How To Find Your Links In Google

As you may know, part of getting ranked high on Google or many
other search engines depends on who links to you.

This short article will explain how to find out who is linking to your
website, using simple search techniques.

The basic way is to open up Google.com and type

link:yourdomain.com

This will show who links to your home page, including any of your
internal pages. However, this isn't always the best link search, since
Google actually only will include websites that link to you if that site
has a Google page Rank of 4 or above.

Another way to look is to type

inurl:yourdomain.com

This should show a bit more accurate results. If you look at the results
though, you will probrably see a bunch of your webpages as the link
results. To stop this from happening, you can type.

inurl:yourdomain.com -site:yourdomain.com

OR

link:yourdomain.com -site:yourdomain.com

This should exclude your website from being included in the results.

Also, you can try using "yourdomain" as a search item which will show
sites linking to you as well, make sure you include the "".

In addition, play around with these search tools. Include the www in
your search and try it without the www as well.

These search tools also work great in other search engines. Like Yahoo,
Altavista, Alltheweb and others. Keep in mind that each search engine
has different particulars and some will give better or worse results.

You can also try to use this with domains that get top ranking for your
search terms. If you do a link search on those sites, you can try and
trade links or get a backlink from your competitors links. This will
help you rank higher, since the links all wind up going to the same place.

Remember, search engine ranking is an ongoing effort and once you can
obtain good ranking, it will increase your visits, targeted sales and your
sites exposure. All Free.
