Backlinkwatch hasn't updated my link info in a long time, was wondering what I could use to get up to date results? Thanks!

    I prefer AHREF and Google Webmaster tool. Ahref is paid, while you can use Google webmaster tool for free.

    Google webmasters seems to be more accurate for me than SEO SpyGlass, Backlink Watch OR ahrefs.

    For one thing, they are finding the most links right now.

      That is probably the single worst way to find backlinks. You won't find squat that way.

      Webmaster Tools is ALWAYS going to find more links than any other tool. Google has far more resources to crawl and index the internet than any of those other tools.

      The downside of WMT is that it only will give you the links for your sites. You cannot checkup on competitors.

      For competition analysis, the best solution is to use OSE, Ahrefs, and Majestic. Download all the links they have. Then import everything in SpyGlass (along with the links SpyGlass finds) for analysis.

    Unfortunately there is no such thing as a Perfect backlinks backchecker as you will never see all of your backlinks no matter what back link checker is used.

    My vote goes to Google Webmaster & Traffic Travis (paid)...

    Anyhow, I usually record my backlinks on excel sheet, so I don't want to rely on other tools. However, if I am in a position of doing analysis for competitors backlinks, I used to use those tools..

    Analyze Backlinks have a good clutter-free homepage to check back links of your blog. Apart from just entering the website URL, Analyze Backlinks gives you different options like don’t repeat backlinks from same domain, Show links only from homepage, Anchor Text, Total Links, Outbound Links and more. You can opt for any option according to your requirements.

    Open Site Explorer is my favorite online backlink checker site. It is worth trying if you want to compare backlinks between two or more domains. This tools work best when you have a paid account of SEOMOZ, though free tool is good enough to get you started for checking backlinks of yours and your competitor.

    Link Diagnosis provides you different options while checking backlinks for your blog like you need detailed report or optimized, you want to check backlink for single page or whole website, different kind of outputs and more. One thing you need to remember that Link Diagnosis works best with Firefox.

    I like majestic's trust and citation flow feature, but they just don't seem to find a number of my backlinks, unlike ahrefs.

    Majestic SEO & SEO Spyglass are my flavors and get the job done but I agree with Mr Freidman. Google is unrivaled if you want granular data about your backlinks.
