Which is the best way to check your backlinks?

You can use many tools to check backlinks, so you try typing on google with the word "backlink checker." please you search using google search engine.

 

Google everytime.

 

There are lots of ways to check backlinks.
One is putting “link:mydomain.com” in the Google search engine box, the number of links is the least.
And using yahoo to check backlinks, I get more backlinks results than from “link:mydomain.com” in the Google search engine box.
Using Google webmaster, I can see the inbound links more than that I get from the above two methods.
The interesting thing is I use hostgator to host my website. From the cpanel, there shows more inbound links than Google webmaster shows.
And I also use Market Samurai to check backlinks.
I think maybe the number of links showed by the cpanel of hostgator and Market Samumai are more accurate. Actually there is huge difference from these numbers.
