I use backlinkwatch.com to analyze my back links. Does it show accurate results? I mean that are all the back links shown by it? or just a portion of total in bound links to your web site?
its depend on tool which search engine to get more power bcz different type of tool get different types of result and backlinks
I dont think so! I am telling this on my behalf. I have done link building for my websites in past and so i know where the links should be coming from. When i checked it through backlinkwatch it dosen't showed me all those links.
seo555 is right I think results are based on yahoo results and just get the value of it's link like outbound link and PR.
so far backlink is one of most valuable sites to check backlink. the stressed is on how the display which one is follow/no follow and keyword anchored. ( so it is not about the complete lists, but analyzing matters )
No i don't think backlink watch shows the accurate results. U can just go through this thread as i was too facing the same problem so u can check it out http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1700709#post13649324
I think Site Explorer is the best as well. Seems to be very accurate. I much prefer site explorer over Google webmaster tools too.
Nop it's not showing real back link so just use simple back link check method with the use of link opretor it is best and accurate too.. best luck
Yeah thanks. I just checked my back links from yahoo site explorer. Only thing missing is that its not showing whether the back links are nofollow or dofollow. Otherwise it has more features than backlinkwatch.com
Answering your questions 1. backlinkwatch gets data directly from Yahoo! site explorer. So you can stop arguing which one has better data, because it's the same 2. no the links shown are not all liks to the website 3. Yahoo! only shows 1,000 links per domain, you can't get more for one query (that's the limitation of all search engines) 4. Yes, you can get more backlinks from Yahoo using some advanced search operators and combinations as described here http://www.link-assistant.com/blog/link-research-tips-to-find-more-back-links/ 5. if you're looking for tools that can get you more than 1,000 links check out Majestic SEO, SEO SpyGlass and Linkscape by SEO Moz.
They are very slow. If you check out http://www.checkpagerank.net compared to backlinwatch, you will see a huge discrepancy in backlinks.
