How can I check for backlinks?
Written by General Seo on Apr 30th, 2010 | Filed under: Backlinks
I have always used "links: webaddress.com" on google to find the backlinks of a site but then I tried to check the backlinks of this site which sounds similar to another popular site. When I type in it keeps showing the results of the other page. The only difference is a letter in the domain name. So now it shows the backlinks of both the sites. Is there a tool or a site where you can check for backlinks of a site.? I tried to google it but then I got some sites that don’t display proper results.. a lil help please
Google Webmaster Tools (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools) is a great place to view backlinks to your site, but doesn’t allow you to evaluate backlinks to your competitors. Yahoo’s Site Explorer (https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites) is a great place to help evaluate banklinks for both your site as well as your competitors sites.
For more advanced evaluation check out sites/tools:

Google’s link:// command only shows links to your homepage, and doesn’t show all
The absolute BEST tool for checking backlinks is Google’s Webmaster Tool
http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools
because it gives you backlinks for each page of your site. Not to mention a lot of other data and information useful to rank well in Google (e.g. how often Google crawls your site, if Google finds problems with your title and description tags, etc)
I think BackLinkWatch.com is the best free service. It shows important info like PageRank of the pages with your link, whether it is a "rel=nofollow" link and the number of other links on those particular pages
my self search like this in google |
