Can anyone tell me if there is a fallproof way of finding out what sites are linking to your site, not to just the homepage but to any page within the site? I have been recommended many ways including: Yahoo site explorer – this shows that I have many links coming into the site, but it does not show all of them (I have gone through manually checking sites I have had contact with and can see links to my site that are not showing up in Yahoo site explorer). Google link:URL this only shows about 15 internal links and 2 inbound links Go through checking sites of those we have written to Google webmaster console - it tells me that 356 pages of my site are indexed and yet when I click on show "Inbound links" it does not show any incoming links, only internal ones. Someone had previously recommended adding the Google sitemap, but the fact that it already has 356 pages indexes and yet still does not show inbound links to those pages suggests that the lack of a Google site map is not the problem. Is there really no tool/method that allows you to see exactly what sites are linking to your entire site, not just your homepage? Its frustrating putting all the effort into campaigning for backlinks and then not even being able to see whether you have any. Thanks for your help.
I use www.backlinkwatch.com it is pretty handy but I am not sure if it will catch every single incomming link.
