backlinkwatch.com is great but it takes a while for the backlinks to register so you wont see fresh ones. I do not know how well SEO Spyglass works but I believe Traffic Travis offers this feature... maybe only for your own site in the free version, still a great SEO tool.

If you want to check your competitor back links then move with opensiteexplorer [dot] org or else if want to check temporary back links which are the most effective then user back link watch.

Thankyou for your suggestion but OpenSiteExplorer.org is tool through which you can explore particular website and get detail of its back links and Majestic SEO.com is also for the same but what I am looking for is that I want to find our all links made by any website for particular anchor text for example I am looking for "Cars" So I want to get all the sources form where a particular web site is creating link for this keyword.
This Ahrefs.com tool was looking quite interesting what its limited to some search only. I am looking for some free tool available online.

Elfen: it costs money to crawl the web and extract all the data to show backlinks. That's why most of the tools are chargeable although there's usually a free option (ahrefs allows 10 free queries a day for instance) to entice you to pay.

Due to crawling restrictions, the non-Google checkers won't get every link that Google sees. And Google keeps a good chunk of what it sees for its eyes only.

Don't get too hung up on this - it's easy to spend time checking other sites links that could be time better used getting more for yourself.

Here's a site that you can use for free right now to spy on your competitors' backlinks: Backlinks Checker Tool - Backlink Watch

Just go to the site, enter your competitor's website, and reveal many of their backlinks in a matter of minutes!

How can this tool help you? Use your imagination. If you see that the site that your competitor's backlink is placed on allows dofollow comments (the tool shows this), go make a comment on that same site using your keyword as the anchor text.

Have you ever wondered why your competitors' websites are ranking above yours? Well, they probably have more powerful and relevant backlinks. What do I mean by powerful? Links that originate from websites with a page rank of 6 or higher and are DoFollow are extremely powerful in boosting your website up the Google search engine.

I would suggest for ahrefs.com
majesticseo.com
spyglass.com

If you prefer three of them you will get all the backlinks as from one you cannot get all the backlinks and i am guaranteeing this. As i have used all of them.

My number #1 choice is MajesticSEO - it's free (with limited functionality) and does more than enough.

Ahrefs.com is also good.
