I have listed some of the backlink checker tool check out http://www.broughtmeup.com/online-backlinks-checker-tools/ Please let me know i got something wrong and also suggest some more tools
You can trust any of the below three and free tools: 1) Google webmaster tools- you can check your backlinks status. 2) ahrefs - It is a good site, if you want to check others back links. 3) Moz - It will help you to find the backlinks.
1) Majestic 2) Majestic 3) Majestic GWMT only shows you SOME of your backlinks. Majestic shows many, many more. (And you won't have to show evil-G which sites you own) MOZ is ok. But they seem to only update their index every month or so, while Maj seems weekly at least I honestly havent messed much with AHREFS, but seems slightly better than MOZ. Lastly, their was a recent article doing a "shoot-out" between the backlink indexers. Majestic citation flow actually had the best correlation with being ranked. (I would thought Trust Flow, but alas it was CF...weird) *** Aztral ***
As I am using SEOPROFILER for backling check.It provides all the back links for all sites. So I suggest you to use SEOPROFILER to check back links.
SEMrush does have backlink feature but it is not as powerful as Majestic, Ahrefs or Moz. Personally, I like Majestic. Cheapest among the three with a decent database.
Ahrefs is the best according to me. Of course there are NO cheap, but in the same time effective tools!
Don't all of those tools just use Google or one of those sites for their results at the end of the day?
