Check backlinks
1. Check backlinks –leaked report 2013
With the premature death of Yahoo’s site explorer, how can we check backlinks in 2013?
There are several tools, some paid, some free, and here is the summary of the leaked report that we
managed to get our hands on [summary]:
Online checkers – aHrefs, Seomoz, Majestic SEO
Link checking software – SEO spyglass, Quick Spy
Online checkers –the top 3 online checkers had been compared in the report, taking these factors into
account:
- number of claimed links
- number of live links
- reporting tools
- price
The analysis show that aHrefs wins on most points, followed by Majestic, and then Seomoz. If you aim at
offering professional backlink reporting and analysis to your SEO clients, then you should consider
purchasing access to all three online checkers.
Link checking software – SEO spyglass has been around for several years and most webmasters are
familiar with the tool. One of its main disadvantages is its slow speed, especially when checking websites
with thousands of links.
Quick Spy (Backlink Falcon software pack) is the most versatile checker since it crawls the top search
engines, allows you to import data directly from Seomoz and aHrefs, add links from text files, and it is
really quick.
2. How to find most of your sites links – if you want to find as many links as possible, then you could export
the links from all online backlink checkers and verify them with Quick Spy. This has proven most
accurate method of analyzing your sites backlinks profile.
