Best back-link checker tool?

[WillisTi]

Hi,

What do you find is the best tool to check your backlinks? I use - SEO Tools. Link Checker. Check Backlinks for PR, Anchor & Nofollow - and it seems to work pretty well compared to others I have used.

One thing I don't understand is that when I use the 'link:' command in Google it's telling me that I only have 8 back-links and then if I use the tool above I have 12,000! Why is Google saying I only have 8?

Thanks

Backlinks and G

Google never shows all your backlinks with a simple link:sitename command. Use Yahoo for that.

I like to use backlinkwatch.com to check links.

The link: operator only show a very small sample of the links that a site have where google WMTs show a bigger sample of backlinks.

You can use Yahoo site explorer to see more of your site's backlinks.

backlinkwatch.com and seopro.com.au is a great tool for checking backlinks. But you can also type your site link to yahoo and google.com for backlinks check.

The best method to check the back links counted by google is google webmaster tools.

I will try backlinkwatch.com out just to see how it works. Currently, i use a paid tool which check multiple engines to show a better overall view.

did you ever think about what happens, when yahoo site explorer will get shut down because of the Yahoo MS deal?
