is to make SEO easy and affordable (free) for everyone. Especially startups.

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?
@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. ;)
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 !
Very useful product. I am already using Ubersuggest for keyword research purpose from a long time. Adding this feature is a boon for us along with kW analysis as before I need to purchase the full premium version of ahrefs, semrush, long tail pro and what not, to go into the deep.
Thanks! @neilpatel.
P.S. I wonder on the off chance that you will keep this freemium perpetually, or monetize it in future with new pricing premium plans in order to utilize it further?
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.
From my perspective as a guy that needs to do SEO from time to time: Super impressive. From my perspective as a UI/UX designer: Super impressive, too. In the SEO world, ease of use and beautification should not be underestimated.
Hey Neil,
Thanks for this product.
It's really helpful for the marketers who have high potential but are unable to afford high priced SEO tools.
I did try to compare the results with some of the paid tools and though not matching completely with it, it still matched a lot of results, which means we can definitely trust it.
Based on the experience with Uber Suggest, I am sure this tool will go ahead and become more accurate with its results.
I would suggest not to put the Good/ Bad tag along with the website data as that may work negatively for new websites who may otherwise are working hard to create excellent content but have low traffic because they have just started. A data with 'bad' tag may create a wrong impression in the mind of users take a quick call based on just the traffic data.
Rest, it's all good and I would definitely suggest it to other marketers.
Thanks for creating a product that can help masses :)
Regards,
Taral Patel
