So there you go. When analyzing backlinks to websites, Link Diagnosis and Blekko are a couple tools you can use to do just that.
Again, there are plenty out there, some are free and some are premium or pro versions that you can pay for. But take some time to investigate what works for you and the information provided by these tools.
Another point to keep in mind with these types of tools: Not all tools are going to show you every single backlink to a site. So use them as a guide to help you understand more about backlinks.

Yahoo Site Explorer was really good tool to find out backlinks for a domain. Sad it is now closed.
Yep, I definitely agree.
Teachers do not catch on the every little thing quickly. 30+ years of teaching did not prepare me for backlinks, HTML, and SEO. One thing we can do is research. Thank you for valuable information for one who is entering the unknown. I can do this!
Good for you Deborah. You definitely can do this. A+
I am so embarrassed. I did not proofread my comment. Bad teacher. Yep, there is an error. Sorry about that. My reputation is now tainted. Thanks again for your help.
Reading the article had given me keen insights about Backlinks. I appreciate your effort in explaining them with precise examples. But I am confused with linking to .gov and .edu sites. So, do you mean that these sites should link to us. But, what if we have a .gov and .edu link in our website, does it get us traffic too. I am referring to reciprocal links, would they work.
Hi uday kiran, No. You can link to .gov and .edu site but it’s the other way around, if your site gets a link from a .gov or a .edu site, then that is a much higher quality link and worth much more than a bunch of medium quality links. Hope that helps.
