Link to trustworthy sites

Linking out to low-quality or spammy domains can hurt your own credibility.

Nofollow risky links

Use rel="nofollow" or "sponsored" for ads, paid placements, or unverified sources.

Open in a new tab thoughtfully

target="_blank" keeps visitors on your site, but pair it with rel="noopener" for security.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Have questions about the external links checker? Here are the most common ones our users ask before getting started.

What counts as an external link?

An external link is any <a> tag whose href points to a different domain than the page you're checking — as opposed to an internal link, which stays on the same site. This tool ignores anchor-only links, mailto links, and javascript links, keeping only real links that send visitors elsewhere.

Are external links good or bad for SEO?

Neither by default — it depends on quality. Linking to authoritative, relevant sources can build trust with both readers and search engines, while linking to low-quality, unrelated, or spammy sites can hurt your credibility. The key is reviewing where your outbound links actually point.

Should I nofollow all external links?

No — nofollowing every external link can look unnatural and denies credit to sources you're genuinely citing. Reserve nofollow (or sponsored/ugc) for paid links, ads, and user-generated content you can't vouch for, and let organic, editorial links pass follow signal normally.

Why does the number of unique domains matter?

A page linking to dozens of different external domains can look like a link farm to search engines, especially if those links aren't clearly relevant to the content. Reviewing the domain count alongside the list helps you spot pages that may need cleanup.

Does this check links deeper than one page?

No — this checks the external links found on the single page you enter. For a site-wide view across every page, run SEOJuicer's full website audit instead.
