Can Monitor Backlinks help me check if there are changes in my backlinks status? 

You spend a lot of time and effort to earn good backlinks, and it's a big problem if a backlink disappears. It's important to monitor them so that you can do something and preserve your investment. Monitor Backlinks makes it easy. 

The way Monitor Backlinks works is that:

1. you input your domain
2. all of the backlinks get recorded
3. we regularly monitor your backlinks
4. you keep track of the status changes in your backlinks

How can I track the changes in my backlinks status?

There are 2 ways to check:
