Here i go with my first question (and my second post

): Often i use the free online tool at dnscoop.com to check on a simple interface how many backlinks, alexa traffic, Google PR and some other info of my sites. bur recently i registered an .EU domain Name, well this extension isn't supported by this script so my question is: can someone points me to a simmilar tool that allows this kind of domain?, i would check number of backlinks, alexa and so on for my site but don't know where. Thanks in advance!.

@ Mods: if i made this post on wrong category pls move it to right one

Then instead of making this kind of comments can you suggest me a good tool?

Why would you think I would even know of one to check something pointless??

These

how many backlinks, alexa traffic, Google PR

are easily the three most useless thing to know about your site, and I'll bet that you only check them because you "read it on the Internet" that it is something you should be doing.

Nope, just misguided by the sheer amount of garbage information there is around.

Some of it may have been close to accurate or useful 7 or 8 years ago, but it isn't any more, yet it still gets dragged to the forefront.

That's ok you are right but waht i need is to know how many pages are pointing to my site and where, that's why i check backlinks. any "smarter" way to retrieve this info?.

Ok Why do you need to know how many backlinks there are?
That's a genuine question, in over 10 years I have never understood the reasoning for it.

The only ones you need to know about are the ones that send REAL visitors and you can find that out from your logs.

Lol, well to answer your question you can use yahoo to find backlinks, any number of free tools for google PR, and alexa itself for alexa rank. Sorry if that was not really answering your questions. I don't know of any off hand that do it all at once, and some that I did see at one point often didn't have accurate results.
