How To

Find Out Who’s Linking To Your Site

SUMMARY: No summary available
By Kim M. Bayne, editor, author of "The Internet
Marketing Plan," 2nd edition.

These days, everyone is fighting for top rankings in
search engines and directories. But spending hours
continually tweaking your site, purchasing hot keywords
and randomly placing ad banners may not always be the
best use of your SOHO marketing dollar...or time.

Did you know that links from other similar Web sites are
an excellent way to increase traffic? These links often
create a third party endorsement that attracts a large
percentage of repeat visitors.

For starters, discover where your online efforts are
best spent by checking out who is pointing to your site.
Web site referral logs can help, but if you don't have
those, visit one or more of the following sites.

Editor's Pick: A good sampling of sites with link
counters that can help you measure and/or improve your
link popularity
