Figuring out who links to your site Figuring out if a domain links to your website is really, really simple and you don't have to do anything complex. There are two simple and free ways in figuring out if a domain links to your website: Do a search on the search engines: If you don't have a lot of incoming links, then a simple search on any search engine in the correct format will display all who link to you. Let's say I wanted to find out who links to http://www.kellinixon.com. I would go to Google and type "link: http://www.kellinixon.com" Be sure to put a space after the colon and the word link. Thus, link: [space]http://www.example.com will bring up all of the sites linking to a particular website (as far as Google is concerned) Do this for each of the major search engines and you will get some varying results. From the results, look for the website in question to see if they are linking to you. The second method for figuring out if a domain links to your website is to use the free Google webmaster tools that are available. Sign up for an account and you will be given all kinds of free and useful information from the most important search engine on the planet. Once you are logged in and verify that you are the owner of a particular site, Google will begin to populate information in your account for you. It is not as instant as suggestion # 1 above, but it is very useful.
