google backlinks

Yes and so was your post. Somebody asked a genuine question and is obviously trying to learn something. The term Google Backlinks is commonly defined and found by that search query I added. Whether it works 100% or not is not the point and the remainder of my post clearly gave better methods to find the information the person who originally asked the question would be looking for. When somebody asks a genuine question and wants to learn something constructive answers will be far more useful.

they have learnt something with my reply, that the google link tool (link:domainname) doesn't work, which then leads to the same ending, total waste of time

There are several tools that will give you a really good idea about your Back links.

You can never know for sure, unless google tells you (It nevr happened Google can tells you)But I think it is safe to assume that Google knows what all the tools know... and then some.

Regarding the original post, I find that Ahrefs.com is the best tool for tracking links. A free account will get you 15 searches a day but I do suggest to pay for it, they also have a very good link tool that will help you avoid a penguin penalty. OSE is an ok tool but is slow to update, however they provide a better view for when acquiring links the Domain Authority and Page Authority DA/PA are important factors to consider.

Regarding the argument about the link disallow or disavow whatever you want to call it, I did hear Matt Cutts talk about this briefly. He stated they were "thinking" about it which could mean anything, I personally will not be anticipating this tool coming any time soon. In my experience and opinion this tool is not even needed, a long time ago I had someone backlink spam my site and I didn't lose any rankings. Also these links have died off after a while as the spammers remove them to spam other sites. Granted that was like 2 years ago but I have seen sites that are still ranking even though they have lots of what we consider backlink spam. I feel like the only people that want this button are the people that have manually either bought crappy links or have a google penalty.

The font size of some of the posts are small here. It's really hard to read them.

It is accurate, it will be counting site wide links as individuals.

how accurate is alexa for seeing sites linking in to my site?

Not accurate, I wouldn't use Alexa for that

[PioneerRalph]

ok, thanks FLC

Google never shows how many backlinks there are. There is really no way ok knowing to the best of my knowledge.

Alexa is not accurate at anything. I don't use it to track site performance or backlinks.

Righto, will make sure I ignore Alexa completely!

I agree, it shows much smaller number than the real one...
