Curious About Your Backlinks?

Posted on September 13th, 2009 by Urbain


Have you wondered what sites are linking to your blog or webpage?  There’s a free resources called Backlink Watch that will give you an excellent report on what sites are linking to you, the page rank of those sites, and whether or not they have a follow or no follow tag.

Just enter your URL and the script goes to work.

BacklinkReport01

As you can see from the image above, the script will count the number of sites that are linking to you and process the information.  The data that shows on the report looks like the image below, which included over 28,000 links (some of these were from the same site, so the final grouping came to 964 total links).  The “OBL” information refers to the number of outbound links from the site that has linked your web page.

Scott Standke, of NicheADay, recommends that Internet marketers check the backlinks of their competitors.

    I use SEOMOZ’s seo tools to check the backlinks of my competitors. But this tool is interesting. A little bit slow but does a good job on checking the backlinks, especially with the flag column. Loved that column :) It shows me where to get dofollow links!

      I agree with you, Internet Business. I use SEO Quake’s Firefox add-on and can get tremendous info from that, but the do-follow and flag column is fantastic. It does run a bit slow from my end, too, as it processes all the links, but it’s worth the wait.

    That’s a very useful toll; i like it because it offers a lot of info on the backlinks, even if they are nofollow or not. It’s great!

    Seems like a useful tool because of its depth. I would like to see more feedback from users on how they use the data acquired from the tool.
