Hi,

I'm trying to check and analyze some the backlinks of a website.

I'm using SEO spyglass and Majestic SEO.

But how come for some sites for example, Majestic tells me that a site has 100 links but SEO spyglass says it only has 5 backlinks?

What is the most accurate way to analyze backlinks for a site? What tools should you use?

    Each tool/service tends to crawl different parts of the internet and none of them are complete. It is also a safe bet that Google knows of many more links than any of these tools. I find it helpful to use Majestic, Open Site Explorer (SEO Moz), and ahrefs to try to get a fuller picture.

    I think that most of back link analysis tools are free, so the results are not absolutly accurate. For the best result you should use the tools with payment

    Usually i like to use Majestic Seo tool and Open Site Explorer, but in case of OSE it can be used only 3 times in a day, but the results are quite accurate.

    The best free solutions are Google Webmaster tools, OpenSiteExplorer or ahrefs. If you are looking for a free software for backlinking analyzing, go with Tradfic Travis or Market Samurai.
