What are the different types of links?
Let's explore the types of links highlighted by our link counter.
External links
External links are when other websites link to yours. These links are highly valuable as they serve as trust signals from other sites.
When Google detects several high-quality sites linking to yours, it sees these as endorsements for your website.
Internal links
Internal links guide users and Google through your site. Without them, it takes longer for Google to index every page, while using internal links helps Google find, crawl, and index your pages faster.
The faster your pages are indexed, the sooner they appear in Google search results.
Internal links not only assist Google in discovering pages on your site, but also help users navigate your site.
You can use internal links to direct users to related content, keeping them on your site longer and sending positive signals to Google.
Dofollow links
A dofollow link allows search engines (and users) to follow it to the destination website. These links pass “link juice,” acting as endorsements for your site.
Update date
Update date shows when the domain name was last renewed, including both date and time. This part of the domain age checker report displays the time in 12-hour format and the date as year, month, and day.
Nofollow links
A nofollow link doesn’t increase your site's authority since it doesn’t pass any link juice.
You can mark a link as nofollow in your code by adding a rel=“nofollow” tag.
Why is it important to count your links?
Now that you know the types of links our link counter tracks, you can understand why it’s beneficial to count them.
The link counter helps you gain insights into sites linking to yours, how many are passing link juice, and how many are not.
This overview can improve your understanding of your current search engine rankings and assist in setting future marketing goals. For instance, if your site has only three external links, you could aim to secure two more high-quality external links by the end of the quarter.
