Stop Link Rot

Backlink Monitoring
& Index Status Tracker

Backlinks don’t stay indexed forever. IndexChecker’s data shows 42% of backlinks drop out of Google’s index within 6 months of being built. Re-check your link projects anytime and see exactly which links are still carrying SEO value — and which ones silently dropped out.

Why Links Silently Stop Working

Three ways a backlink can pass zero SEO value while still looking “live.”

Ghost Links

A link returns a 200 OK on the publisher’s site but was never picked up by Google’s index — it exists for a visitor clicking through, but not for the algorithm.

Crawl Budget Cuts

Google reduces crawl priority for low-quality publishers (forums, Web 2.0 sites) and often drops their pages from the index after around 90 days.

Catching It Early

Re-checking a project regularly and comparing results against the last check is the only reliable way to catch a drop before it quietly costs you rankings.

How Backlink Tracking Works

No hidden automation — here’s exactly what happens when you re-check a project.

1

Re-check Your Project

Run a new check on any existing project whenever you want — there’s no fixed schedule, you control when it runs.

2

Get an Email Report

Opt in to receive an email when the check finishes, showing how many links are indexed and how many aren’t.

3

See What Changed

If the project was checked before, IndexChecker compares both checks and flags every URL that moved — Not Indexed → Indexed or Indexed → Not Indexed.

How Much Is Silent Link Decay Costing You?

Enter your own numbers — the calculator applies the 42% average de-indexing rate to estimate what you could be losing if you never re-check your links.
