What is the best way to look at my competitors backlinks?

I have been playing with this question for awhile - what is the best way to look at my competitors backlinks?

I currently use yahoo site explorer - although it does not show all of them :'(

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks in advance,

Rich

 

I don't have suggestions, but you helped me to discover the Yahoo Site Explorer. thanks for it. If you know anything else similar to this one, please let me know.

 

Also you can use http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/ and http://www.majesticseo.com/

 

brilliant thanks - which one is better? majestiseo seems abit cheaper??

 

just analysis the other site and there are few site which help you to found the keyword and the link strategy for your site. And many more option..... Thank you.

 

there are two most important tools one is yahoo site explorer and other is backlinkwatch

 

thanks guys...trying them, i mean checking them out

 

I think backlink watch uses yahoo site explorer to pull the data but also looks at the anchor text too... ??

 

There is a free peice of software called SEO spyglass where you enter a competitors URL and you get all the details of their backlinks such as, pr of domain, anchor tect, linking to, age of domain stuff like that. The software is free but you can upgrade to advanced version.

 

All the ones I use don't show them all either!

 

I also use yahoo and open site explorer. SEO spyglass sounds cool.. might worth check it out

 

does spyglass rely on yahoo site explorer to scrape the results?

 

There are other bits of software with it which is part of a package one for tracking your rank within search engines (not 100% accurate), link assistant and website auditor which gives you advice on how to improve your website in terms of keyword density and using the right headers within the page

 

that sounds interesting - are there any websites which track your position ongoing for keywords? preferably free!

 

Part of that package called rank tracker give it a go and see how you get on, blimey sounds like I'm trying to plug it, just tried the rank tracker and it seems to work fine now

 

If you think that Yahoo explorer don't provide all backlink info for competitor, you should try backlinkwatch. Its a great tool to check every cached backlink for a website.

 

Yahoo site explorer is good to check backlinks. You can also try backlinkwatch.com, it provides good number of links.

 

You can check your competitors back links through back link watch and better is siteexplorer yahoo!

 

Yahoo site explorer is best for checking backlinks.

 

I use opensiteexplorer.org - great tool for checking them
