To tell if your backlinks are working, monitor your website’s performance. Use tools like Google Analytics to check for increased traffic from referral links and to check keyword ranking. You should observe changes in your search engine rankings for target keywords. Try to always check the domain authority of the sites linking to you using tools like Moz or Ahrefs. You should keep eyes at metrics like the number of clicks and impressions in Google Search Console. Analyze if the backlinks are driving relevant traffic to your site. Always ensure the links are still live and haven’t been removed. Consistent improvements in rankings, traffic, and engagement indicate your backlinks are working effectively.
