Does backlinkwatch.com show accurate results?

    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?

    I think using Yahoo search engine you can view all of your 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 )

    I think Site Explorer is the best as well. Seems to be very accurate. I much prefer site explorer over Google webmaster tools too.

    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

    backlink does not go down the entire depth of the links.

    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.
