Hi... I wanted to know how to check backlinks .. I have used up many free software. But each one of them is showing totally different results.... Please suggest any link which can help me.......
there u go: http://www.domain-pop.com/backlink-check.php and http://www.smartpagerank.com/pagerank-backlinks.php
i do agree.. Yahoo is the best tool to check backlinks.. It has a great feature that it updates very fast..
Best way to do this accurately is: siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com Type in your url at the top. Click on "inlinks". You will see all or most. Any other tools I have found do not work nearly as well or at all. Enjoy! http://www.yourwebgurus.com
there is no way to find 100% of links, because there is no resource that updates 100% of the internet in real time. That's what it would take. Technically, due to blogs, rss, etc, your links change every day (sometimes by the hour depending on how popular your site is) Nothing, not even Google sees ALL of the internet, and nothing sees the net in real time. Things like duplicate content, hidden pages, bad coding, too much data, dynamic data etc all effect how any search engine can see. Also sites that are DIRECTORIES only have what someone put inside them... so you can get an "idea", just like with alexa, alexa doesnt tell you what kind of traffic a site has, just gives an "idea" of what traffic is like (because it requires visitors to have alexa installed AND site tracking activated)
Yes, different tools gives different results. Nothing is perfect. I am using following tool. backlinkwatch dot com Its a great tool. It shows you anchor text also. Most of tools doesn't show you anchor text.
http://www.domain-pop.com/backlink-check.php http://www.build-reciprocal-links.com/backlink_checker_tool.html and http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/ are some of the best tools to check backlinks.
For checking backlinks in Google and Yahoo you can do a link:www.website.com and put it in the search bar. You will get a detailed number of links pointing towards your site cached by the respected search engines.
Thats graet i was having the same problem trying to get infomation on backlinks on www.freemyiphone.co.uk on most sites like cubestat comes up as 0 but can see all the info in detail with yahoo Thanks :-D
I prefer to use backlinkwatch dot com since it doesn't only let me know the total but also the anchor of each backlink and if it is nofollowed
You can use backlinkwatch for check your links but it will not show you all the links you made,i also use google webmaster for doing research of my links.It's really great.
There are plenty of online tools through which you can check the backlinks. I use backlinkwatch and ahrefs for checking backlinks
