Want to know what your website’s worth? Whether it’s to sell your website, or just for fun, Website Outlook will give you a good idea.
Just like DomainTools’ SEO Score and Website Grader’s Score, Website Outlook’s score (value) is calculated using their own made up algorithm. That means, it is just an indication! It derives the value, based on a number of factors, including Alexa Rank, Google PageRank and number of backlinks.
Check it out here: Website Outlook. Just type you URL (www.whatever.com) and click Submit.
Note: Subdomains (like subdomain.whatever.com)
I mostly use it for fun. It makes me feel good when I see the “value” of my websites go up 
Google Analytics is the tool I use. I must admit, I haven’t tried anything else. But that’s because Google Analytics already gives me more than enough information and I live by the idea that “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”
All you do is put some HTML/JavaScript code down the bottom of each page you want to be tracked and within a few minutes, Google starts tracking your life *cough* I mean, your website.
It’s completely free and you’re not forced to put a link back to Google on your site. I suspect they use the information collected for much more than we know. But oh well, Google’s going to take over the world anyway it’s inevitable. We should all just accept it!

What are backlinks?
Basically, backlinks are just incoming links. That is, links that come from other websites to your website.
Why are they important?
Google and other search engines use the number of backlinks as one of the more important factors for determining your website’s search engine rank. What’s even more important than the number is the quality of the sites linking to you.
