Free link popularity check

This is a great little software to check who’s linking to your site or your competitor’s!

Link Popularity Check is a freeware program that checks the link popularity of your web site on several search engines and compares it to other web sites on the Internet.

You can quickly find out how many people link to your site, how many sites link to your competitors and how you compare to other sites.

Here I found great information on how to get backlinks to your web site. Check it out:

A little techniques I want to share with you (originally posted on John’s blog johnpawlett.com) for getting great back links to really give your site a boost, I add one or two of these a day and it makes a ton of difference.

Just type the link into Google (.edu for .gov for more links)

site:.edu inurl:blog “comment” -”you must be logged in” -”posting closed” -”comment closed” “your keywords”

This saves a massive amount of time in sorting through the blogs that let you have ‘link juice’ back to your site.

It’s manual but it gets really great .edu and .gov links.

I use this to find the .gov/.edu blogs everyone I find I pull up the source page and do a ctrl + F and type in “nofollow” it quickly tells me if the other people who have commented are getting the back link benefits.

To be totally contrary I still post comments on all I find anyway as these blogs are normally high traffic and you will get some visitors.
