Backlink Quest?

[bpaynter]

How do I check on the backlinks on my site www.hotslots132.com? I tried using iblcheck.com but even on keywords where we were ranked in the top 3 or 4.. it wasn't listing our site for some strange reason. I would like to know how many links google shows for our key phrases 1/32 slot cars and Carrera Slot cars... We are still struggling to improve our positioning.

Also, I am a little confused,,, since we are a slot car shop,,, we have 3 key phrases we would like to have customers find us on... are we suppose to try to get links coming in to our site with these phrases in the text links in order to rank high for all three phrases? Obviously since we get one listing in any one place.. that is a toughie!

Thanks for clearing this up for me!

And you are correct on the linking statement. Try and get links with "1/32 slot cars" etc in the anchor text will increase your positioning for that term.

Thanks Aaron,

I was off in looking at the links.. I had been keying link: hotslots132.com .. came up with much higher numbers for myself and my competitors... Can you tell me what those links represent???

Those links are a sample from google, unknown what percentage or anything else really. They change frequently. And no, that PR4 thing is a not correct. It's possible it used to be, but not anymore.

A more accurate way is to use AltaVista, you're showing 257 there.

Thanks for your help Aaron..

Can you tell me how to check on Alta Vista? Haven't spent any of my time there...so focused on Google!

Thanks a bunch!
