Building backlinks without tracking them is a bit like running ads without checking the results — you're doing the work, but you have no idea what's actually paying off. A simple tracker fixes that.
What to Track
●
Where the link is coming from
●
Which page on your site it points
to
●
The anchor text used
●
Whether it's live yet, and whether
it's dofollow or nofollow
●
Whether it's actually been indexed
by Google
That's it. Keep it simple enough
that updating it becomes part of your normal workflow, not a separate chore
you'll skip when things get busy.
We've already built this out as
a free link building tracker template you can
grab and start using today — no signup, works in Excel or Google Sheets.
