Question How to check competitor's backlinks
Does anybody know how to do this? I'm sure there is a Google command like site: but I can't recall what it is. I want to see what actual backlinks a competitor has.

Google won't show you all that data. It's very limited.

link:
The query [link:] will list webpages that have links to the specified webpage. For instance, [link:www.google.com] will list webpages that have links pointing to the Google homepage. Note there can be no space between the "link:" and the web page URL.

You won't see very much of your competitor's shit doing it that way though. You should use something like seospyglass.

backlinkwatch is free if your just looking for a general idea of what's going on. Not so good for checking out what the quality of the links are though.

Majesticseo too, although I have an ahrefs sub as it's better value.

I have been doing that checking for competitors backlinks for quite long already. What I usually do is to grab some tools which are free to download on my PC. Try to search on competitors backlinks checker tool. Hope you find this very useful.

Majestic SEO is a good tool but not having competitor metrics is a bit of a draw back.

I used both SEO Spyglass and the search query link:[domain] and just note that searching link:domain misses many of the results you will find when you run the domain in SEO Spyglass. I really recommend using SEO Spyglass.

Damn. There are so many. I guess I just don't want to spend too much money. Checking backlinks is necessary for keyword research right? I mean LTP and MS both have the capability to do this, but it's not an in depth look to my understanding.

I've seen a lot about Scrapebox...what does it do and is it worth the money? I have to STOP buying all these tools! I've spent way more than I am making.
