How Do I Use a Link Checker to Find Who Has Linked to My Blog?

Question: How Do I Use a Link Checker to Find Who Has Linked to My Blog?
Answer:

There are several ways to find out who has linked to your blog.

  • Google Link Checker Search: Enter link.yourblogDomain.com into the Google search field. Google is known to return an incomprehensive list of pages that link to your blog, but with Google's popularity, this is a commonly used method for finding who has linked to your blog.

  • MSN Link Domain Search: Enter linkdomain:yourblogDomain.com into the MSN search field. MSN's link domain search is considered to be more comprehensive than Google's link checker search.

  • Yahoo Link Checker Search: Enter link:http://yourblogDomain.com into the Yahoo search field. Yahoo's link checker search is similar to MSN's link domain search.

  • Technorati: Enter your domain into the search box at the top of the Technorati home page. Information about your blog, including sites that have linked to it, is returned. Note that this method only works if both your blog and the other blogs linking to your blog are included in Technorati's search system. Also, only blog link results are returned, not links from traditional websites, within blog comments, forums, and so on.
