How to check backlinks of a website?
After a long wedding vacation, I finally got settled in Mumbai with my hubby. Now I am trying to catch up with the SEO things. Checking backlinks of a website is a very common thing for an online marketer, but the problem arises when we are presented with different results using different techniques.
Missing links in Google’s link search
Google’s link command no longer shows all the sites linking to your site. It only shows a sample of the links pointing to your site. So these results are in no way indicative of the link algorithm used by Google to determine a page’s Page Rank.
For example, if you type link:www.askpreeti.co.in in Google’s search bar, it will not return all the sites linking to this domain.
It is believed that Google displays only link pages with Page Rank 4 or higher. This is not true. It can be verified by visiting some of the returned pages.
In order to check your website’s link popularity, you can use either of the following tools. These tools return link page alongwith the anchor text used for linking.
its very useful post for me. i need this one thanks preeti ji
Very Great Links.
Thanks for the information.
what is the advantage of those tools? they just create a list of backlinks and don’t get the real PR of those sites.
Thanks Preeti, the things you have addressed are the basic things which many of us have heard but unaware of. This is a very helpful blog I must say, happy to find this
