How to check link popularity in google?

Hi,

I would like to know how many website links to mine on google.

The problem is that when I use command link:www. my domain .com google will list all pages linking to me, even my website's pages.

Do you know how can I exclude my own domain from the search so that I will get the real number of pages pointing to me?

Thanks,

Basically, you'll never get real number of pages linking to you from google.

It is a well known fact that google does not show all backlinks.

but try

http://www.google.com -site:google.com

You'll get some results but not all.

 

well I would like at least the backlinks LESS my websites pages listed on SE

 

i use www.uptimebot.com but as mentioned above, you will not get a full list of backlinks.

 

We use SEO studio to check our links. We had 1700 and rated better than fun.com
I belive you can use the term link:yoursite.com

But as mentioned this will not give you an accutate amount of links.

 

Thanks for the link - its really useful.

 

thanks for your links

 

Google does not show all websites linking to you. If you want to see all website check on yahoo.com with link:domain.com.

Here you have option where you can exclude your own domain name.

 

Generally i do link:domain.com for check Google backlinks. I will check it out this tool.

 

just check it on google webmaster.

 

I think most simple way you can see the links to your site is by sit:yoursite.com you will get the links status.

 

google is giant of search engines, it has many tools inside that normal users dont know,

try it

site:yourwebsite.com
it will list all your sites

for specific result tr this
site:yourwebsite.com keyword

just type keyword after domain, it will show result from your website for given keyword

 

Use the Google Webmaster tool! Google just won't let anybody check up on you, but you can sign in and check for yourself.

 

Try linkdiagnosis dot com.

Works only with Firefox Browser and gives some interesting info.

 

For me, I often use www.backlinkwatch.com to check backlink for my site!

 

Thk's for the info

 

Don't use google for backlink checking , you can use some kind of backlink checker tool like ahrefs.com
