HI
What is the correct method to check how many backlinks my domian has ?
someone told me to use " link:www*domian*com"
Is it correctly ?
thanks
 
Installing google toolbar is a good way, enable the page rank option and there is an option to view back links
 
I use siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com

Shows backlinks that Yahoo sees at least.

but that only show backlinks in yahoo not google.my some domians have more backlinks in yahoo, but have no any backlinks in google .
google very strictly than yahoo ?
 
No, Google just doesn't show them, even though it counts them. Either sign up to Goggle webmaster tools (all banklinks are shown in there) or go to yah00.com and type linkdomain:yourdomain.com
 
yahoo link explorer and also try to use the Link Scape tool from the SEOmoz tools to spy on your competitor's backlinks.
 
Just go to a site called backlinkwatch. You can check anyone's backlinks there.
 
This is another excellent pagerank checker tool...

Shows you loads of data on your site.
 
Here is how you are going to check your backlinks for each SE: For Google --> link:wwwDOTdomainDOTcom For Yahoo --> link:wwwDOTdomainDOTcom For MSN -->inbody:wwwDOTdomainDOTcom For AltaVista --> linkdomain:wwwDOTdomainDOTcom For AllTheWeb -->link:>wwwDOTdomainDOTcom
 
Although your format for Goggle is correct, this will not display ALL of your backlinks, in fact typically it returns very few backlinks. You need to join Goggle webmaster tools to see all of the backlinks that Goggle recognises.
 
Thank you for asking this kind of questions, I'm doing some backlink building and I don't know how check the numbers of backlink.
Thanks to backlink watch tool for helping me figure it out. :)
 
The Google search won't return ALL of your back-links. You'd be better of using Google Webmaster Tools or one of the sites people already have mentioned before.
 
A very good method to find backlinks to your site and more information is push2check dot com. I am using it.
