I did contradict myself... but i did say unless you are indexing the entire web, there is no way to know. For most of the life of SEO, people had to rely on what was provided by search engines which was never much. Are these tools secret? Why not just post the links? I haven't been too worried about it in recent years but I would be interested to see them. I remember seomoz was starting to do this years back but their tools still relied on search engines reporting back to them, as i recall. Being that Google announced they had passed 3 trillion pages indexed in 2008, i really can't imagine anyone trying to index the web as a "tool" as it would require unreal computing power and storage and couldn't possibly pay for itself by selling the tool or providing access.
