Building Backlinks: How To Do A Backlink Check On Yahoo

The idea behind including backlinks
as part of the page rank algorithm is that if a page is good, people
will start linking to it. And the more backlinks a page has, the better.
But in practice it is not exactly like this. Or at least you cannot
always rely on the fact that your contents is good and people will link
to you. Yes, if your content is good and relevant you can get a lot of quality backlinks,
including from sites with similar topic as yours (and these are the
most valuable kind of backlinks, especially if the anchor text contains
your keywords) but what you get without efforts could be less than what
you need to successfully promote your site.

Building backlinks
(incoming links) to your website is one of the most important
activities that you can do when it comes to improving your SEO (search
engine optimization) and search engine rank. So, if you've been
diligently working on a link building, you're also probably curious to
figure out how many of your links have been detected by the various
search engines. This article will explain one simple method of how you
can do a backlink check using Yahoo.

For those of you who are new to link building
and the concept, here is a very brief description of what it is and why
you want to do it. Basically, the search engines rank every website
that is on the internet. There are many things that go into the result
of your website's final score, but webmasters
do know one fact for sure. Something that will really bring up your
website in rank is having many quality backlinks (links coming from
another site to your site). Search engines
use this criteria to judge just how good your site is. If you have
other sites linking to you, then it must mean that you have valuable
information that should be ranked highly. And if your site is ranked
high, it means that you will come up first in the search engines when
someone does a search for whatever term that is relevant to your
website/business. And this translates to you getting more traffic, more
sales and more income.

So, you go through the many methods of acquiring backlinks (submitting to directories, requesting links, submitting to article directories,
etc.). This is usually time-consuming and frustrating work but it does
pay off if you are consistent and you keep track of your progress.
That's where the backlink check comes in.  

To check your backlinks on Yahoo, just type in "site:www.yoursitename.com"
into the Yahoo search engine. Then click "web search". You will see the
results further down where it shows you your "Inlinks". Just click on
this tab and you will see the details about the links that are coming to
you. If you want to filter the results even further to make sure you
are viewing only the links from other websites (and not within your
own), then just click on the drop-down menu that says "from all pages"
and change it to "except from this domain". Now you will see all of the
links that are coming to you. You can play around with the other
drop-down options as well. 

So
that's how you can do a very general backlink check on Yahoo. To get
more detail on the links, just click on each item and check the keywords
that are being linked to - this can also give you more information
about what keywords are working well and more popular and how to go
about your future link building efforts.
