Backlink Watcher or Google Webmaster Tool?

I look at both to gauge my number of inbound links. The difference is Backlink Watcher actually indicates witch are nofollows. Meanwhile Google webmaster shows other backlinks that aren't included in backlink watcher, and even list the ones that I know for a fact are nofollows.

So which one is a more credible source?

 

I have always relied on GWT/site explorer and always found their result quite satisfactory... though I must admit I have never used backlink watcher before!

Rehards,

if you are targeting Google, use GWT.

 

So then does GWT show nofollow backlinks too or only dofollows?

 

I always use back-link watch... I can even see my competitor backlinks using it which is not possible with google webmaster tools

 

I use GWT and it works fine for me.

 

Use both. It's good to be able to compare results.

 

If you are thinking of quality and natural linking, use GWT. Of course naturally built backlinks didn't care if it has nofollow attribute, as long as it is helpful.

 

Ok got it now.

 

each of this tool differ its result but me i never used this tool to check my links ..

 

Google Webmaster Tools without a doubt. If you are optimizing website for Google, why don't pay attention to the link counted from Google perspective instead of relying with link info from external sources.

 

I will prefer google webmaster tools because i more focus on google search engine optimization.
However, if you focus is no yahoo, then you might consider backlinkwatch or yahoo site explorer

 

Go with google

 

Hi, Apollo355

In my own experiences, yahoo siteexplorer plus seo4firefox would be the best combination.

Have a nice day,

 

I mostly use Backlink Watcher

 

I use webmaster tool for this.. it is good .

 

I use backlink-watch! Very good site... keeps me up to date

 

I use Google Webmaster tool.Its very good.

 

GWT is the best!

 

personally webmaster tools are better in my opinion as they give a truer reflection of the number of quality backlinks to any given site
