Question
One of the neatest tools (free) I've found in a LONG time!
http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/
You can check EACH of your pages to see who-all is linking to that particular site - and to each individual page!
If nothing else, the hunting around will amuse you for a few hours.
Enjoy!
Answer
It use to be that you could do the samething in google doing
url:http://yourURLhere.com
or maybe it was
link:http://yourURLhere.com
I forget which. But anyhow since the search engines can sometimes not have the same results the above method will work on any of them.
Answer
Hi, Rosie!
True, but Google only shows a PORTION of the actual links.
Yahoo pulls up many more.

Google has always held back URL data (long as I remember)... wonder why they do that?

Some theorize that Google holds back so that other sites can't obtain the identical links of a higher ranking site. If that's true, I think it's silly. Not every site WANTS to link to every site that asks. I know I turn down a LOT of sites - either because the site isn't relevant, or has little meaningful content, or its a link farm site, or worse yet, it's just an overall "bad" site - one that I don't wish to be associated with. (Webmaster prerogative or voir dire )
Answer
OK... I think I get it... and I think it's silly, too.
I refuse trading links quite regularly.. especially the ones that come from the (obvious) automated scripts (or programs, or whatever they are). 99.9% of them come from completely unrelated sites. Sadly, many seem to be legit commercial sites that are just trying to get established, albeit with bad SEO advice that they probably paid too much for!
Cheers
Answer
thanks for the link (and reminder to use it)... it was interesting to see where the traffic comes from...
