How to Find Inbound Links With Google

As web developers know, the number of inbound links to your website is crucial to improving your search engine rankings. To put it simply, an inbound link is simply another web page that provides a link to your site. However, people new to running a website often do not know how to discover which sites are linking to them. Luckily, discovering these links is very simple.

Instructions

1. Open your Internet browser and visit the Google homepage by typing "www.google.com" into your navigation bar.

2. Type "link:www.YOURDOMAIN.com," replacing "YOURDOMAIN" with your actual domain.

3. Review the search results to find exactly who is providing inbound links to your website.

Tips & Warnings

• Consider contacting other webmasters to do a link exchange if you have few inbound links. The more links your website has, the better ranking your site will have in the search results.
