When checking backlinks...

When checking backlinks to see if you can rank high for a keyword do you put the domain into the link checker tool or the exact url?

    Just do a Google search for the keywords you wish to rank for. Go to the results of that search and start at the top and enter the url of the top ranked site into the Yahoo Site Explorer. You will find out in pretty short order how many backlinks you are going to need.

    This is just a starting point however. You will need to analyze the types of backlinks they have. High authority or not etc...

        Yahoo is pretty basic in the way that it presents it's results, but it's free.

        If you want me to I can send you a much more detailed report (including the exact anchor texts) on backlinks to a site of yours (or a competitor) for free. PM me if you're interrested.

    The Yahoo Site Explorer will show you the actual backlinks to the site you are investigating.

    I agree, checking backlink counts is just a starting point. Some back links will have more power than others, some back links are worthless. Some one could have a 1,000 back links that are junk and you could over take them with 100 good back links.

    I personally don't really check back links, I just keep building till I get the ranks.
