Default Accurate Link Popularity Numbers?
I am trying to tack how many links I am building, but the sources I am using vary so widely that it is hard to believe that any of them are accurate -- does anyone have a source that they feel confident is accurate?!? I am using SEOCentro, SEOMoz and Marketleap and they vary so widely it is kind of useless. Also, does anyone know why they vary so much?

thanks for your advice!
Laura

Generally speaking, I've found Yahoo site explorer shows more links, but Google shows what it considers better quality links. Go to either and type link:www.yoursite.com

None of the tools give you really great data though I do like the new SEOmoz tool, Linkscape its data seems a few months behind

It's hard to tell if the tools are accurate. I agree with this link:url you should try.
