About Submit Express’ Link Popularity Check Tool
Backlinks, or inbound links from other websites, are important to search engine ranking. They are an indication of how popular, and thus how relevant your site is, in the eyes of the search engines. Knowing how many backlinks there are to your site is an important metric to know to optimize your website’s ranking.
The free Link Popularity Check tool from Submit Express will quickly tell you how many backlinks your site has going for it from the various search engines. It also allows you to compare your numbers with that of up to two other sites in a single viewing, along with the option of having the report emailed to you for future reference and analysis.
The results display backlinks shown from Google, Yahoo, AllThe Web, AltaVista, MSN and the total number. It also provides links to the Alexa traffic rank, and Archive.org’s Way Back Machine to see the site histories. It does not provide information on the value of the links, i.e. where the links are coming from, anchor text, etc.
