Inbound Watch finds the websites that link to yours and keeps checking the links are still there. When a real one adds a link — or takes one away — you get a short email. The spam is filtered out.

That's what we saw across our own websites. Most links that point at small sites come from automated spam pages. Inbound Watch keeps the real ones and quietly drops the rest — so the numbers you see actually mean something.

New links

A new link? You'll hear about it.

When a real website links to yours, Hoot tells you who linked and to which page — the same day on Pro, in Monday's summary on Free.

Lost links

A link goes missing? You'll know why.

We visit every page that links to you, every day. If the link is gone, you hear what happened — so you can ask for it back.
