best way of finding a site's backlinks?

Anyone have any strategies or tips on finding a complete list on a site's backlinks?

 

I personally just use Yahoo's site explorer, you can choose "Inlinks" to view all backlinks pointing to a particular site/URL.

 

i've tried that already but they show a max of 1000 links.

 

use google by the following sample query is link:yourdomain.com

You can also check webmaster tool for checking backlinks of a website

 

No option is better than yahoo site explorer. You can get here maximum backlinks.

 

I hear backlinkwatch is good

 

Market Samurai. 'nuff said.

 

Yahoo site explorer is a good tool for that, use it.

 

Use yahoo site explorer

 

can use traffic travis. its free tool

 

Traffic Travis is good if you're trying to build an adsense site. I personally liked link assistant, but it's not free.

 

If you have mozilla firefox in your system, there is a free add-on called SEO-Quake, download it. It will have a toolbar with all the details you want of that particular site. Once the toolbar is downloaded, you just have to open the site url in the address bar and you will get all the inlinks as well as backlinks it has from other sites.

 

I recommend the SEOpen Firefox Plugin. There you can do a mass check. It opens several backlink searches (Yahoo etc.) in separate tabs.

 

Yes, this is the correct free way to find back-links of competitor.

 

Use google webmasters tools. at first, yahoo explorer indexed more backlinks than google webmasters tools. but in the ends, google webmasters indexed more every link i made..

 

Try to look for your site's backlinks using Yahoo Site Explorer
