What tools can I use to scrape all of the backlinks of my site?

Hey all,

I've worked through numerous tools such as MySEOTool & Google Webmasters to grab the backlinks to my site(s). The data seems to be inconsistent between different software, so what do you use and what have you found to be the most accurate?

Ideally, I'd like to be able to scrape directly from Google, but I understand your IP gets banned after 5 pages or so.

What works best Warriors?!

Thanks in advance for your input!

    Have you tried SeoMoz or SeoMajestic? It costs money but you download the tables and they have pretty complete records. There is also Bing and Google Webmaster tools.

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

      Thanks for the suggestions - I would actually like to do it for an "unlimited" amount of campaigns. It looks like SeoMoz is restricted to # of domains.

      I'd like to be able to do it for my clients and dig through their backlinks to analyze it. Tis why I'm asking

      Thoughts?

    To keep your IP from getting locked out in google, you'll need to use a software that allows proxy switching, or a software as service that has their own database to scrape (ex: semrush, ahrefs, seomoz, etc.)

    scrapebox has a backlink checker in their free addons, you'll want to pay for shared or private proxies with this one. Otherwise the free proxies scraped in their manager get locked out frequently from others abusing it's features.


    SEMrush is also pretty good, but a new site may not be listed in their database. SEMruch also has an API for higher level accounts. A few other ranking or competition analysis software's use their database.


    Ahrefs is another who scrapes their own database with your queries.



    SEOmoz as mentioned above has OpenSiteExplorerin their tools.. they usually have 30 or more day trials going on
