How to find out if a website is linking to me

[bolton]

Hi,
Is there a Google query to find out if a particular website is linking to me? I want to see if this one website has a link to me, but its a massive website and I dont want to go through every page looking for a link to me.
thanks

type in the search box: "link:yoursite.com" without quotes and hit enter

AFAIK that will result in getting every page that's linking.

Any way to see if a particular site is linking without going through a lot of results?

"link:google.com site:yahoo.com" without quotes worked for me, looked for google.com links on all yahoo pages

google amazes me sometimes

Try the "advanced" search with Google and it will produce something like this:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&a..._nhi=&safe=off

Try the "advanced" search with Google and it will produce something like this:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&a..._nhi=&safe=off



.

this will search sites that explicitly have a "title" tag that is the .com site, the LINK: will search for any links back to the site the same way and more.

you could have

<a href="http://site.com">Site.com</a>

or

<a href="http://site.com">whatever site descrip</a>

so the link: search is a better way of going about searching for linkbacks because it will search for site.com and whatever site descrip too

you might also want to try this one:

"your link anchor text" +site:nameofthatsite.com

you should goto yahoo and type linkdomain:yoursite.com
