Backlinks
As you know, a large part of success in internet marketing (and therefore making money on the internet) is getting other websites linking back to your site. This is critical if you want to both rank well in the search engines, and therefore get more people to find your site. It does this because the search engines (Google, Yahoo and the rest) want to provide the most RELEVANT information to their customers (the people searching) and the search engines see backlinks as votes (and we all know what happens when lots of people vote, right!?).
Yahoo Site Explorer
Yahoo has a great feature called Site Explorer. By simply typing-in the full (including http://) URL into their simple interface, you will be provided with a list (see image above) of ALL of the sites that are linking back to yours. This is invaluable information, as you can see exectly who is making your site rank better. These links could be from articles you’ve written, or comments left on somebody else’s blog.
Spying
One of the best uses for this FREE tool, is that you can spy on other websites. Choose a site that is ranking well (determined by Alexa and Google for example) and then you’ll know WHO to contact about getting links back to YOUR site!
This is a great tool, so don’t forget to use it on a regular basis, at least once a month.
