Backlinks are of quality type if they are relevant, for example for a Blog publishing “Free Online Tools” will have have good type of backlinks if they are from relevant blogs.
Blogs that are based on online tools contents, now if they are from Blog having higher page rank then they will be quality too.
Finding and Evaluating backlinks
Finding Backlinks are easy, once you done the first then the last phase would be evaluating and gaining for yours website.
We’ll be using Backlink checker tools to find out all backlinks for a website, note that we can search out not just own website backlinks but also someone else (Competitor), checking own website backlinks will be important for gathering back-links data, for competitor website checking it will be good for us too because we want also to have backlinks from websites that our competitor have already.
Once we get a list of all backlinks of our website, then we have to evaluate the type and how they are linked.

There are numerous tools available online to search backlinks, following are some of them.
Ahrefs
Ahrefs, allow you get free reports of all backlinks pointing to your website, the best thing about this tools is you it show you diagrammatically all data, for example a graph showing the date when you had an amount of backlinks, and were they increasing or decreasing, how much backlinks and the type of backlinks that is- how much of them are nofollow and dofollow. The best think I like in ahrefs is that it shows anchor text cloud which demonstrate the overall picture of most linked keyword (anchor text) as well as graphic representation of phrases.
Open Site Explorer
OpenSiteExplorer, Developed by SEOMoz (Now Only Moz), most of the features and reports are similar to ahrefs, allow you check backlinks free and get analysis reports.

I've checked your tool, it is fast and work good, But just lack of data. I think the developer of this tool should increase their budget and should improve the tool. I'd just say to optimize database of backlinks.
I tried it but I think it doesn't work properly, it looks weird…and i don't believe the reults
It's Database that storing Backlinks information about a website is't updated. they needs to update and improve it.
