    How to check which sites link to me

    I'm a SE n00b I know google, but not much results. Is google the best way to check it, and actually view the results?
    Questions?

      Sorry I mean, I want to check which sites/pages do link to sites I own...

      like

      link:www.domain.com

      Is this the only command? It looks like I miss a lot of results

          Yahoo site explorer, type "link:www.yourdomain.com" into Yahoo and it will take you there. Note that Yahoo counts an img src across domains as a "link"

          This site may also offer you some clues

                    Actually, you should check both. There are plenty of sites that have mixed links going to the same "page" but on different hostnames. www.domain.com is not necessarily assumed to be the same as domain.com.

                      http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=...iscqry=&fr=sfp

                      Visit this link and checkout the format, -site:gfy.com is used to eliminate the links to gfy.com FROM gfy.com.

                      PS. http://www.gfy.com/ should be replaced with the page for which you are checking links. It can be http://gfy.com/ or any specific internal page.

                          ... then i started wondering about the search types and what they are specifically and why they show different results because i use them but don't really think much about it and thought i would post the link.
