I have been trying to build honest backlinks with articles and Twitter for my website. I was looking into our competition's backlinks and noticed Twitter.com was #1 backlink I've had twitter for a while and it isnt listed as a backlink even with my sites url linked to it and everything. Same with places like Squidoo and Ezinearticles. So what's the catch? How did they get twitter or these other high pr sites as a backlink? We have 0 followers right now on twitter but thats not the case with other sites linking to us..
I'm facing the same issues as deidrar, and the "backlink checker" didn't clarify much. Any other tools out there?
If you talk about alexa than alexa dnt show all links build by you... To check all of your links you can track by using |google webmaster tool and wait some time to let alexa to track them.
After view months learning SEO, I find no reference about the importance of Backlink report from Alexa. Alexa bot counts, trace and rank website base on the number of visitor and not the amount of backlinks refer to the website. To get detailed backlink report, Google webmaster tool is a better alternative
