    simply check their backlinks from any backlink checker , it will tell you who is linking to them and then try to get links from those sites.

    Fist check through Google tool bar. Also use backlink watch or backlink analyzer from seologs .com

      That one works better in yahoo, even though with certain limitations.

        But - when you are checking - also keep in mind that search engines (or 3rd party tools that always take their info from search engines) HIDE the real number of backlinks to a specific page.

        Because if you know for sure how many backlinks any web page has, then you can quickly reverse engineer the ranking algorithm of Google or Yahoo and this is what they do not want.

        That is why search engines show only part of the backlinks they see. And as all backlink checking tools are harvesting search engines - the problem is the same. (And Google officially admits that they hide the real number of backlinks, by the way.)

        That is why no matter what fancy tool you are using - never forget that this tool is taking its info from search engines, and search engines do their best to hide this info and puzzle it. That is why you will only see part of the picture. And sometimes this part is too small to evaluate how many backlinks and what type of backlinks you need to build to get Google page 1 or Yahoo page 1.

    Interesting stuff freetraff although I usually use Link Harvester from SEO Tools - ( can't post link due to low post count..oops) - shows all the c blocks, different ip addresses, .edu links etc.

    I suggest you should download SEOPEN Toolbar for Firefox, it comes in pretty handy for this kind of research for SEO. In order to check which websites are linking to your competitor use Yahoo Site Explorer but you can only see upto 1000 results.
