    You can try this free Backlink Checker tool or just go through your GWT account under the links from external sites.

    According to GWT I have one external link to my website, yet I know there's a lot more, both from cpanel and when I look at statcounter, so I wouldn't put a lot of faith in GWT to show you your backlinks. Haven't tried the tool though.
