Alexa Alternative : Check backlinks for free with RankSignals

All of us are fully aware how crucial it is to build unique and organic backlinks/linkbacks for improving our search engine ranking.Most of us do link building but don't check the status of backlinks.I mean how many we have.Are the backlinks there or removed ? we cannot do it for every individual site.So there are tools like Alexa which are there to give a complete analysis and updates of our backlinks as well as others .But wait Alexa is not a free service .It is premium.

Although Alexa has a free version but it has too little features.The prices of premium plans are not to mention because they are too high for a newbie blogger.So what can you do ?.This question was troubling me for a few days and so I googled it to find a free substitute.I came across this super simple tool named RankSignals which has really simplified my backlinks checkout process.

Apart from checking backlinks, Alexa ranks sites according to their traffic and backlinks.But RankSingnals is only a backlink checker tool which is available for free of cost.
