3 Best Desktop Backlink Checking Tools

After analyzing various tool for check the Backlink these three i can say most effect able major facilities are:

* they fetch backlink anchor text;
* they check for “link type” (e.g. direct, nofollow, etc);
* they allow for powerful sorting options necessary to arrive at valuable conclusions.

1. Seobook BackLink Analyzer is a great free (Windows-only) application that has a number of useful options:

* backlinking TLD;
* backlink anchor text;
* linked page URL;
* backlinking site IP address;
* linking page outbound links;
* backlinking domain Dmoz and Yahoo directory presence;
* backlink nofollow flag.

It also has a handy export feature, and offers overall backlink summary, link summary per IP address and keyword-in-anchor-text summary. One more promising option I haven’t tested effectively include reciprocal link check.

2. SEO SpyGlass - another impressive (paid) application (available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X) that offers an exhaustive backlinking report:

* backlinking page Google PR;
* backlinking page title;
* reciprocal link presence;
* link anchor text;
* linked page URL;
* backlink page outbound and total links;
* backlink domain IP address;
* backlinking site Alexa rank;
* backlinking domain Dmoz and Yahoo directory mentions;

You can also save the project and enjoy a range of analysis options: anchor text, PageRank distribution, etc.

3. BackLinks Master (Windows-only app) looks neat but I had some problems to get it running. The good news is that it’s free and has a number of good features:

* you can view all links or links sorted by domain;
* it will also check the anchor text and link type.
