Statistics -- Incoming Links

   William F. Torpeyposted 15 years ago

   HubPages provides statistics on our hubs that include, under "metrics," one or more asterisks indicating "Incoming Links. My question is this: Is there any way we can tell where these links are coming from?

   Thanks, gamergirl. If I can figure out how and where to insert that code it will be great. The site looks good.

   Yahoo is simple to use on any site https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites
   you probably want to choose show links "except from this domain" otherwise all you will see is other hubs!

   I also use:
   
   http://www.backlinkwatch.com
   
   This website is very good because it tells you what websites are linking to your hubs with follow and no-follow links on google.  I love my backlinkwatch .

   The Google tool is useless for looking at backlinks.  Matt Cutts with Google has stated that they intentionally don't report all the links they see, and if you have a website with the Google Webmaster tool installed, you can see for yourself that they actually see a lot more links than they show in the link:site,com command because the number of links they show in the Webmaster tools is always much higher than the number they show in the link: command.
   
   The Yahoo tool is a much better look at the number of links that even Google is seeing than the Google tool.

      I like to use backlinkwatch.com also because it detects links that the yahoo tool does not.  iwebtool.com is another good one.

    I like www.marketleap.com - get Google, Yahoo, and MSN reports in one.
    
    But like the poster above mentioned, Google doesn't show all backlinks - but I believe that Yahoo does.

    Please don't reply to this post.
    That's a spam link and this is a five-year-old thread.
