You need Open Site Explorer

You can get some info in the free version - but if you sign up for the free 30 day trial (see the link in my sig) you can get a lot more data. Getting an SEO Moz Pro account is pretty useful any way IMO, but it depends on your needs.

The link command in Google only gives a random snap shot of links they know about.

SEOquake addon for Firefox is useful... although it busy-ups your search results.

You can have all the software in the world, Google will not show you every link.

really neilh, i accept you , more rules and regulation is coming for the search engine, using software gives moderate answer's only
