    Does anyone know of a good site that accurately provides the amount of backlinks to your site (including blogrolls, blog comments, forum posts, signatures, etc...). I know of a lot that produces ridiculously low and high numbers (from 10 to 1000), so I'm looking for a site that will produce accurate results for backlinks.

    Google webmaster tools for your own site - Yahoo site explorer for others.

    Backlinkwatch always gave me the most accurate results. Google Webmaster's estimate is just plain awful - it says my 10 year old website only has 120-something backlinks, when Backlinkwatch shows thousands (and actually lists them)

    Google's estimate is way off, I have regularly checked 5-10 year old domains when it has suggested only a mere handful of back links when in reality there are thousands.

    Yahoo Site Explorer. Every other tool just uses this data.

    I just tried backlinkwatch.com and it does work really well. It comes up with very accurate statistics, although it took a while for it to load all of the information for me.
