How to Know The Number of Websites Linking to You Using Google, Bing and Yahoo

Are you curious on how many websites linked to your and/or your content? Maybe you just want to know if all that link-building and SEO stuff paid off. I'll teach you a trick I only recently learned courtesy of the Google Webmaster Tools: How to Know The Number of Websites Linking to You Using Google, Bing and Yahoo

Instructions:

1. Go to Google.com;
2. Type (without the quotation marks) "link:www.yourwebsitehere.com". No spaces between the "link:" and the name of your website. In my case I typed "link:svr2011cheats.blogspot.com";
3. Press Search. Wait for the results to come up;
4. Presto! The number of websites and their addresses that link to you.

Like I said above, I searched my website using the "link:" command, and holy cow I got only 3 websites linking to me according to Google. It was a totally different story on Bing and Yahoo.

To find out how many websites link to you on Bing and Yahoo, read the steps below:

Instructions:

1. Go to Linkpopularity.com;
2. Enter your website URL on the box;
3. Click the "Tell my my popularity!" button;
4. A page will pop out giving you the number of websites linking to you on Google, Bing and Yahoo.

In the case of Bing and Yahoo, I got 230+ to 300+ sites linking back to Tj's Daily. I don't guarantee the accuracy of these tests, but 300+? Now that's what I wanna see.

How do you fare? How many sites are linking back to you? Well, don't just sit there. Know yours now. Leave comments below.
