Basically, you’ve got these tools, right? SmallSeoTools, Ahrefs, and a bunch of others, promising to let you check your backlinks. Backlinks, for those who don’t know, are basically when another website links to your site. Google (and other search engines) see this as a vote of confidence. More votes, higher ranking. Makes sense, right?
But then comes the “fake” part. It seems some shady sites are mentioned alongside these legitimate backlink checkers, and there’s all this talk of “rolex copy watches for sale” and “fake bulova watches.” What’s going on here? Well, my guess is that these less-than-reputable sites are trying to piggyback on the popularity of backlink checkers to promote their own… questionable… products.
Like, imagine you’re searching for info on a good mechanic, and suddenly you’re seeing ads for knock-off iPhones. It’s kinda like that. It’s distracting, and frankly, a bit annoying.
Ahrefs mentioning they’ve got the second most active web crawler after Google is interesting. It kinda implies that they are more reliable, and you can trust them more. You know, instead of some random site that’s also hawking fake watches. Just saying.
Honestly, I reckon the “backlink watch fake” thing is a mashup of legitimate SEO tools being advertised alongside dodgy stuff. It’s like the internet equivalent of walking down a street where every other store is selling suspiciously cheap designer handbags. You gotta be careful where you click, you know? Do your research!
And speaking of research, the fact that some of these sites *offer* a free demo before you have to cough up any dough is a good sign. It’s better than just blindly trusting some site that looks like it was designed in 1998, right?
