Every blogger or Web designer is crazy about knowing the amount of back links getting to his blog or website. Even some of the top popular bloggers too keep a check on back links numbers. Back links play a main role in the popularity and the ranking of the blogs and sites. Search Engines rank a blog or web page by detecting the number of back links to it. Thus page rank of a page is developed by counting the number of back links to it.

Here are some measures to detect the amount back links to your site:
1. Yahoo site Explorer:

2. Googling your site name on popular Search engines:
Searching for your site name or site address on popular search engines will help you in finding back links to your site. This method usually works better if your blog is two months or older with some handful number of post. The popular search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. uses different keywords to display back links. The examples below will help you searching for your back links. Replace www.example.com to your blog or web page address.

Google - link: www.example.com
Yahoo - link:http://www.example.com (automatically directs to the above method!)
MSN - linkdomain: www.example.com
