How to check how many links are going to your site?

There are many tools available on the internet. You can check Webmaster Tool to check links.

Use a keyword, check your ranking then on that page you will see a check your link option.

more importantly, it's how many links the search engines have found and indexed.

First thing to do is make sure you have signed up your site to google webmaster tools (http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/). webmaster tools is usually a few days behind, but once they start showing, you'll have a good idea about what google knows.

The second place is yahoo, goto Yahoo! Search - Web Search and put in link://<site domain> (ie link://www example com (dots removed)). This will show you how many links yahoo knows about.

these are the best two locations to check.

There isn't a completely reliable way, though you can try checking Google and Yahoo as mentioned above.

Specifically, some backlinks may be indexed by one search engine but not by another. A backlink is only worth anything, according to a search engine's algorithms, if the page on which it appears is indexed by that search engine.

One way to estimate is to do searches using several different backlink-checking sites, but it remains true that information's often out of date and not as reliable as one would wish (as sometimes tends to be the case with "internet information", I find).

There can be very many different reasons for this: links can be removed; the pages on which they appeared can be removed; they can be de-indexed; they can drop enormously in page-rank (for example by "falling off" a high-pr page onto a 0-pr page on a blog, or wherever); and so on. In the case of article directory backlinks, in particular, most (not all) of them are best regarded as "temporary", anyway: if you submit an article to 500 different article directories, it's a fair bet that 400 of them won't still exist a year later - these are barely "backlinks", really, in any meaningful sense of the word).

I must be the lazy one.

I use Market Samurai's Rank Tracker module to track my rankings on Google, Bing, and Yahoo. It then shows me a count of backlinks which are discovered through Yahoo's Site Explorer. I can click the little arrow beside the number of backlinks to see where they are coming from.

I add every post I put into a blog into the Rank Tracker module to monitor the keywords the post is aimed at. I put in my YouTube videos, articles, and other content I wish to monitor, also. (Very simple to add URL's and then choose the keywords you wish to watch.)

It takes a while for it to run through the process, but the data is great, and much easier than searching it all down URL by URL, site by site.

Market Samurai is the best tool I have ever purchased, no other tool even comes close...except my laptop...

but I'd rather SEOElite than links above.

If the links are not showing anymore this means the backlinks has been deleted.I found the yahoo site explorer more useful to check the amount of links and their source.
