How do I check my backlinks?

    Hi,

    I usually use my Google Webmaster Central account or Yahoo Site Explorer to check what one way links I have pointing to my site.

    However, Google Webmasters tool doesn't seem to show quite a few of the DoFollow links that I know for sure that I have linking to my home page.

    Question

    1. Is this normal?

    2. What is the best tool for checking the links pointing to my site?

    3. Can I check what the anchor text is in the links that point to my site?

    Thanks

    Use the 'linkdomain' command on yahoo, eg:

    linkdomain:yoursite.com -site:yoursite.com

    This finds all the backlinks to yoursite.com and removes any links from yoursite.com from the list (it removes internal links).

    This is the one I use

    Link Checker

    However, my links have dropped off significantly in the last couple of days, so I am not sure if it a problem with the site or my site.

    I have just tried backlinkwatch on your recommendation and it is also very useful.

    Thanks

    1. Yes, Google consider not all dofollow backlinsk you have and Google Webmaster doesn`t show all backlinks Google consider
    2. I use Yazzle
    3. Of course, Yazzle and backlinkeatch both show them

    Link checker doesn't even work. I don't know why people are recommending it.

    Google webmaster works but they don't always show all of them, and it can be a little slow in updating.

    You can use yahoo site explorer, backlinkwatch, backlinkhunter and wholinkstome.com sites to see and check on your backlinks.

    I am not really good about this but someone referred me to backlinkwatch and it is really good to use at. Actually I know their are other ways like XEnu but I still prefer using backlinkwatch

    Check the backlinks from linkpopularity.com. It shows backlinks in Google, Yahoo and MSN.
