Thread: How to check for external links?

I would like to asked if is their any tool to check for external links? I do hope can recommend some ...Thanks

I need to check my blogs for external links

Hi
Google Webmaster tool is the best.

Google webmaster tools is the best for checking backlinks in google:
Google Webmaster Central

Yahoo explorer is pretty good for checking all links:
Site Explorer - Yahoo! Site Explorer

I'd recommend signing up to both (if you haven't already), it's good to see how two big search engines count links.

try dead-links.com......it is also a good..

backlinkwatch .com is the best tool for checking also try on seologs .com

Try this Free Online Broken Link Checker: Site Wide! no more 1 by 1 pages or Find broken links on your site with Xenu's Link Sleuth (TM) I think Dead-links provides a good result upon checking your external links.

I prefer and use Yahoo site explorer for checking all links for the website.

Oh..I am sorry i suggested you deadlinks but i guess you are talking about backlinks..

In this case i guess yahoo site explorer, google operator to check backlinks, backlinkswatch....you need to use all as no one can really tell you the exact backlinks..

You can also try using "link:" on google search.. for example [link:www.google.com] will list webpages that have links pointing to the Google homepage.

Use backlinkwatch.com and yahoo site explorer they are accurate in checking links.

I use webceo to check the links.My friend said that we can use the command the command linkfromdomain:yourdomain.com to check the links.

You can use googel webmaster central, yahoo site explorer, backlinkwatch.com, backlinkchecker.net for effective link checks.

You can use webmaster tools or link diagnosis.

Hello, I used backlinkwatch.com in checking for external links. It's free by the way.

You can use Yahoo site explorer and my latest tool for this is Link Diagnosis.

I think the google webmaster tools > external links

I have tired using this one and it is really useful but after checking more site it says something that it can no longer do the queries coz its more of yahoo quota?.

Hello friend,
There are many online tools available to check external links. You can use Seo Quake and Google webmaster tool. Besides these, some websites also offer free services to check external links such as webconfs.com.

Thanks

Hi,

I tried the link, its simply showing the same message for all queries, is there any other effective site to check back links?

Just do a google search. There are tools all over the web that allow you to check links. I like the google tools. Also remember that links do not show up right away- They can take months and if a forum or web site ever goes under the links would dissapear.

Is there a way to get the data from google webmaster tool to display on my website?

yes, this is the best tool i have ever used.

i personally use backlink watch for checking links on my site.

Most of the online checkers will only do the more recent 1000 backlinks. If you have more it won't give you stats or data on more. But that's still pretty decent, and gives you an idea of what you have going on.

You can also try the "link" on google search .. eg [link: www.google.com] will list webpages that have links to the home page of Google.

I suggest Google Webmaster tools and Yahoo site explorer. These two are good in checking backlinks.

I have used a tool provided online by SEOMoz. You need to register a account for that.

you better use webmaster tool to check for your in and out external links but why you should worry about this?

Backlinkwatch and yahoo site explorer are the best tools to check external links.

In this case, I guess google yahoo site explorer to hear, backlinks, backlink watch .... need you all that nobody can really tell you the exact backlinks ..

I mainly use backlinkwatch.com control an external site links.There are many resources available to external links. But it is good.

Backlinks Checker Tool - Backlink Watch is a good site to check backlinks.
