How many links ?

[raider23]

On internet explorer there is a way to check how many links I have to my site. Unfortunately I have forgotten how to do it
Can anyone help?

I am not sure where on explorer you would find that, but you can check on google in the search box with "link: url name"

See if that brings the results you want.

You can check with

Yahoo Site Explorer - Shows all Yahoo backlinks

Google Webmaster Tools - under links tab, gives much more info than just using link: site name



OTHER TOOLS:

SEOPro Backlink Checker - really comprehensive information

Link Diagnosis - examine your link competition - Lots of comprehensive info about all your links, includes anchor text, link strength, no-follow, do-follow and more.

Also, if you want to really have the ultimate tool for this, there is SEO Elite, costs some bucks, but is really useful.

By the way: Don't use these the "other tools" too often as it's against Google TOS to use automated software, just once in a while.

If you use the webmaster tools on Google, Yahoo and Bing they all will tell you your links that you are credited with. I have never heard of any browser that does that. I am curious though.

Just install firefox and get that seo book toolbar addon it has tons of great features for anyone who does search engine optimization work.

i used Yahoo site explorer, it works great

As Next Day Flyrs said, SEO for Firefox allows you to search google and check amount of links associated with any site

Just do a google search for it, it will be the top result, download and install, I find it invaluable

There are no ways to check your sites backlinks in Internet Explorer. Go to google.com and type link:your site URL

Also there are few sites through which you can check backlink of your site. like searchenginegenie.com

I use google webmaster tool, though it is not very accurate, it is the best way to get some information from google.
