    Hi guys, could someone explain to me why, when i login in my webmastertools account it says that there are 1207 links to my site, and when i check it with alexa, it says No Data? Is this a problem or am i mistaking?

    Alexa does take awhile to build up data. Well, not as fast as Google anyways. The link statistics there are worse than the traffic stats so you may want to use other methods to check back links.

    Why are you concerned for Alexa links. It is not a search engine as google where the links will have some value...

    I mostly dont like alexa so much, the traffic rank is also updated once in three months time.

    Alexa only useful when analyzing traffic of 3rd party sites, and even then it has a limited use since it can be manipulated
