How to Find Back Links Using Google?
You can use link:example.com
For more reliable results, type the following command into the Google search box:
example.com -site:www.example.com -site:example.com
(Remember to type in your actual site, not "example.com".)
Doing this shows you pages that link to your site, minus the links on pages on your own site.
(You'll also see sites that just mention your site but don't actually link to it.)
BEWARE: A Google backlink check teases us. It does NOT show all the backlinks that Google knows about.
How to Find Back Links Using Yahoo?
At Yahoo!, type this into the search box:
link:http://www.example.com -site:www.example.com
This search excludes internal links.
(Remember to type in your actual site, not "example.com".)
Here's a refinement. For more extensive results, try this search:
linkdomain:www.example.com -site:www.example.com -site:example.com
The above search includes links to ALL pages on your site, not just the main page.
How to Find Back Links Using Msn?
At MSN, do this search: link:example.com
OR link:example.com -site:example.com
At MSN can also use:
linkdomain:example.com which shows pages that link to ALL pages on your site.
How to Find Back Links to An Individual Page?
At Yahoo!, type this into the search box:
link:http://www.example.com/page
At MSN, use
link:example.com/page
In Google, it's not so simple. Try this search:
example.com/page.html -site:example.com
It doesn't actually give you "links". It gives you mentions. However, most mentions tend to be links and it's more accurate than Google's "link:" command.
