How to Check What Sites Link to a Domain
When you are running a website, it can be useful to know how many and what kind of other website pages link directly to yours. Search engines use the links pointing to your website as a way to determine your ranking for a particular keyword. The more quality links -- other highly-ranked sites -- pointing to your website, the higher your site will rank in the search results for that keyword. You can monitor the pages pointing to your website by using a special keyword when performing a search on engines such as Google, Bing or Yahoo!.
