I've had my blog for awhile then after looking aorund the WEB I decided to try some of the Web Based Tools to check Page Rank, Back Links etc... One I had used a few times Google Page Rank, Alexa Rating etc. said I had about 266 Backlinks then a few days later it was 147 then days later it was back to 266 then back to 147... Checking the links in Google say about 147... Then another Webtool I used said I had about 2,868, then after getting signed up with a few more directories I was up to 2,906 now I'm back down to around 2,868... As search on Yahoo shows about 2,868 backlinks.. Who am I suppose to Believe???.... Is there a Webtool that will show all backlinks and show the major search engines Backlink score for my site??... Thanks guys!...
Take a look at some of these tools, they provide some great info to get buried in. http://www.tools.seobook.com/
I agree with you KeithLDick. I too face similar problem, not only with backlink tools also with other tools. I usually take the data from top sites. Like to know backlinks in GYM, I use link: respective function.
