I have just finished a huge campaign for my new site, and I am trying to find an effective way to check backlinks. Google Webmasters tools and Yahoo Site Explore give me COMPLETELY different answers. Which one is most reliable for SEO?

    I find the most reliable to be MajesticSEO.

    Im not sure if Yahoo Site Explorer is updating anymore because yahoo are closing the service down soon. It doesn't seem to be updating, looking at the SEOQuake toolbar.

      MajesticSEO is a good but provide limited option for free account sign up.

      basically i check manually but i think it's a time consuming.

      Hi fellows,

      Please, realize that the OP is banned, probably not without any reason. I saw he started many different threads today, and is banned also today.

      So, please, don't feed the troll.

      Best,

        Banned or not, I'm looking for the same info. The Yahoo has to old backlinks, because Yahoo Explorer doesn't work anymore. I was looking for the MajesticSEO but it's to expensive for me at that moment. Is there any alternative for MajesticSEO ?

        Regards.

          As I know, MajesticSEO has a free version you can use (of course, depending on your need of data).

          An alternative solution may be for you SEOmoz, and you can use it free for 30 days.

          I don't use one either, so I cannot express an opinion about them.

          All the best,

          Sandor

      I have tested SEO SpyGlass as well. I am a strong believer in competitive analysis. The same tools you use to spy on your competition can be used to spy on yourself to make sure that you are using effective strategies to properly position yourself. It can also reveal loop holes in your strategies.

      I remember some time ago, I hired a guy to build back links for me even though I could do it myself. I checked his work. Some of the back links he create were extremely poor quality.

      I've been using SEO spyglass for a couple months now and it is a really good tool. It does take a little while to complete tasks but it's worth the wait.

  • In my opinion, We should consider Google Webmaster Tools for the backlink count. If you want to rank on Google just check which links Google are considering as Backlink.

    Why we should look at backlinks on other tools. They just give the number of links submitted in various websites not the actual backlinks which Google consider as ranking signal. This is my thinking though.

      You are right at your place but i think Goolge hides alot of information from us thats why we should not rely on Google Webmaster only

      For checking back links I use backlinkwatch a great tool to find your backlinks... Google also show you the current and recently cached backlinks built for your website. Use the following syntex:

      link:<space><yourdomain name>

      If you don't give space then it can show the backlinks of your website only not the current backlinks. I am sure you would like it. If you find that your site comes repeatedly in the search pages then use the following syntex:

      link:<space><your domain name><space><hypen><your domain name>

    One of the easiest way is to use an online tool like Backlink Checker

    This will give you dofollow/nofollow indicator, anchor text and also optional other outbound links from that page.

      For a free tool, SERPAttacks is good.

      They also have a paid version if you like the free one and decide to upgrade. I have an affiliate link for it, but I wont post it in here. If you want my link just PM me, I'd be glad to send it over.

      I personally use Scrapebox though.

          seo spyglass barely seems to find any of the real links
          same with IBP
          Google WMT can only show it for your own sites.
          Majestic seems accurate, but I cant view the full amount of data.
          OpenSiteExplorer is too slow to update their DB

          Who has the most comprehensive data, and frequently updated?

      Now Google is the only hope to check the competitor's backlinks (well not all) or the tools based on Google's services that can show you the results in more details like with PR etc. You can look at a similar one here Backlink Checker with dofollow indicator.

        To check on my own site, I use google webmaster.

        To spy on others, I will use backlinkwatch. But it only updates after a while. Most of the newer site will not have the data. Sometimes when I am desperate, I will search for it, site:url.

        All these are free. Any other methods you may let me know too.

        Spyglass is actually the best of "the rest"

        but there is NO way I would trust my results to backlinkwatch or scrapebox...just NOT enough data...

        although, scrape does a pretty good job finding citations for my local clients...

    Yes, BacklinkWatch.com and Majestic SEO.

    But mostly I just look at results and see who is ahead of me. Then I take a look at their Alexa data. IMHO Alexa gives you some of the best information out there. Is it quantified sufficiently? Not for some people, but it gives a good relative snapshot which frankly is usually all I really need!

    Just sayin' that I think we tend to overthink some of this stuff!

    Hi,

    I have 100s of websites. I am looking for a way to track the backlinks of each site without having to go to MajesticSEO.com every day and enter the data into Excel - for every site (impractical).

    I need a solution to track the backlinks my sites have over time. I'm looking for software that checks MajesticSEO daily if possible and keeps the data in a system.

    All I would need to do is enter the website and then its backlinks would be checked and logged in the system for me to view.

    Then I could see how many backlinks my team is building to my sites over time.

    I'd like to see graphs of each site's backlink count. January - 100 Backlinks, Macrh 350 backlinks, etc.

    Is there a solution you guys know of? Wouldn't this be a useful tool?

    Thanks!
    Alan

        I use SEO Spyglass to analyze backlinks of my sites and competitors sites, however a good chunk of backlinks don't show up on this software. Many of these types of tools won't show all the backlinks to a particular site.

          SEO Spyglass only allows you to view data one site at a time, right?

          I need a tool that tracks backlinks for 100s of sites that I enter into it, without me having to do it manually or manage 100s of files.

        How do you know how many backlinks you've earned in the last 6 months for a site?

        Moreover, how do you keep track of the backlink amounts for 100s of sites tp how many you're gaining?

  • I think you should try SEO spyglass. It is ideal for monitoring back-links for both you and your competitors. SEO spyglass provides you with more information that assists you to get through links and decide on what to do. Exact URL and page rank are part of what is provided in detailed information availed to you. Another alternative would be to use Google Web-master tools which will enable you to navigate quickly on the back-links.

    Google PR are going to be incorrect because after they changed there algorithm many tools that check for backlinks are no longer able to produce correct results. Yahoo Webmaster Tools is now integrated with Bing so signup for an account with them and they are very good at producing results. The only issue with Bing is that only produce results for your website and not your competitors.

    Download Chrome and get a few extensions through them and I have yet to try all of them with any luck. Let me know if you find one that works well.

    Yahoo site explorer doesn't give any data. you can use majesticseo dot com. I think it is good. you can use this to check your backlinks and also backlinks of your competitors. you can also use Google search engine by typing link:yoursite dot com. But this doesn't give lot of data and sometimes it doesn't give data at all. But if google gives that data, it will be useful for you to find your competitor back link data.

    Hey everyone. I’m still new at this so hopefully I’m not missing anything completely obvious, but I’m trying to gauge the number of backlinks certain sites have and in researching the forum and this thread, there a lot of options and a lot of opinions.

    The problem/question I have is that I’m getting vastly different results from all of them and I have no idea which is correct or which I should be targeting.

    (for SEOQuake, I’m looking at both the SEMRush numbers, as well as the Google Links that must be manually turned on).

    The difference is pretty extreme – sometimes talking in the thousands of BL vs 0.

    Here’s an example. I did a google search for “Internet Marketing” and randomly chose “Internetmarketing.com”, the second result for me.

    SEOQuake:
    Google Links – 40
    SEMRush Links – 4

    Traffic Travis
    31,265

    Backlinkwatch.com
    711

    Ahrefs.com
    2728

    bluebacklinks.com
    2728

    open site explorer
    7483

    SpyGlass
    841


    That is obviously a HUGE discrepancy. I have no idea which one is accurate and which are the numbers I should be targeting when I’m doing my research. Am I interpreting the numbers wrong? Am I looking at the wrong numbers?

    Would appreciate some clarification. Thanks in advance!

    I strongly recommend Majestic SEO for checking backlinks. It gives you details on Fresh Indexes and Historic ones, Top Pages and the sites that have are linking to yours with the anchor texts used. Also, it has complete details on AC ranks for measuring the backlink page's importance.

    I don't like backlinkwatch.com because of the ads and popups.

    You can also have MajesticSEO through Market Samurai.

    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[5750256].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author sickseo
    I have a very different perspective to monitoring my backlinks. I do not use any of these other external data sources such as majestic seo, blekko and ahrefs.

    Every tool I use to build my links has full url reporting whether it be senukex or even a link building service. I only use tools and services which provide full url reporting. I then take my urls and paste them into my desktop software which organises all of my links by tier.

    By building and checking my own links, I can see an up to date picture of which of my links are indexed and are impacting my rankings.

    For one of my sites, I have about 180,000 links in total, with about 18,000 going to my home page. Majestic seo has only been reporting 2000 links going to my home page! In their last update, their figure went up to 13,000, which is a little better.

    But there are still another 5000 links going to my home page which majestic seo don't know about. But I do, because I build my own links and check my own links without having to rely on extrnal data sources.

    I just had a look in my google webmaster account and they only show about 40,000 different links. But the difference here could well be due to my large amount of links which are not yet indexed in Google.

    But the point being here is, I know which of my links Google don't know about, as I can see all 180,000 urls that I have built myself within my own desktop software!

    It is now quite easy for me to simply filter my urls by indexed status and anchor text, and start doing things to them so that they get indexed by google and increase my rankings further.

    You can't do this when using majestic seo or any of these other data sources. Even Google webmaster will not show you your links which are not indexed but do exist on the internet. They will only show you the links which are indexed.

    This data is no good if you want to focus on your non indexed links.

  • Profile picture of the author seocrow
    Backlinkwatch only picks up links if they show up in Google's index, which is a bad way of checking for them (even google have been quoted as saying not to use).

    I quote here:
    "The site command site:<domain-name> is often used to determine the health of a web site in a search engine. The thing is, Google's site command is far from accurate and too many SEOs look at it too closely. We discussed this before and I just want to cover it again."


    I suggest you use Scrapebox. This tool can check thousands of links for your backlink and generate a report for you once complete.

    This might sound like spam as I am also a moderator on their forum but it's truly not, I recommend this for everyone. I've been using seo panel installed on a domain. I've had to buy the backlinks plugin and also the plugin for local search engines (au) but it works pretty good amazingly for what is a open source....You don't actually have to buy the plugins if you know how to write queries but for noobs you wouldn't bother.


    While I am on it, I have also been using screaming frog recently. It's not bad as well and worth the download (exe). It will only search max 500 pages on the free version. Again, not bad for a free product.

      We use a combination of MajesticSEO and OSE. OSE seems to take longer to pick up links, but you get far more data. Majestic seems to be faster than others, but you don't get the same level of information as OSE.

      So with a combination of both is a sure-fire way to get the best data possible.

      SEOSpyglass - the paid version is excellent. Many professionals use this tool. Other options include ahrefs (free version and paid version) Majestic SEO (both paid and free) SEMOZ(paid and free) plus Market Samurai.
      Remember Google does not want to show you exactly all it's links so these are really only approx links not 100 % accurate.
      Checking backlinks obsessively can turn into a real time waster. You also need to build backlinks to your backlinks.

    To check back links then I prefer Google webmaster tools which give you back links with their resources globally. You can also use backlinkwatch.com to check the back-link of any website.

    i use Raven Tools and occasionally backlinkwatch.com. backlinkwatch is iffy, but it's free. Raven's back link checker is pretty good, but is very picky about the syntax you enter, i.e. you'll get different number of results if you leave the slash on the end

    I see there were a lot of good answers. One interesting question I had was, any of these tools/services, do they show "all" the backlinks? I assume this is not possible.

    The reason I ask is because lets say a site has a PR 2 or PR 3 but has like 1 or 0 backlinks showing on these tools/services, is is possible that there are just some links we will not be able to see or is it better to assume the site is a fake PR, on top of that the site was catched by Google on recent May 2012 dates.

    What are your thoughts on this guys?

    Hello!

    I'm using MajesticSEO and it is very effective. It is very easy to use and very handy. You could also use Spyglass whichever you think is easier to use and fits you best. But they are both very helpful and accurate. You can use neither of them.

    Good Luck.

      Since your website has only one page, here is what I recommend:
      • use social signals
      • build .edu/.gov sites
      • build backlinks for the existing ones (select the most important of them)
      • build backlinks with random, natural looking anchor texts like "click here", "Read full article", "Source", "visit website", URL, brand etc.
      Hope it helps!

    Probably not as useful as some of the other products, but it does post a lot of results. Most however are within your own website.

    Hi,

    I prefer backlinkwatch It will show you "anchor" text, pagerank, total outbound links on that page, and nofollow flag for each of your inbound link available.

      My results- backlinkwatch= 638 , G Webmaster Tools= 3,433 , Seo Spyglass= 133 , bluebacklinks= 977

      So they each shoe very different numbers , I just use them all to get somewhat of an idea, LOL

    You can try the backlink checker at Blue Backlinks.

    By just entering your URL, you will be provided with information such as your total backlinks, your competitors and your competitors’ total backlinks. It can also offer you the ability to conveniently and accurately compare your backlinks to other websites.

    This will allow you to evaluate whether your backlinking efforts and strategies are up to the task of winning the competition. It also has an automated backlink checking system that shows all the specific backlinks details you need such as backlink status that tells one whether a link is live or not, indexed or un-indexed, etc.

        Daniel is right. You should always use more than one tool.

    I don't get why people keep using OSE (SEO MOZ) ?! They unfamiliar with 95% of the backlinks.
    Everytime I check backlinks with them I get "0 Links" and when I check the same domain on MajesticSEO I get thusands of backlinks.
    So all OSE's indicators such DA / PA are simply useless !

    SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. If you want to check how well is your site optimized for a certain search engine check their system. For Google, check Google Webmaster Tools...the same for Yahoo.

    I think , the most make sense way to check backlinks are :

    - Clear your browser cache and cookie.
    - Open google.com/ncr (ncr stands for "No Country Redirect")
    - Type "link:yoursite.com" (without quotes)
    - See the result, those are backlinks considered by Google.

    After all, almost of us got the largest traffic from Google, right ?

    I have to agree with the votes for Majestic SEO - I've found it to be incredibly powerful if you know what you're looking at ... which I didn't at first. I had to break the geek pledge to never read the manual, and read the manual (or watch the video at least) to get my head around how Majestic interpret and display the data they have.

    Once I got my head around what everything meant, it is incredibly powerful. Learning how to use the system is just as important as finding a system that purports to do what you want it to do, in my humble opinion!

    Google webmasters - Links to your site?

    I find many of the links here are out of date. Even after having links removed months ago, they still show up on Google webmasters - Links to your site.

    Does this mean google still counts them when they are working out SERPS?

      @ mikelinez2012: Google doesn't automatically delete those links. You have to submit a request from within the Webmaster tools.

    I often use Traffic Travis, which does its job pretty well as it ranks the authority of those backlink pages.

    This is the first I tried backlinkwatch. Gotta admit it's just as competitively good! It doesn't seem to rank the backlinks though, so Traffic Travis ftw lol.

    backlinkwatch does offer an extensive list of links to your site, but if you want the ability to download the list into a spreadsheet then you might want to try majestic SEO or the open site explorer (found at seomoz.org/tools)

    I generally use google webmaster tools as i think that as you are trying to get ranked within google then you may as well only use googles tool for a reflection as to what links are being ranked. Ive literally got double the amount of back links (when searched on backlinkswatch) when compared to webmaster tools.

    If you are struggling for google then consider using google webmaster tools, besides google no one else can pull the accurate data.
