Sponsored link checker.
Paste a page, such as a sponsored article you've paid for or one you're about to buy. We'll list every link to another site and how it's marked, check search engines can index the page, and look for a sponsored label.
Questions
What does rel="sponsored" mean?
It tells search engines a link was paid for. Google asks for it on paid links; links marked sponsored or nofollow don't pass ranking credit, and that's the honest default for sponsored content.
What is a dofollow link?
A link with no sponsored, nofollow or ugc value in its rel attribute. Search engines may count it as an endorsement. On a paid placement, Google treats an unmarked link as a link scheme.
Why does indexing matter?
A page search engines can't index won't be found in search, and AI assistants that search the web won't see it either. A noindex tag or header quietly hides a placement.
