If you run a website there must’ve been times that you wonder how to find out who is actually “talking” about or linking to your website. Most people already know this, but I’m writing about it for those that might not know it.
Getting people to linking to your website helps with your search engine rankings, and specifically Google’s PageRank. If you want to monitor your Google Page rank check out GoogleRank.co.za. That website helps you with your PageRank. The better your PageRank the better Google thinks you are… simple.
Now let’s look at how you can find out what websites are linking to you.
Google – http://www.google.com
Simply type in link:www.website.co.za replacing the www.website.co.za with your actual website. This will give you a list of all the websites Google has in it’s index that contains a link to your website.
Yahoo – http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search
Here you’ll just type in your url such as http://www.website.co.za and hit Explore URL. Once the search results are shown, click on the Inbound Links button.
You can also use this url http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?p=www.website.co.za&fr=sfp&bwm=i and just replace the www.website.co.za with your actualy website address.
Ask – http://www.ask.com
With Ask you can type in link to:http://www.website.co.za to show you all the websites in Ask’s index that links to you
AllTheWebsite – http://www.alltheweb.com
Type in link:http://www.website.co.za just like you would with Google
AltaVista – http://www.altavista.com
And AltaVista is also the same as Google, link:http://www.website.co.za
Is this too much work?
