Reverse Backlinks

Posted: 12 years ago 5 replies

Is there any way I can track how many backlinks I have given another website? That is to say, if I have linked to someone else's webpage, is there a means for me to know how many of these links have been crawled by Google and indexed? In other words, I want to know, if a webmaster looked at HIS/HER backlink count in their Google webmaster panel, how many links MY domain would be credited with?

I need to place a general link value on the number of backlinks I am giving someone else.

Is there an easy way to track this?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Let me be more specific:

Most of the links found in the back-link services are intended to provide general information about your INBOUND links not OUTBOUND link value...

I have a rotating batch of thousands of domains to which my site gives value, where attorneys pay me to be on tens of thousands of law related web-pages. I need an automated way of tracking the number of indexed back-links THEY are receiving from the constant Google/Bing crawls on my pages (average about 50,000 crawls per day). I am trying to discover a way to automate a tracking process that allows me to know who's getting how many back-links from me... it needs to be quick and efficient (likely need to be scripted) and fully automated, probably running almost continually since certain reports go out to the clients routinely. I can easily track which pages are crawled and what attorneys were linked on these pages but I need to know within some level of assurance how these crawls are affecting my clients backlinks. Some clients report receiving 1,000's of back-links from me (Statutes/law content is huge).

So as I am sifting thru the many 'services' what Im really wondering is how THEY get this information since I would likely have to script discovery thru their sites and trust their information rather than develop my own methods...

So maybe my question really ought to be: "How do these sites collect back-link information for specific domains?"

There is some software called Xenu that could be of assistance. Don't let the download page put you off, it is a nice piece of code: Find broken links on your site with Xenu's Link Sleuth (TM)

Once you produce your list of links and filter them in Excel, you can then load them into Scrapebox to see if they are indexed or have PR.

  Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the program is essentially a crawler. This won't work for my site because of the sheer quantity of links to follow. There are several million internal hyperlinks. Any normal crawler/website analyzer, etc., craters.
  
  I know what pages have been crawled but what I really need to validate is what backlinks end up in google for my clients. No, they don't pay me for these links but the backlinks they receive from being on thousands of pages of law have value nonetheless.
  
  Thanks
