Backlink checker...

[ratboy]

My normal tool for checking back links has thrown a tantrum... are there any bulk tools that you use and rate?

 

[wb]

Not aware of any bulk checking tools, would be interested to see some too though.

Other than Yahoo Site Explorer I find Link Diagnosis is good.

Blue backlink checker is ok too.

They only do monthly subscriptions now I think so not great for low-level users / hobbyists. A truly astounding service.

Majestic is an awesome service however last time I checked, it's link data is a couple of months old so you won't have bang up to date link information. I usually use a combination of g webmaster tools / yahoo site explorer for analysing links

My thoughts:

#1. DRT's backlink data sucks.

#2. Majestic SEO is great on a PAYG basis but gets pricey if you just want a ready reckoner.

#3. SEOMoz's Linkscape tool is great, but it's subscription only and works out as c. $1000+/year IIRC.

#4. Yahoo Site Explorer, my old standby, is being wound down shortly, I understand.

So as mentioned on the other recent 'bulk backlink checker' thread, have knocked up a tool that uses SEOMoz's API to offer free, bulk backlink stats.

It's called Backlinks.In.

It's throttled to stop people hammering it, but if there's demand will look at setting up accounts for Acorn users to bypass the limit.

I use Linkscape. Wouldn't be without a pro SEOmoz account now, there are so many useful tools.

I've tried SEO Spyglass and thought it was pretty good. It's usually compared to Majestic but don't know which is better.

Thanks Malcolm, let me speak to my developer & see what we can work out.

 

[ratboy]

Cheers chaps - yeah the Backlinks.In is good

Dmoz results arn't reliable though I'm afraid

On MajesticSEO you mean? Or do you mean MozRank on my tool?

If MozRank - they come straight from SEOMoz, so if you spot an error please PM me & will investigate.
