    Yahoo would be a more complete list of website linking to your site... however google is likely more relevant. Google doesn't count all links only the ones they deem to be relevant / quality links.

    I prefer using google webmaster tools. I can see backlinks for each page using filters.

    niceilike, I think you are referring to 'link:domain.tld' query when you say only relevant links are included (though I would disagree with that too:) )

    For the link quantity, google is more accurate after it updates its webmaster tools .
