Tracking inbound links

[ChristineMe]

Hey,

I am a newbie with a few questions related to the inbound links. To be more clear, I need to know how can I track the inbound links to my website?
Which is one is the most indicated tool to track the inbound links? I would like to be able to know which days produced the largest increase of inbound links, someone from webcosmoforums suggested to use Google webmaster tools, but from what I hear this shows only a small fraction of the actual inbound links.
Does anyoneone here, have a better suggestion?
I do not posses any impressive knowledge about SEO and I would like to keep it simple, and I don't know if it is too much to ask,but productive.

Any help would be very much appreciated,


Thanks,

Unfortunately the data which is out there is third party only given search engines such as Google will only provide a minimal subset... So your choices are limited to such providers as Moz, Majestic, Ahrefs etc... Some of which are free options which tends to be less accurate, however its important to realize all of them are inaccurate in that they may not reflect the latest updates or links which have been removed....

I found this [URLnf="http://linksphinx.com/backlink-checker-tools/"]article [/URLnf]which lists 41 backlink checkers which you may find useful...

On that note best of luck!

No tool is going to do what you ask. Webmaster Tools, Ahrefs, Majestic... None of them are going to report when a link was created. They will only report to you when they found the link, which might be 3 months after it was created.
