How can see the total # of links to my site?

WMT shows only top 1000 domains that have links to my site. Where or how I can see the total number of domains or links pointing to my site ?

Thank you

Use the open site explorer to check links (http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/) . Before you start using it, i suggest you view the presentation in this link (http://www.seomoz.org/help/ose-overview)  and the FAQ (http://www.seomoz.org/help/open-site-explorer-faq)

Hi,

You can use opensiteexplorer.com, Majestic, your Google webmaster tools and Bing webmaster tools to collect all this data. Unfortunately there is no software that gives you every single link picked up... If you use all the mentioned methods above you should have most of the data.

Hope this helps.

thank you for your reply. WMT shows 142,000 links to my site, and opensiteexplorer shows 12,000. What is the difference in between opensiteexplorer and WMT. BTW I m not an seo, i m just trying to figure out what's wrong with my site.

thank you

Whilst doing some Penguin link cleanup work at BowlerHat.co.uk we have been pulling links from aHrefs, Majestic, OSE and webmaster tools and finding differences and new links in each index. Somewhat annoying, but to really get the full picture you have to use all of the tools to get the closest possible snapshot.
