google never reveals all the baclinks , since it will also show ur competitor what you are doing .. but yahoo site explorer does a good job ...
Google doesn't show all of them. It shows the total number of backlinks you got from each domain, but you can't see all of them. Also Yahoo explorer only shows 1,000 backlinks for each domain. So i don't know any online tool to find all backlinks of a domain.
Google is not showing all the backlink, but you can get the number of backlink you have from your Google webmaster account. If you want to see all your bcklink yahoo site explorer is the answer for it.
The answer to your question is yes, there is no better place to find your backlinks than webmaster tools, you are the only one who can view this information. When you check the google backlinks of your competition you are only seeing a selection of there total links.
It's a rare case, but Yahoo does a better job than Google in showing backlinks. Interesting enough, none of the three best sources, SEOmoz, Google or Yahoo Site Explorer, shows all of the same links. If you want to be thorough, the best you can do is check all three.
Most of the times I use a software to check for one particular site's backlinks, which I have bought for few dollars. However if you wanna have a check of your backlinks, I would prefer you to go for SEO Quake software and toolbar which can be downloaded easily in firefox add-ons. Also remember google will never show you the exact amount of backlinks of your site.
thanks for your answers, you know i just ask this question due to i have download the backlinks of my site from google webmastertool and yahoo siteexpoler,and Contrast them, and i found some backlinks i could find at yahoo links,but not in google.
Google is tend to not show total backlinks in "public" and they have the right to do it. If you really want to see full backlinks then you should consider get your website verified with Google Webmaster Tools.
no Google does not show all the links not even in webmaster. even you try to find all links by search query then it will not show u all the pages
Google will show you the backlinks which you have got for your website. It never shows all the links which you have made.
Google webmaster only shows total no. of backlinks. It shows from this abc.com site your site get 5 links, but it not shows from which pages your site get backlink. But Google webmaster is useful to see backlinks than any other tool.
no i do not think that in Google webmaster tool we can get all the back links.Even if you use search query link: http//... then you may get exact digit but will not get exact page from where you get link
