Backlinks (otherwise known as inbound links) are a crucial part of how well your website will perform in the search engine. Each link to your website is effectively a "vote" and the more "votes you get, the more search engines will give your website preference. However it's not just about quantity of inbound links, but also the quality. One good link from a highly trusted, reputable, website is much better than thousands of links from dodgy, spammy, linkfarms.

Inbound links to your website play a very important part in search engine optimisation. Use this tool to check the number of inbound links to your website.

This tool scans a website and analyzes a site's internal linking structure, as well as looking at any links which point to external websites. It will also show the hyperlink anchor text, as well as indicate whether the links have the "nofollow" attribute.

One of the hardest aspects of SEO is finding and aquiring appropriate links for your website. This link locator tool scans the search engine for websites which are: A) related to your search term (appearing in the search engine rankings for that keyowrd or search phrase).' B) Have keywords which (may) indicate that you can submit or add your link. You can find different potential link partners by narrowing your search with the following search terms from the drop down menu: "Add site, Add a site, Add URL, Add a URL, Ads, Advertiser Testimonials, Article, Articles, Blog, Blogs, Buy Links, Directory, Directories, Donate, Donation, Donations, Ezine, Ezine Ads, Links, Merchants, Newsletter, Newsletter Ads, Rent Links, Resources, Related sites, Related urls, Sites, Sponsors, Sponsorship, Submit a link, Submit a site, Submit URL, Submit an URL, Suggest a link, Suggest a site, Suggest URL, Suggest an URL, Thanks to Our Sponsors, Tips, Vendors, Weblog, Websites"

This tool will scan a website (URL) for any "nofollow" links. The nofollow attribute was introduced to combat comment spam, and also to allow webmasters to link to an a website without passing any "link juice". Although search engines *will* follow nofollow links, they will not attribute any link value to the hyperlink.

This tool will allow you to check and inspect multiple websites to see if they are linking back to you. If you are participating in a link exchange, some webmasters may try to remove their links to your website, in the hope that you will only link to them and they not to you, long after your agreement was put in place. For this tool to function correctly you must first enter your website and then up to 10 other websites which are meant to be linking to you in a reciprocal nature.
