[eyedsign]

good to know all those things really need those tools as well for my article site and gaming site

[maxmed]

Try backlinkwatch or yahoo site explorer !

[Ducksauce]

I have just run backlinkwatch, can anyone tell me what OBL stands for?

Also, I get a (...) blue hyperlink in the page rank column. When I click on it, it leads to a page with no decent information on it. How do you interpreted that, I am wondering it if it is for a paid version only or something?

[Psykryph]

backlinkwatch is absolutely atrocious and horrible. It's the worse backlink checker website out there, seriously.

I recently have come across a fairly new website called ahrefs.com that is excellent. I used to use majesticseo.com, but they changed a few things to the way they displayed links that I didn't like.

[chasnsx]

OBL stands for Out Bound Links. The more out bound links a page has, the less link juice it can give you if you leave a link there.

As far as finding pagerank the only way I have been able to do it is to visit the page with the link on it and check the rank in the SEOquake bar from the Firefox plugin.

Thanks

I use BacklinkWatch & MajesticSEO.

[Jeremy S]

There are a few different programs, unfortunately many of them are inaccurate.

The ones I have had success with are all very expensive, but well worth it. It allows me to spy on my competition successfully and overtake them with steady backlinks.

Plus, once you pay, you can use it over and over to analyze your competition from the top sites in your niche. Just make sure to cross reference it with google, because it should show the top 10 sites.

SEO Quake is good and if it is a competitors site then you can go into scrapebox and scrape with yahoo all there backlinks and use them for your own site. Just use a custom footprint. linkdomain:site.com You will get all there backlinks.
