Most of us have always
wondered what sites on the net
have established links to us.
Where are we getting some of our
traffic from? There are many web
sites that will link to you without
even letting you know. I know
you might find this hard to believe,
but many site owners who find
your site interesting may link
to it from their site under the
"resources" or "other related
links" webpage.
What about those
people with whom you have exchanged
links? Are those links still active,
or have they been removed?
There is a way to
find out who has linked to you:
Alta Vista (http://www.altavista.com)
has a feature that will show you
every page they have on file that
has a link to your website. Go
to the main page and type in your
URL (in the form link:www.acb.com/xyz).
Alta Vista has the most extensive
monitoring of hyperlinks in HTML
pages. Within moments it will
bring up the results of the sites
that are linked to you.
This is a great feature
to see how many other sites have
actually set up a link to you.
Remember the statistics on the
Survey, 91% of respondents said
they found your website by links
established at other related websites.
