So,you've been working on your search engine optimization for a while building links to your website all over creation and when you check your site's backlink count you find very few! What's up with that? Why is it so hard to get backlink data about my site?
It’s not a secret that the search engines really don’t want you to have a whole lot of information about your website or your competitor's sites,especially when it comes to backlinks.
The data from Google has been unreliable for a long time. There aren't many internet marketers who trust their tracking tools (Google Analytics). The option is using Yahoo’s Site Explorer. However,now that Yahoo has been purchased by Bing,it to is going the way of Google… unreliable data!
So what should you do if you are wanting good,reliable link stats?
Well,the best thing to do is to access a massive database compiled by MajesticSEO.com . It's a privately held company with no ax to grind in skewing results and they have been sending out their bots and gathering data to build a comprehensive database of website information. And the great thing about it is that the search engines don't have any say about how that information is given out!
The only caveat is that there may be a 2–6 week delay in stats refreshing,depending on your site and the sites linking to it.
