Backlink Checker Features List
The backlink checker overview page will display the backlinks and the referring domains:
Backlinks - the total number of inbound links to this domain from other websites.

Filter and Sort by
The seobase backlink checker tool contains many filters to sort the backlinks by.
The drop-down list includes:

One link per domain - shows only one like per domain.

All backlinks - display the whole website backlinks.
DoFollow backlinks - display the dofollow backlinks only.

The Rank Filter
Domain Rank (DR)- This rank is calculated based on the node ranking algorithms used in the original Google PageRank algorithms.
The Domain Rank scale is:
25-35: this score is usually received by newly created domains with small numbers of backlinks.
200-300: this score is usually received by large domains with significant numbers of backlinks from authoritative pages.
+500: this score is usually received by huge domains with significant backlinks from authoritative pages. Very few domains in our database have such rank scores.
Page Rank (PR) - is also calculated based on the node ranking algorithms, the method used in the original Google PageRank algorithms.
Spam Score (SS) - indicates the average spam score of all the pages within the domains and the subdomains.
First Seen - the first time seobase robots could identify the backlink.
Last Seen - the last time seobase robots could confirm the backlink exists.
All the above fields can be sorted differently by clicking on the small arrows beside each one. Those tiny up/down arrows sort the backlinks from the lowest to the highest rank.
