Im trying to see where my inbounds links are. I completed another one of those website graders and was told I had 62. I spent two days advertising, leaving links on forums, free business listings and 4 days later I recheck my inbound links and what do you know ... still 62. Does anyone know how you can find where those links are, and even perhaps see where your competitors inbound links are?

Oh, and another thing, do you have to write the http:// part of your URL when leaving a link? It seems that way on yahoo answers (does anyone know if leaving a link to your URL on yahoo does anything?), but other websites, specially business listings do not specify.
Thanks guys

Hi Will
I have been doing some swatting lately on SEO and found that many websites and blogs insert a poticular kind of code that restricts it being counted as an out bound link to your site.
The code is rel="nofollow"
If you want to leave a link on a website - before you do look at its source (View > View Source)
Then bring up the find a word dialoge Ctrl > F (PC)
Now search the word 'follow' if you manage to find the code above (rel="nofollow" ) then your out bound links from that site will not score you any points. That code is telling the search bots not to follow that link.
Perhaps not the news you wanted to hear but I hope it helps you put your links on to sites that count!
YouTube has this code and therfore outbound links are not scored.
Regards
Stewart

Thanks for adding that Stewart! Some people don't realize that sometimes links that you add get no followed. I know that some places will removed the no follow attribute when certain criteria is met. Great information there, much appreciated!
