You can check the number of backlinks to your WordPress and Blogspot blogs using various online tools and services. Here are some popular options:

1. **Google Search Console:** If you have your blog verified in Google Search Console, you can find information about your website's backlinks under the "Links" section. It provides data on both internal and external links to your site.

2. **Ahrefs:** Ahrefs is a powerful SEO tool that allows you to check backlinks to your website. They offer a free backlink checker tool that provides basic information, or you can subscribe to their premium service for more detailed data.

3. **Moz Link Explorer:** Moz offers a Link Explorer tool that can help you analyze backlinks to your blog. It provides valuable insights into the quality and quantity of backlinks.

4. **Semrush:** Semrush is another comprehensive SEO tool that offers a backlink analysis feature. You can use their Backlink Analytics tool to check backlinks to your blog.

5. **Ubersuggest:** Ubersuggest is a free SEO tool that provides basic backlink information, including the number of backlinks, referring domains, and more.

### Google Search Console:

1. **Accessing Backlink Data:**
   - Log in to your [Google Search Console](https://search.google.com/search-console/).
   - Select the property (website) you want to check.
   - Navigate to "Links" in the left-hand menu.
   - Click on "External Links" to see backlink data.

### Interpreting Backlink Data:

- **Number of Backlinks:** This represents the total count of external websites linking to your blog.
 
- **Referring Domains:** Indicates the number of unique domains that have at least one link pointing to your site. A higher number of referring domains can be beneficial.

- **Anchor Text:** Look at the anchor text of the backlinks. Diverse and relevant anchor texts contribute positively to SEO.

- **Quality of Backlinks:** Not all backlinks are equal. Assess the authority of the websites linking to you. High-quality, authoritative sites are more valuable.

- **New and Lost Links:** Monitor changes over time. An increase in new links is positive, while a significant loss of links may warrant investigation.

If you're using Ahrefs to check your backlinks, here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

### Using Ahrefs:

1. **Visit Ahrefs Website:**
   - Go to the [Ahrefs website](https://ahrefs.com/).

2. **Enter Your Blog URL:**
   - On the Ahrefs homepage, you'll find a search bar. Enter the URL of your WordPress or Blogspot blog and hit Enter.

3. **Explore Backlink Overview:**
   - In the dashboard, look for the "Backlink" or "Backlink Profile" section.
   - Here, you'll find information on referring domains, backlinks, and other relevant metrics.

4. **Analyze Referring Domains:**
   - Check the number of referring domains. A higher number from diverse sources is generally positive.

5. **Review Anchor Texts:**
   - Examine the anchor texts used in backlinks. Relevant and diverse anchor texts are beneficial for SEO.

6. **Check New and Lost Backlinks:**
   - Explore the new and lost backlinks sections. This helps you understand recent changes in your backlink profile.

### Additional Tips:

- **Disavow Harmful Links:**
  - If you find spammy or low-quality backlinks, consider using Google's Disavow Tool to disassociate your site from them.

- **Regular Monitoring:**
  - Schedule periodic checks to monitor your backlink profile. This helps you stay informed about any changes and take corrective actions if needed.

here's some more information on using Semrush to check your backlinks:

### Using Semrush:

1. **Visit Semrush Website:**
   - Go to the [Semrush website](https://www.semrush.com/).

2. **Create or Log In to Your Account:**
   - If you have a Semrush account, log in. If not, you can sign up for a free or premium account.

3. **Access Backlink Analytics:**
   - Once you're logged in, find the "Backlink Analytics" feature. It's typically located in the main dashboard or under the "Link Building" section.

4. **Enter Your Blog's URL:**
   - Enter the URL of your WordPress or Blogspot blog into the provided search bar and click "Search."

5. **Review Backlink Data:**
   - Semrush will generate a report with detailed information about your backlinks, including the number of backlinks, referring domains, anchor texts, and more.

6. **Analyze Backlink Quality:**
   - Pay attention to the quality of backlinks. Semrush often provides a metric like "Domain Authority" to help you assess the authority of referring domains.

7. **Explore Competitors:**
   - Semrush allows you to compare your backlink profile with competitors. This can provide insights into where you stand in your niche.

8. **Set Up Alerts:**
   - You can set up alerts in Semrush to receive notifications about new backlinks or changes in your backlink profile.

### Additional Tips:

- **Regular Monitoring:**
  - Continuously monitor your backlinks to stay updated on any changes. This helps you identify opportunities for improvement.

- **Disavow Harmful Links:**
  - If you discover low-quality or spammy backlinks, consider using Google's Disavow Tool to disassociate your site from them.

I checked webmaster tools, to know number of backlink for my blog. But I can't find any backlinks, I have promoted the content through Social Bookmarking, Directory Submission, Image Submission, etc. But non of those links are visible as backlink in webmaster tool.

Can you tell me the possible reason for the same.
