Link quality tool is a really exciting tool which will with the help of many other parameters check the quality of a given domain. This tool is intended for both professionals and amateurs who are just beginning to discover SEO and starting to understand that not all domains are equal and that there are many things that influence how Google and other search engines rank a given domain.
In the first phase, the tool will locate all backlinks and commence the analysis. What is important in the backlink analysis process is that the tool will only award points to unique domains. This means that if your domain has 50 links from different abc.com subpages, only the best backlink will be counted. The best backlink can get anywhere from zero to fifteen points.
The next step in the analysis is checking how many of your backlinks are found on a unique IP addresses and how many on a shared IP addresses. The higher the percentage of backlinks with a uique IP address will result in an increase in the quality of your domain.

Bearing this in mind, no follow backlinks will also be included and claculated in the final calculations. Alexa rank is a good indicator of the quality of a particular site in trems of visits and how regulary new content is added especially when talking about blogs. Knowing this, Alexa rank is the next parametar in the calculation.
Another good indicator of a quality domain is Google Page Rank especially when a domain is odler then a few months. For example, if a domain is older then 6 months and its page rank is N/A there is obviously something wrong. This example is even more obvious when the domain is older.
