In the backlink counter tool, there are only two sources of backlinks: those added manually and those imported into the crawlers tab. For both, you need to set up a backlink campaign. It's straightforward; click the 'Create campaign' button and follow the instructions.
Manually imported external links are those that you're aware of and have saved in Excel or other data sheets. You can upload them directly into your campaign for counting.
Another category of reciprocal links is acquired from various crawlers like Google backlink counter (Google Search Console), Ahrefs, Semrush, Majestic, and other less popular ones. The key distinction with links obtained from these sources is that some of them emerge without your direct action. You'll need to download files containing links from each of these tools and then upload those files to the Linkbox backlink counter. To do this, utilize the Crawlers tab, which includes sections for uploading files from GSC and Ahrefs. For other crawlers, the Linkbox backlink counter provides a Temporary tab.
