Best Backlink Monitor?

I don't understand what you need to see how many backlinks you're at? Just keep building, or use Yahoo Site Explorer.

Try SEO spyglass but all back link tools will never show all of the back links. Just keep on building and set a schedule to check once a week or less.

Ahrefs rocks

Yeah... my votes are for (in order):

MajesticSEO: Majestic SEO: Site Explorer
Yahoo Site Explorer: Site Explorer - Yahoo! Site Explorer
Backlink Watch: Backlinks Checker Tool - Backlink Watch

Market Samurai has a real good backlink analyzer where it can show you how many links your (or any) site has, and it breaks those links down by PR. Real cool.

yeah i used majestic seo too. it worked pretty well for me.

I use majestic SEO for checking all backlinks, and I use AreMyLinksUp for tracking high value backlinks like link exchanges and links I purchased.

Majestic or Ahrefs. Both have pretty large databases. Though still not as big as YSE once did.

MajesticSEO can help, but there isn't ANY backlink checker that will provide you ALL the backlinks! .. If any1 finds anything, please share it

Online solutions: majesticseo.com, ahrefs.com, opensiteexplorer.org
Program solutions: SEO Spyglass and MS

Try Backlinkwatch or SpyGlass from Link Assistant. The enterprise version provides additional features to extract more info on the links.

MajesticSEO is a free online tool I personally use. Other than that I'm using Traffic Travis.

SpyGlass Enterprise by Link Assistant. It gives you all the details on a specific link.

I vote for magestic seo and backlink watch.

I find that majestic seo are extremely slow at updating their figures with the actual figures which I record myself. For one site of mine, I have physically built over 10,000 links to my domain. Majestic seo still shows only 95 links to the domain! So quite a big difference.

For monitoring and orgainising my links by tier, I use a desktop software which allows me to schedule link checks, check the indexed status of my links, as well as analyse other metrics such as obl's, anchor text and no follow status.

It also has a filter option, which allows me to select my links by a combination of the above metrics, before loading the urls into another campaign. So keeping track of my links and building more links to my links is a lot easier and quicker when you have a tool such as backlink monitor.

The software only costs $39.95 and is a one off purchase. So certainly very inexpensive for what it does. I have done a training video explaining how I use it. You can find it on my site and you tube channel.

I am unable to share a link to the video as I have not hit the 15 post count yet! This is my first post!

what is the best checker that's free?

My vote goes to MajesticSEO

if you are really serious about your backlinking then spend the time that you are giving to watch how many links have you gotten to the building of links. it will help you getting more and more back links. and remember that Google will index the links sooner or later

Majestic SEO. Most accurate and up to date.

If used Ahrefs, Majestic, Market Samuri & spy glass & Traffic Travis - in my opinion Link Research Tools is far better than any of them.

The problem with using any of these external data sources is that they will NEVER give you the full SEO picture on your links. All of these data sources are very poor at reporting on the total number of links pointing to your site.

They also fail to report on links which point to your links. They only report on tier 1 links. So if you build link pyramids, you can not track these links with external data sources.

I just tried backlink watch on my sickseo site and once I had got past those annoying pop up ads, it told me I had ZERO links and that I should go and build some! I also looked at majestic seo and it says that I have 95 links going to my home page! It's been saying that for a few weeks now.

Well, I know for a fact that I have 25,313 active backlinks. I also know that 57% of my links are indexed. I also know that 25,000 of these live links are do follow and that 313 links are no follow! I can also see the exact anchor text for each of these live links including those "anomalies" which often appear when building links.

How do I know all of these statistics for my site when backlinkwatch tells me I have zero links? It is because I use a desktop software to track and analyse all of my links from any of my tiers. It is called backlink monitor by a company called Inspyder Software.

I have been beta testing for a few months now and have managed to make enough feature requests to get the tool developed to the stage it is at now. I am a full time SEO, so the features which this desktop software now has programmed in are perfect for an seo.

Seriously, if you do seo and want to stay in control of your links. Then this is the only tool I use and certainly the only tool I also recommend to others.

I have also taken the time to create a demonstration video which is an hour long, showing how I use the tool to make my own seo decisions for my sites. Once you have watched the video, I will be extremely surprised if anyone says that these external data sources are better or even accurate!

They simply are not!

If you want to check your site backlinks then use backlinkwatch. It is best to check site backlinks.

It's between Majestic and Ahref.

Or, Scrapebox, which is much faster and based on your own schedule but unfortunately it won't produce pretty graphs or charts like you wanted.

I have not used this one. I will use this soon and let you know my feedback regarding this.

I use backlinkwatch its free. You can copy the links straight to Excel

You can also use Backlink Monitor for SEO - Monitor Backlinks - there is a free version and 4 paid ones (you can also use our free backlink checker, so you can discover new backlinks for your site).

@sickseo: We have an import option, so you can import multiple links using an Excel/Word file.

SpyGlass Enterprise or Majestic

@sickseo We can monitor any number of backlinks and we have accessible packages for every type of client (from freelancers which need to monitor less than 500 links to big SEO players which need to monitor hundreds of thousands of backlinks, like you).

Since MonitorBacklinks.com tool focuses only on backlink monitoring feature, we can give more affordable prices than other big SEO tools.

Please send me an PM with your e-mail adress, so we can discuss more. Since you have a lot of backlinks which you need to monitor, we will make you a special package with a discount.

Thank you!

I like majestic seo

As of i know majestic SEO and open site explorer are good. I am using that also.

Sick your starting to sound desperate now, I think people get it, you like the product and probably have an interest in getting people to buy the product I am guessing... Thing is ramming it down peoples throats is not a good marketing strategy.

i personally like backlink watch and SEO spyglass, great tools for lots of backlinks

I prefer Backlinkwatch. Its pretty good.

SpyGlass Enterprise or Majestic

Open Site Explorer and Backlink Watch are good. No tool would give you exact backlink count. I really miss Yahoo Site Explorer

SEO SpyGlass Backlink Checker Software: X-Ray Your Competition hands down is the best out their.

I like two tools:
1. backlinkwatch.com / Anchor Text showing / dofollow or nofolllow / OBL / PR is not working /

2. analyzebacklinks.com / Anchor Text is not showing but I have seen perfect all backlinks.

I use MajesticSEO to view backlinks in bulk...without Yahoo site explorer, it's worth having.

I use AreMyLinksUp (google it - sorry can't post links) to monitor high value links from purchases / exchanges...it notifies you if they get changed or removed.

I recommend you to use backlink watch..

but i never check my backlink everyday, i just keep build it

Try LinkAssistant. You can manually input (or import) and store all your backlinks and the tool will check them for you reporting nofollow, frames, redirects, wrong anchor texts, etc.

I personally feel BackLink Monitor and BackLink Watch tools are the best tools to monitor and watch backlinks and the reason I recommend using both these tools because it is free.

Benefits of BackLink Monitor

1) It monitor provides quite in-depth information and getting alerts through email is the best option, so you don't need to keeping checking each day to see the detailed report.
2) The most distinctive features are graph in the overview dashboard and ability to increase backlinks quality and site traffic based on keyword positioning.

3) You can easily demonstrate & find quality backlinks and avoiding potentially negative ones.

Benefits of BackLink Watch:

1) With this tool you can identify all links to your website, as well as phrases associated with the link and anchor-text.

2) You can also get useful data as page rank, anchor text, total page links outbound. Also you can flag any inbound link as "nofollow".

3) Free-to-use, user friendly and no need to download.
