    Well, if you would like the basics, you can use website auction sites like Flippa.com to check the incoming links.

      Well William, look in MY CASE......

      after having tons of links removed on other sites ( asking webmasters ) because of our dear Penguin - Alexa is showing a decrease in my site's number of links.

      Maybe if you wait a little more, the update will come.

          ROTFLMAO! Alexa is a site developed only for the
          purpose of amazon and it's traffic funneling empire.

          These threads about alexa always crack me up.

          Like alexa means something and should be taken
          seriously. Hardly.

          Once you know that amazon runs the thing, maybe
          your outlook on alexa will change. At least that's
          my hope.

          It was created for entertainment purposes only.

          People should take amazon's cue. Make a bunch of
          sites, link em up, funnel traffic, build an online
          empire. Most people would be amazed at the sites
          amazon owns, runs, and now they are web hosting
          for very authoritative clients. Like pinterest.

          Alexa. You people crack me up.

          If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

          Now - 241

    I suggest trying out another monitoring tool for backlinks, Alexa really isnt the best option for checking backlinks... try Ahrefs or webmaster tools.

    Best way to check the backlinks is by typing "www dot website dot com" on Google (no http please). Do this and observe how many backlinks Google show. Alexa is not a right way to check number of backlinks.

    More importantly why are you checking alexa for backlinks?

    Alexa isn't a backlink checking tool. Let alone a tool that's really worth much.
