Backlink checker

[sitandstay]

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering what sites you use to check your backlinks? At the moment I am using http://www.backlinkwatch.com/

Just wondering if any of you knew of others?

Thanks

 

[thecube]

you may use google webmaster tools!

 

[jaydeee]

I am using backlinkwatch, seocentro.com and spyglass

 

[robinwood002]

for back link checker use this command link:site name

 

[fisicx]

for back link checker use this command link:site name

Pointless I'm afraid, the link: command has been broken for year.

I quite like linkdiagonsis.com

Yahoo does a pretty good job as well:

linkdomain:mysite.com -site:mysite.com

The -site:mysite.com is there to exclude any internal links.

You can also use this tool for finding backlinks

http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/

link: - won't provide you with any accurate info. Google doesn't like to share its database you know.

I have found (after exhaustive searching!) MajesticSEO is the best web-based and Ranktracker is the best desktop (as it incorporates listing from other dbs such as Google Places)

I am also using this site for checking the back links for our site.This also helps for competitor analysis which is very much required for beating the competitors.From this, you can check the back link of the competitors and also you can get more sites for your posting job.

I use backlinkwatch too, it a good free site.

Results are scraped from yahoo site exporer, like many backlink tools

I use opensiteexplorer, Yahoo site explorer and GWMT.

 

[samuelsun]

Hi, I use bluebacklinks.com,it is very best for checking back links, here you can also check your Do-follow and No-follow back links separately.

 

[jhardy2008]

yahoo.com is best tool for check website backlinks.

 

[goliveuk]

I use :
Yahoo site explorer
SEO SpyGalss
iWeb Tool
and I am happy with all of them!

[gilchrist]

I am using yahoo site explorer....And traffic travis. They are working excellent for me.

 

[Moody Alex]

I like to use opensiteexplorer

and I haven't used anything else since this seems to do
the job just fine. I am interested to know if this is the
best tool out there though. What do others think?

 

[nikky78]

I`m using google webmaster tools and i`m really satisfied. That give you almost everything.

 

[manoj03]

I always use yahoo.com/yahoo site explorer and MajesticSEO for checking back links

Hi, I use bluebacklinks.com ... here you can also check your Do-follow and No-follow back links separately.

+1 for bluebacklinks. Bad bit - You can update report of 1 website every 7 days only :/

But, if you are serious in this business - I would suggest to get SEO power suite - superb collection of onsite and offsite anlytics tools.

... i suppose - you could get free trials on their website. try it and you will see the true images of seo reports

... by the way - it is beeing used by many black hats as well (guess why).

all the best,
Helmuts

Yes, I think Ranktracker is the most useful one. Because, I tried it many times. But, somehow I'd encountered some failures stating that (Temp. Block ...). What makes it cause? I tried to find some answers in there site but still I don't find any answers.

Try using proxies - it should help with getting blocked

try to google some answers how to do that - or, if you know nothing about proxies - start with youtube tutorials

majesticseo . com or backlinkwatch . com
Have you got an account with google webmaster tools?

[shanegabriel]

I would agree to jaddee.. ranktracker and backlinkwatch is still the best tool for checking you ranks and backlinks.

 

[shanegabriel]

After minutes reading the thread and google-ing the sites and tools mention.. I can't browse MajesticSEO... :|

You need to create an account with MajesticSeo. It's free

 

[Esk247]

Linkdiagnosis only works in firefox..and won't work with the latest version.

Not sure if there is a guaranteed way of checking. Lots of programs that say they do 'this and that' but they hardly ever do.

 

[shanegabriel]

I think there are some tools they used for that.. Are there someone knows about this tools used, at least one?:|

 

[harooon]

Webmasters tools is a cool tool for that I think, you can see the sites linking to you are also doing well with google and change deals accordingly imo

 

[Jet Virtual]

I usually use backlinkwatch, but I recently discovered popuri.us which gives you backlinks as well as Google Page Rank and Alexa rating, among other things.

 

[snehaseo]

I use open site explorer and yahoo site explorer tool for finding back links.

What is your purpose in checking backlinks?

As a general backlink checker I would recommend majesticseo.com. Their fresh index is great if you are actively link building.

Depending on how you are building your backlinks you would probably get more benefit by keeping a list of all the URLs where you have built backlinks and then checking which of those URLs are indexed in Google.

In many cases it is not surprising to see less than 20% of the backlinks you have built getting indexed by Google. If you find that is the case then you might get more value getting your current backlinks indexed.

They just released a new version - it's much better than before (and it was pretty good then!)

I see... I think that Link-Assistant products has auto update capability. I found out that every 2-3 days they have updates. But still I encountered this kind of errors. :|

The recent change is a major overhaul - the first in years. Also they have a pretty responsive forum (in my experience) which could help with your problem.

 

[Smith_Paul]

i always use Yahoo search engine for viewing my backlinks it shows up to 1000 backlinks..

 

[realitybytes]

I use open site explorer and yahoo site explorer tool for finding back links.

"Open site explorer" is ok.... but don't forget the "Yahoo site explorer" will be "as reports suggest" closing at the end of the year or when the full transition of Yahoo & Bing allience completes in the UK.

 

[Jamesjackk]

There are many tools are available to check backlinks but according to me the best tool is backlink watch and yahoo site explorer.These two tools are really very useful to check backlinks of any web site.

 

[markhamilton]

I use yahoo site explorer , google webmaster tool and backlinkwatch tool for backlink checker.

 

[rishisab]

I've been using Seocentro for quite a long time. Its very fast and to the point.
