What is the best way to find out who is linking to your competitors?

Hello,

This is my third question of the day!
Just want to know the fastest way to find out who is linking to my competitors?

My problem is if I can't find them, then I can't invite them to link to me.

Any advice? A tool probably...

Yahoo is the best tool. Any other tools out there pretty much are going to query the search engines. So that's a waste of time.

One problem with poaching your competitor's backlinks is that some of those links likely belong to your competitor. If they are nasty, they could file a spam report with your ISP, Web host, and even your domain name registrar.

I would add that the new MSN beta search is a good place to look as well. It listed about 10 times as many backinks to my own site as Yahoo.

Hey,

These should help.

1. Google Link Tool. Just enter your competitors URL after the word already in the search box.
[google.com...]

2. Yahoo Link Tool. Same directions.
[search.yahoo.com...]

3. Alexa Link Tool. Same directions.
