Tracking Backlinks

    I use Yahoo site explorer to track backlinks to competitor websites.

    The problem is that it doesn't show you links from social sites that use a URL shortener.

    Is there any service out there that I can use that will track ALL backlinks including ones that point to a webpage with a URL shortener?

    Thank you

    You could use google analytics for this purpose. Its friendlier and free.

    True, but I'm looking to track competitor backlinks rather then my own.

    Webmaster tool is the most accurate from all the others to my opinion.
    The most important thing is to always check with the SAME TOOL, that way you can monitor the changes and not get confused by different outcomes.
