5 Awesome Online Backlink Checker Tools for Your Website
This is a guest post by Mackenzie Gauvin.
Every website or blog owner should understand and know how valuable it is to have the ability to create and monitor backlinks to their website. Having inbound links to your website is essential in order to help you obtain a higher page rank on Google. However, the backlinks you should have on your site should not be based on the quantity but more importantly on their quality.
Google has made quite a revamp on the matter by which they rank websites, and backlinks are among the considerations or an important parameter used in their ranking. Website owners should be concerned about getting quality backlinks on their site as part of their search engine optimization strategy. As a matter of fact, about 95% of the efforts of SEO is focused on building quality backlinks on their site, with the focus on creating backlinks coming from sites with high Page Rank.
This process may involve quite a major undertaking, but fortunately website owners can get some help by using a backlink checker tool when checking for quality backlinks on their website. Here are 5 of the best online backlink checker/analyzer tools that do the job:

This backlink checker has a straighforward and easy to use interface. The process is simple; it provides an analysis on the backlinks for the website and also provides options such as not repeating backlinks coming from the same domain. You can also use other options such as filtering backlink search for anchor text, homepage links, outbound links and many others. The Analyze Backlink is highly intuitive to use as you can choose the kind of backlink check you want to run on your website.
-

Nice compilation of useful tools..... Backlinks are extremely important issue regarding success of a blog or website..... Thanks for sharing......
Hi Mack
nice write up. personally i'm using Ahrefs and Open Site Explorer to check site backlink and authority. Chrome and Firefox add on also come in handy with their own backlink checker.
Thank you for sharing this. Now,I only use google webmaster. I'll try those tools.
All tools are useful but there is problem that all these are paid and most of time, people is looking for free seo tools!
Nice, I have used manustic seo and open site explorer and this is the best tools for check backlinks.
Nice post, this is very important to the people who is doing seo. and i know a good backlinks checker to help promotion websites, http://siteexplorer.info is totally free and no limit, and it is very professional.
nice aricle is very important thanx
I personally use MajesticSEO and it seems so professional, it's the best tool I've used so far.
Thank you for sharing this great SEO information and tips. I love Backlinkwatch as it give very detailed reports and it is free.
Nice info. Thanks.
Thank you very good article,very helpful
Thanks for your info
Most of the online checkers are good, but for certain sites they can be very inaccurate. Some of them report tons of duplicate urls or domains and others report tons decayed links. Quick Spy (comes with Backlink Falcon bundle) and SEO Spyglass (part of the SEO Power Suite) are the only two checkers that actually verify the reported links, remove the dead ones, and then allow you to sort the found links by anchor text, PR of the linking domains, and so on.
Open site explorer has changed from 3 Free checks to 1 only. Very useful information for all seo. Thanks for compiling it together.
hello bro..
i want to know any free tool with no limits to check the reports like ahrefs,,,
Great list... very useful..
Great post. This is awesome list to check backlinks. I usually use MajesticSEO, BacklinkWatch and Ahrefs as my main tools to check backlinks for domains that I want to buy.
Nice post, These tools are really very good ones to check the back links. Great list of SEO tools.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanx for a great post.
Checking back links is a good thing, but how about tips on how to create backlinks?
If you have done your "CONTENT MARKETING" right then you should get some back links naturally, because your target audience thinks your content is great and wants to share your content with others who they believe will find your content useful.
creating useful content is the real issue that needs to be addressed by your marketing team. use the FUFISM philosophy and you will get results... people will share your information because you have taken the time to create great content, then marketed it to the correct target market group through well organised Functional User Friendly Integrated Social Media methods...
As I said checking back links is all good and well, but what if you have none? make a plan and write good content, with links to others works, then send them a mail telling them that you have quoted them, and why you quoted them. place similar posts in your social media profiles and link to them in your social media posts.
this will entice them to mention you in their posts and build organic back links to your pages. hard work, that is very time consuming... see my blog on FUFISM search 4ubrand and FUFISM on any search engine...
best source of back links is the social media... use it wisely...
once again thanx for a great article.
Nice info.
Thanks

I use content site monitor's backlink checker. It'ts a web based service that's easy to set up. Best of all, it’s free to monitor up to 3 sites!
Ahrefs shows only 10 backlink with free account but it's best as pro plans. BackLinkWatch is good as free backlink checker tool.

Hi, I use Majestic SEO before but its somewhat complicated so I switched to Colibri (colibritool.com) now and I satisfied by the result on it. Its simple and it can do to all the things you need for your webpage. Just based on my experience :).
thanks a lot admins
Great tools.
I think Backlinkwatch is really great for me when I just need to analyze backlinks only
I think the Best three are Opensite Explorer, BacklinkWatch and Majestic SEO. All 3 gives quick results and has a user friendly interface. I like the BacklinkWatch the best, it's what I'm actually using now in our company website.
Wow, great collection, thanks! I really like Ahrefs with their complete analysis of the page and the history of my backlink development!
I also love to use www.european-business-connect.de/backlinkchecker.php because they show you the PR of the backlinking page and give you an estimate of your real PR (whatever its worth).
Thanks!

Thank you for sharing the great tools here!
In addition to those mentioned in the writeup, I'd like to add fresh and huge WebMeUp backlink checker, which is currently free of charge - http://webmeup.com/tools/backlinks.html.
It finds those backlinks I didn't see in Ahrefs, so this backlink tool is both free and a good one.
thank you very good tools
There is another great online tool for checking backlinks called WebMeUp. I heard they built their own crawler which gathers millions of backlinks daily. Now it's available in SEO SpyGlass I have been using for 2 years, too. And the results are great!
Use Full tools. Thanks..
Usefull post. Thanks for information about awesome online backlink checker tools.
I'm using Majestic SEO but planning to switch to WebMeUp as its backlink tool lets find more backlinks for a site and lets analyze each backlink in more detail.
Well, I think nothing can be compared to SEO SpyGlass now. Have you tried it recently? There was a contest) 40 000 backlinks, that's amazing!!!
Great post! Link Building is important and time consuming but must be done. Just now starting.Think I might so cross eyed.

Nice tools. i love especially the AHREF!!! :)
+1 for BackLinkWatch...It's really great tool.
that s a great article i like this site
Majestic SEO is probably the best of the five listed here. SEOMoz.org's toolset is great, but Majestic just seems to be more comprehensive.
I really have enjoyed using it thus far and it has helped my SEO efforts for my site.
Thanks, for compiling this online backlink checker list, the first tool I came to know across was Yahoo site explorer, (though it's dead now), Moz's OSE is also good, but sadly they update the link data once a month.
The two of my favorite backlink checker tools these days are :
Majestic SEO - updates data nearly each day
Ahrefs- Just subscribed to this services, after reading your post and I am really impressed with the interface and updated link data.
I was looking for exactly this information. Thanks a ton for sharing it!
Thank you. This website services list is something I need. I am a beginner in backlinks building strategy and I need to see the result of my backlink building activities.
Thanks very much, i prefer ahrefs
but all of them all paid and they did not even showing they real backlinks from domain like alexa is showing , anybody tell me a like alexa ?
thanks for your great article.
This piece of information was very usefull to me, thanks.
Thank you a lot for sharing this topic. I hope it will be helpful for me.
Thanks for the handy hints :)
very useful article thanks for sharing. Back linking is important part of SEO
Great List. I use rank signal.
Very nice information. Thanks for the share
A lot more then thanks for this awesome information.
I like Open Site Explorer. Ahrefs is the largest index, but it's paid.
I have tried Ranksignals.com for checking the backlinks of my Dreamtechie.com and that tool worked very well.
Nice article bro, backlinks are always important and after panda and penguine updates, it is really necessary to keep an eye on these backlinks.
Wao! Nice Toolbar.
What about smallseotools?
They have tremendous results of backlinks.. Dofollow+nofollow both..
I like the helpful information you provide in your articles. I will bookmark your blog and check again here regularly.
I'm quite certain I'll learn lots of new stuff right here! Best of luck for the next!
Been looking for a normal backlink checker for months.
Most of them want a lot of money.
Nice info. One question you might be able to clear up for me - how long do backlinks take to appear and why do different backlink tools show different results?
Cheers, Chris

Great compilation. Those are quality SEO tools.
Great post, lots of very useful links and help, thank you very much!
I am using backlink watch from long time, it's free tool but didn't show accurate result. Few of my friends are using Ahrefs tool and according it's good. I am also thinking to try that. Let see...
Its such a nice content with explanation. I am using backlinkwatch from last 1 year and it helps me a lot.
memang selalu guna semua tu. hoho..
Thanks for the post. It will useful for the Website/blog owners. Keep updating.
none can give the same result like google webmaster tools
i've just tried them all, including Backlink watch and Ahrefs.com.., i find ahrefs much better but it shows very few links for the free users.., apart from this "opensiteexplorer" also good. :) thanks for proving this information,
