    Yahoo site explorer is one of the best.

    You can use Yahoo to gauge your backlinks or if you create an account with Google, you can verify your website(s) in Googles Webmaster Tools and check all your Google backlinks there.

    I have written about this in my blog showinp people how to do this.

      From Google's Webmaster Tools:
      To see a much larger sampling of links to any verified site in Webmaster Tools:
      1. On the Webmaster Tools Home page, click the site you want.
      2. Under Your site on the web, click Links to your site.
      Note: Not all links to your site may be listed. This is normal.
      Webmaster tools will show you more links than just using the link: operator in Google but you will never see more than a tiny fraction of all the links.

    Most sites and software have to use yahoo's api so it is the same as site explorer. I personally use Yahoo site explorer and then google webmaster tools for my own sites. They give a good backlink report. For competition I like to use Aaron wall's free tool backlink analyzer. You can also purchase seo elite if you are looking for a good paid tool for researching competition.

      I'm a fan of seopro.com.au/free-seo-tools/link-checker/. It's similar to Yahoo! Site Explorer (and free, as well), but it also tells you the Homepage PR, Link Count to Page, whether the link is nofollow or dofollow, and the anchor text used. Great for quickly figuring out where your competitor is getting high pr dofollow links from, too.
