How To Check How Many Backlinks Your Site Has – Part 2

March 31st, 2008 | 13 Comments

One of the first posts I made on this blog dealt with different websites that you can use to check your backlinks (See: How To Check How Many Backlinks Your Site Has). I figured it would be kind of popular, but I had no clue that it would be as popular as it is! People really want to be able to check how many backlinks they have. They also like to check the backlinks of their competitors’ websites.

So, in an effort to bring my readers what they want, I have scoured the web for even more websites that you can use to check how many backlinks your site has. Not all of them are the best, and some really aren’t that great at all, but hopefully with a whole bunch options for checking your backlinks, you are able to find one or two that you really like.

NOTE: As I wrote in the previous “Check Your Backlinks” post, I suggest not using them all. I also recommend that you don’t compare the numbers against each other. Find the one that works best for you and seems most accurate for your site, and monitor it weekly in order to see the progress of your one way link building campaign.

Now, here’s the list:

Link Diagnosis
http://www.linkdiagnosis.com
This is a nice tool for showing you your backlinks, and also breaking down your backlinks of your internal pages too. To get the full effect of this tool, you need to install the Firefox plugin for it (don’t worry, they’ll tell you that you need to, and how to install it.) It does take longer with the Firefox plugin installed, because it gets so much more information for you, including: anchor text and total number of links on the page your link is on.

Domain Pop
http://www.domain-pop.com/
This site allows you to check each domain once every 5 days. (I know, you want to be able to check every 5 minutes, but instead of always checking your backlinks, work on one way link building instead!) This site shows you how many links total you have, how many domains and how many different IP’s your links are on. It also gives a basic breakdown of the pages on each domain that your links are on.

dnScoop’s Domain and Site Value Tool
http://www.dnscoop.com/
This tool tells you your domain’s age, your PageRank, whether or not the PageRank is valid, How many inbound links according to Yahoo, your Alexa traffic rank, the IP report which has all of the domains on that IP, the text Link Ads estimated Link Value, and an estimated “total site value”.

W3tool’s Backlink Checker
http://www.w3tool.com/backlink/
This tool is nice, because it lets you check up to 10 URLs at the same time. This is great for checking your main site and multiple internal pages, or simply checking your site against your competitor’s sites. It does not display’s Google’s links, but it does display Yahoo’s, AltaVista’s and Alltheweb’s.

LinkVendor’s Domain Popularity Analysis
http://www.linkvendor.com/seo-tools/domain-popularity.html
This tool searches Yahoo, and gives a domain-by-domain breakdown of a sample of the pages your link is found on. It also tells you the different IPs and to see each page’s PageRank, you need to register for the service and login. Everything else requires no registration.

1stSearchEngineRanking’s Link Popularity Tool
http://www.1stsearchenginerankings.com/link-popularity-tool/
This one tells your Alexa rank, your PageRank, and how many links you have on Google, MSN, and Yahoo. The yahoo numbers seem to be a bit low, comparing it against searching Yahoo’s own Site Explorer. Either way, it’s a pretty conservative number for each site, so definitely a tool to use for weekly benchmarking.

Piloun’s WebInfo

http://www.piloun.com/info
This breaks down your Google PageRank and Alexa rank, the number of pages index in Google, Yahoo, AltaVista, and MSN. It also shows you the backlinks for Yahoo and google, although they use the “link:yoururlhere.com” method for Google, which doesn’t show accurate results.

WeBuildPages Free Backlink Checker
http://www.thelinkpop.com/index.php
This tool doesn’t accurately report the number of links Google sees. It does accurately display the number that Yahoo and AltaVista see. This is just a set of numbers, for a very quick check.

PageRankr
http://www.pagerankr.com/
This little tool tells you the PageRank, how many pages you have indexed in Google, and how many pages link to you for Google, Yahoo, Alltheweb, and AltaVista. This uses the “link:yoururl.com” method for Google, which doesn’t show accurate results.

Webmaster Toolkit’s Link Popularity Checker
http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com/link-popularity-checker.shtml
This basic tool, is about the same as PageRankr, showing you how many pages link to you for Google, Yahoo, Alltheweb, and AltaVista. They also use the “link:yoururl.com” method for Google, which doesn’t show accurate results.

    I know may of these tools, and I also found here some new. Some are very usable, and some are funny, but don’t have value. I can recommend also my 3 free SEO online tools on my pages. Especially WebSite Force Checker is related to this post.

  9. If you depend on link or site selling as a form of monetization you will definitely want to increase your Alexa rank, because it will increase your bargaining power when it comes to ad pricing.

  10. http://www.checkyourlinkpopularity.com is also useful tool. But you will have to install it first

  11. SEO Pro on your first installment of this series is the best one ive used so far. Takes a while to show the links but is very accurate.
