SEO Spyglass quit working?

Since Backlink Miner closed down. I've had to go back to SEO SpyGlass.

This morning while I'm trying to run backlink reports on 3 or 4 sites it keeps coming back telling me that they have 1 to 4 back links. I know this isn't right. So I check a site that I checked just the other day that was at that time reporting over 400 back links.

Sure enough Spyglass is only showing it to have 2 today. WTF?

Anybody know what's going on with SpyGlass?

    I used Spyglass earlier today and it was working fine. After reading your post I just ran it on two sites of mine that I know each have over 1000 backlinks, and one came back with 3 backlinks and the other came back with 5 backlinks. So yeah, you're right, somethings up (no idea what though).

    Just checked mine before update and didn't show hardly any either..

    New update today though and now seems to be working again.

    Just used it 5 minutes ago on 2 sites and it is working fine.
    Try uninstall it and reinstall again.

    Ditch SEO spyglass and get a real backlink checker that integrates with a real backlink service like ahrefs or majestic

    No affiliation

    http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...-anywhere.html

    presently the best backlink checker on the market.

    Isn't Ahrefs really expensive now?

      No not really, not in my book atleast.

      Turn to Fiverr if it is, many people offer services for Ahrefs reports.

      It is because you can chew through their API allowance (which is the most efficient way of using their service - within a tool). Majestic is more reasonable though.

      For those who do try RDDZ it has one quirk with majestic. You sometimes have to hit abort after the backlinks load (and you can run PR etc). Its something I haven't even gotten to them about but am sure they will fix.

      thing with majestic downloads is they happen one shot so its pretty quick.

      Ahrefs is good but it's not going to show you live links whenever you want to verify links still exist (today).

    I've been playing around with building a live link checker (Windows app.), I've got it setup for running 10 threads at the same time while testing. That thread number could be whatever is needed.

    The amount of threads running simultaneously totally depends on however fast an internet connection is or isn't, your not running 100 threads over a dial-up internet connection (extreme example). The bottleneck would happen at the internet connection before it bogged down a modern PC/CPU/Memory.

    Personally I would rather manually import a list of links via a CSV file or even a text file instead of playing around with 3rd party APIs that can break on their end or stop existing at anytime. Manually importing a list of links would never break (no potential for headaches) & certainly isn't time consuming (one click import).

    I might never do anything with this besides personal use, really I just wanted to see If I could do the multithreading when downloading multiple webpages at the same time & keep the app. responsive.
