Murph from Baltimore, MD asks:

"Seeing as the "link:" search query is hardly ever accurate, what would your favorite/preferred way to check for inbound links be if you were a webmaster?"

  • i like mudkipz :)

  • Does anyone else find it ironic how a Google employee recommends the Yahoo Site Explorer?

  • @mattsoreco its called "doFollow" ;-) and yes, GWT shows nofollow links as well

  • Will another site gain on large text content stolen from my site ?

  • Google does not care whether it is nofollow oro non-nofollow link. It shows all links in the list

  • Besides Yahoo, there are some other very good tools out there that will show you most of your competitor's inbound links. Aaron Wall's free SEO tools, for example. BackLinkWatch for example. Some of these can even show you the Alexa Rank, etc... count the external links from each page found, etc...

  • thank you :D
