I lost my blog list when I recently changed template. I am glad that I was able to recover some of my link exchanges and referrers by finding out who is linking to this site.

If you’re also interested, you can find out how many sites and which sites are linking back to your blog or website. It’s also interesting to know what people are saying about your site. There are several tools you can use to check backlinks. The search results will be pages that link to your site. I listed my top 3 below.

1. Google links – Just type the Google link command in Google search bar. Type in link:yourwebsiteurl. Using bingkay.net as an example, type in link:bingkay.net (see pic below). Do not put a space between the colon and your website URL.

2.Alta Vista Search – Simply enter your domain name only, without the http:// such as www.bingkay.net. You can also enter your site URL without the http://www.

3. Yahoo Site Explorer -Type in your website URL and don’t forget to select (under Show Inlinks:) “Except from this Domain” in the dropdown menu.
