Share your opinion on the best backlink checker you&amp;#39;ve come across on your Web travels and test out a service we&amp;#39;ve found that we&amp;#39;re sure you will enjoy.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps my personal favorite of all of the backlink checkers I have come across is the one provided by &lt;b&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" title="PageRank Backlink" href="http://www.smartpagerank.com/pagerank-backlinks.php"&gt;Smart PageRank&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. The tool quickly checks the anchor text used on inbound links, the PageRank of the pages, and even detects whether the link is a nofollow or not. One possible improvement of the service might be to include sorting so that users of the tool could find the highest PR sites quicker, but all in all it is an excellent tool and one you should definitely bookmark for future use. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What&amp;#39;s your favorite free backlink checker?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Share your opinions now by submitting a comment below!&lt;/p&gt;
