Backlinks Checker Tools

Back Links or Incoming Back Links (IBL) are links from other websites to one of your web pages. One method search engines use to determine how popular or important a web page is, is by counting these links. Common methods used for obtaining links to your site are: Send a press release to online PR sites Send an article with a link to your site to article submission sites Submit your site to relevant online directories Join forums that are relevant to the content of your site, put a link to your site in the signature area, and submit comments to the site. Another method of increasing back links is by paying for them on other sites. Many search engines in particular Google strongly frown on this method of gaining links.

When starting a link building campaign (or continuing one), you want to be able to check your progress and see if you are indeed building any backlinks to your site. You want to be able to see if any of the links are “nofollow”, what anchor text is being used for the links, and what quality of site the links are on. Since I have gotten into link building, I have been steadily compiling a list of sites that allow you to check your backlinks. You may have heard of searching Google with “link: yourwebsite.com.” While this does work, it discourages many new (and even some experienced) webmasters because Google doesn’t include all of the links they have listed to your site. Sometimes, they don’t show any. Move beyond using this tool, and try out some of the websites below.

Not all of these sites are created equal, and I don’t think any of them can give you a definite 100% list of the amount of links that you have online pointing back to your site. That being said, some are definitely better than others. I am going to give you a summary of each one. Try them all out, and find out which ones work best for your needs, and for your specific sites.
