Frequently Asked Questions

How can I see the links to a site?
In order to generate link reports on a site, you must add it to your account. You can add a site from the "My Dashboard" page. Simply enter the domain name in the field above the "Sites" table and click "Add my Site." To complete this action, you will also have to confirm that you wish to spend one of your site credits to view this link profile.

What are site credits and how are they used?
In order to add a site to your account and view its link profile, you must spend one site credit. You will spend one credit regardless of how many links to the site there are. Pretty soon, we will allow users to verify that a site they added is, in fact, their own. Once this is in place, users will be able to go through a simple verification process for their domain (see below) and, once it is verified, get that site credit added back into their account.

Why are all of my links not showing on your analysis?
Our spiders are constantly working overtime to index the entire link structure of the web, which is by no means a small task. Nearly your entire link profile should be available within a few days. You can also help speed up the process by verifying that a particular site is yours (see verification process below) and importing your Google Webmaster Tools account (coming soon).

How long does it take to show all my backlinks?
We begin researching links to a site as soon as you add it from the "My Dashboard" page. The vast majority of your link profile should be available within 24 hours, if not much sooner. If that's not fast enough, importing Google Webmaster Tools CSV's will work to expedite the process (coming soon).

How do I verify my site?
Verifying your site with WhoLinksToMe.com is easy and can be done in any of these three ways:
- You can embed our image code into your site
- You can upload an HTML file into your site
- Add a WhoLinksToMe.com metatag to your site
As soon as you've completed one of these three steps, click the "Verify" button at the bottom of the verification page and finish the process.
