    your question is not clear, Where do you want to check, If I am not mistaken you are talking about outbond links but you have not mentioned on which site you want to calculate.. On yours site, if so then you know it better than any one. Explain your query in details also tell what exactly you tried in webmaster tool?? I am sure you will get a quick response..

    Hi,

    Most everyone uses Yahoo. To do this go to yahoo.com and type linkdomain:yourdomain.com.

    When using link:domain.com in Google, only my pageranked sites display any links.

    Cheers,

    link:website.com - This will show dofollow links only.
