how to check backlinks?

[blewatt]

Hi Everyone,

How to check how many different sources on the internet point back to my website (peoples blogs, your articles, videos etc). Are there any tools available to check it or we can enter in the google search box? Please let me know how to find.

Thanks in advance

This is just one place you can check the amount of backlinks you have: http://webquirk.com/tools/SEO/backlink-checker

I've used it before and it is a decent tool.

You can also use backlinkwatch.com to check the number of backlinks and anchor text that's being used.

** very useful to check the anchor text & backlinks that your competitor has
