Is there any way to check backlings for a specific URL?

[Jessica]

Like, if a site has 2000 backlinks. Can i somehow do a search for a backlink from a sertain URL?

[Jessica]

no one?

link:www.domain.com/page.htm

Johan007: i don't get how this relates to my question.

It means you need to do a search using

link:www.domain.com/page.htm

putting in the domain you are interested in and the page you are wanting to know about. It will give you the backlinks.

But with Google the results are usually just partial.

i don't think you understand my question. i'll try again:

I own www.wigets.com
I want to know if sertain site that is linking to www.widgets.com appears in backlinks. NOw, www.widgets.com has 2000 linkbacks. How can i find a sertain site in these backlinks without manualy going thru 200 search pages.

<edit>

Sorry - the method I posted doesn't work.

Although not perfect, try this:

site:www.theirsite.com www.yoursite.com

This will show pages that mention your site (probably in a link)

OR

use a likely link phrase without the www.yoursite.com, such as:

site:www.theirsite.com "company name"

I tried it on one of my sites and easily found links to it from specific sites.

Forget Google, use Yahoo. This should work.

site:domain.com link:http://www.mydomain.com/page.html
