Hi All,

How do you test if someone has placed a link on their pages for you? I am going through cleaning my links page and would like to test if the websites I link exchanged with still have a link back to mine.

your help is appreciated.

thanks,
T

You could just visit the website and check to see if you see your link. Another way I use is to check my stats to see where visitors are coming from and I've discovered new links to my site that way.

well.. i am trying to clear my link list - as you know in google you need as many links back to you as possible. and if these people claim to have links to my site and they dont! i rather get rid of them. so i might not see any people visiting my site though their website.

the only way i have been trying is going to yahoo and typing in the url of that site + my website name. some tend to come back with the pages my link is on, and others show nothing. <-- those are the ones I am getting rid of!

just thought there might be some tool people use for that!

thanks :)

This is pretty cool link checker. I was quite shocked at our results. If you have lots of links it can take awhile to check links and anchors.

Right I had the same problem so installed http://www.phplinkdirectory.com and this can check all your links at any time

Saves me alot of time BUT does require the linkers to use the supplied html

The difficulty about this one, as I myself, wouldn't use people's tracking codes. As we use XML and we need clean URLS..

thanks though:) will add it to my tools list..you never know, I might need it one day ;)

Here is a cool tool:

You will need the url's of where you are being linked from. But in you have a database or spreadsheet, it is nice because you can put in 50 lines of urls at a time.

Here is the english version:
