SEO–Link Checking Tools
Filed Under Links, SEO, Strategy, Successful Blog, Tools | 19 Comments
Checking Backlinks
Backlinks are an exciting part of watching your blog grow. Each link is a statement, a vote, that moves your blog a bit higher in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). Here are some ways for finding out about your links.
Talk Digger
Duncan Riley introduced Fred Giasson’s Talk Digger in an article in the Blog Herald this summer and I’ve been using it since. It’s a quick way to check your links at Bloglines, Blog Pulse, Feedster, Technorati, Ice Rocket, BlogDigger, PubSub, MSN, and Google all at the same time. To quote Talk Digger: Talk Digger is a meta-search engine. It asks major search engines: “Who links that URL?” The results will then be processed and displayed on Talk Digger. This is a free web service developed by Frederick Giasson.
Who Links to Me
Another tool you may have seen around the web is WhoLinkstoMe. Paste the Who Links to Me linking code into your template. Click through the link to check your own or another site’s Google Page Rank, and links found by Who Links to Me, Blogrolling, Google, Yahoo, MSN, Technorati, and Icerocket.
Related Links
Nick Wilson at Performancing had this method to check what Google considers related links. Type in the Google search box: related: yourdomain.com . Then he suggests you review the links to see what kind of sites come up. You would want a strong theme to show through. Your goal would be to answer these questions with a “yes.”
- Are most of the sites on same theme or topic as your blog?
- Are there some authorities in your niche?
THIS JUST IN:
Mark Wade of Blog Marketing, Blog Promotion for Newbies offered this addition to our list.
Ara Pehlivanian of the site of the same name offers this:
You might also want to check out the Firefox extension SEO Links by WebmasterBrain.
These should give you something to do while that turkey’s in the oven.
Happy Holiday if you’re having one. If you’re not, declare one.
