I never said that it is 100% accurate, but I do think that Majestic offers the most accurate set of data available at the moment. Make sure that you have excluded all deleted links (which Majestic keeps track of as well) from your reports. If you still get accuracy rates 24/3000 -which I doubt- I'd advise you to contact Majestic directly and to show them your example. As for comparing backlink data; InfluenceFinder's John Straw has tried this, with http://www.slideshare.net/influencefinder/straw-john-linkbuilding-outside-of-the-box-updated-4136049 (sheet #6) as a result. All backlink data sets have some overlap, but offer unique data as well. As I said, not one tool is 100% accurate, which is why I don't rely on just one tool. @Bence: Of course I test Majestic’s backlink data, as I use Majestic on a daily basis.

Because I have a script which checks the reported backlink domains, whether they actually have a backlink to my website, or not. For example, if a tool like Majestic SEO reports that the domain xyz.com has a backlink to my website, my script actually visit xyz.com and finds the backlink in the HTML source code. 90% failure rate is not uncommon. For example, I checked 5 domains. According to Majestic, these domains have 3000 referring domains... After I checked all the reported backlink URLs, I found out that these domains have only 24 referring domains... Because Majestic shows a lot of outdated data. In other cases, the failure rate is about 50%. Majestic desperately needs a built-in link checker! I am very disappointed after reading your Link building tools review. For example, you wrote at http://wiep.net/link-building-tools/majestic-seo/ : "One of the most accurate link data sources available" Lol. You clearly haven't tested it. I don't like your reviews, they tell nothing. You should compare the reported backlinks of each tool. But the ACTUAL, REAL backlinks, not fake data. Use a script which checks the reported links. We need hard numbers, not just vague statements like "yeah, this is a very good link building tool". So I really cannot understand how can you rate link reporitng services, if you don't actually COMPARE the reported data, and check it yourself? I thought you are serious about link building.
