How to check for backlinks?

easy question! can't believe that the site:www.mysite.com command is showing the correct number of backlinks (see profile) - a whopping 3, compared to the thousand or so on Google...

Try this instead...
linksite:whateverthenameofyourdomainis.com
(For your site, I got: Top 100 out of 14,100...)

It is the best way of checking for backlinks in Yahoo. You can see not only the sites linking to your index page, but also those linking to other pages on your site.

Nice on Spica, hadn't seen it, thanks for sharing. Looks a lot like Alltheweb used to.
