Joost de Valk's extension : http://www.joostdevalk.nl/code/greasemonkey/gwt-external-links/ A great tool.
Wow - does work wonders. I just installed greasemonkey in firefox for this - so for people who are just as noob as I am (or worse): 1) you need to first install greasemonkey https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 2) Then go to Joostdevalk: http://www.joostdevalk.nl/code/greasemonkey/gwt-external-links/ 3) Then loginto https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools
you can use yahoo site explorer or google webmaster tool. both of them will give you the real answers
That doesn't return nearly as many backlinks as google webmaster tools does. Google webmaster tools is really the best thing on the block. If you don't want to log in, you can use yahoo siteexplorer instead, or MSN. Both are better then google for tracking the backlinks your competition has.
Pretty amateur question. But answered very well. Thank you for tools. I am also new to few suggested here.
you may get "how many backlinks" as your answer easily but most of time google and yahoo only list massive mess messages as backlink's search results
