-
Hi,
I am looking for reliable backlink checker tool. I'd appreciate if you could recommend me what you use?
Thanks

It depends what you mean by backlink checker tool.
If you're talking about competitive & research analysis then OSE, MajesticSEO and ahrefs are fantastic tools.
If you're requiring backlink monitoring tools for your own projects I would recommend these three great tools: Raven, Buzzstream, CognitiveSEO.
hth,
Phil

I highly recommend that tool as well. Great mention, Kyle!

Tom is spot on with tools for a link profile analysis.
If you know that you are being penalized by Google (via a warning message) i would also suggest checking out www.linkdetox.com to give you a quick run down on what are good, bad, and suspicious links for removal.
Good luck!

SEOMoz's own OpenSiteExplorer is very useful. The metrics it uses to rank pages are widely considered to be very accurate, while the new 'just discovered' feature is a great way to check on links as they are indexed.
I use it in conjunction with MajesticSEO - which has a larger link database and also some very accurate metrics in the form of Trust Flow and Citation Flow.
Many people I know also recommend Ahrefs.
Hope this helps.

Should i disavow yellowpages.com. Webmater tools shows 656 links coming from it.
We do not have any manual penalty warnings but I am still concerned that Google will see this as unnatural and be penalizing us to a lesser degree.

Is there a tool in SEOMOZ that will make sure backlinks are still active and searchable every month?
I'm looking for a way to track backlinks that are made and make sure that they don't disappear. Is there a way in SEO Moz to have it check the backlinks that it has identified every month to make sure they're still there, or do you have to do it manually by download the list every month and comparing them?

Google Webmaster Tools - assessing inbound links
Hello, I am terribly confused by Google Webmaster Tools. I am looking at my inbound links, to see which content on the site is strongest. However, the results from GWT under Links to your site, and the results from doing a link: search in Google yield very different results! For example, in GWT, this page on our site apparently 2237 links from 29 different domains. But when I search link:www.nigelsecostore.com/acatalog/Eco_Stapler.html, I get just three results, two of which are from our site. What is the cause of the disparity between the two results, or is it just my (lack of) understanding of what I am seeing in the Links to your site report in GWT? Any help clearing this up gratefully received! Many thanks, Sophy
