Finding Who Links To You

SEO Tutorial - Finding Who Links To You

Most search engines offer a way to find who links to you by entering a specific type of query about your website into the search engine.

N.B. Replace www.yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.

These searches will show you who is linking to you and from which page. You can also use these searches on the regional versions of the major search engines. It is important to check your links over multiple search engines because some search engines will not show you all the links - Google in particular will only show a subset of links - and some search engines may be showing links that other engines have not yet found.

Now have a look at the links to your main competitor's site, click on the links and examine the PageRank of some of the linking pages. Also look at the Content of the linking site; would visitors to this site also be interested in what your site has to offer? If so, you have just identified a potential Link partner!

A word of caution, before you start emailing potential link partners it important that you understand how to distinguish a good link from a poor link.
