Keep Track of Your Linkbacks with Google Alerts
Posted by: dragonblogger // Category: Internet, bloggingOk, if you are the type of person who likes to check your Linkbacks daily, then this is a service you should be using. Setup a Google Alerts account and add your blogsearch criteria as alerts.
Or just do your blogsearch and then scroll to bottom and turn it into an alert.
Create 2 alerts for each of your blogs, so you can accurately track Linkbacks to both types of URLs.
link:http://yoursite.com
link:http://www.yoursite.com
You can set your alerts to notify you immediately when google picks up the link, or have a daily report. If you get many linkbacks a day, you might want to even set weekly to prevent spam attacks. Or some people like to know exactly when it happens, so you can be quick to plug the blogger or site who plugged you…etc The choice is yours.
Here is Image of Google Alerts for my Site:

I love this. I have several alerts set up for a wide variety of things — particularly on smaller sites of mine that I’m not watching closely on a day-to-day basis. I wish Google showed all backlinks, but I’ll take what I can get

How cool – and to think I only used the gAlerts to follow local news stories that I learn about when traveling that no way would be on the radar outside that particular city.
(I still get a story now and then about the “former dustman” in Scotland who turned to murder.)

I really like Google Alerts and have used it for several years as do most of my friends. I wrote a post once and found several old friends because of that post and the key word that they had set.

Thank you for sharing your information about Google Alerts, for checking full web links see my post about Link Popularity Check which is freeware, though it doesn’t actually show you the links, just totals them.
It looks like my new Ajaxified CommentLuv isn’t working still, I have to work with developer to see if I can fix the problem.

This is great, I’ve been looking for this.
Do you really need two alerts for each domain: link:http://yoursite.com and link:http://www.yoursite.com
Could you just not use 1 alert which would be:
link:yousite.com
Wouldn’t this one catch both the alerts that you listed?

No, because if you do blogsearch.google.com and do link:http://www.com and link://http: .com Google treats them as 2 separate URL’s. to http://www.yoursite.
You have to create an alert for both, unless you setup Google Web Master Tools to make sure you redirect http://

I set up both alerts. I find that Google by itself isn’t enough. I’ve found some links that Google finds and other links that are found by Technorati, so I’ve been using both.

Set this as your search terms: link:http://dragonblogger.com (link:Yoursite.com) and you will see alerts when someone links to your site.
