The more backlinks to your domain name the better.

Estibot tells you backlinks as well as a hint of value, search volume, other extensions taken etc. This link to estibot is a backlink

Good luck!

Even if you don't fully understand the concept of backlinks, take this from me. The more you have the better!

When some site links to your site, its called a backlink. To find the number of backlinks your site currently has, try the seologs tool.

It can be found here

Hey Varon, I just used that tool and it says someone is linking to me even though I know they are?

How reliable is estibot when determining backlinks? I got 1700 backlinks using estibot and 0 backlinks when I use iwebtool. How come the backlink data are not consistent with other backlink analyzers? Which source is more reliable. I'm confuse.

Well to be honest Smiler I wouldn't know which one is more reliable. Sorry. I only use Estibot as a Hint with a capital H when researching domains. What if you use a third one and go by what that one say?

Uh?

What the hell, I even confused myself there. What I meant was, I used that tool to find out who's linking to me but it says nobody is, even though I know they are.
