How to search for backlinks

Originally published on 2022.05.07. Last update on 2024.02.18.

In my case google is giving the most results, but try other search engines as well. Search term should be like the following:

link:pageurl -site:domain.com

Example (using my old blog post):

link:https://viktorbresan.blogspot.com/2012/09/intentservice-and-inter-process.html -site:viktorbresan.blogspot.com

If you want to exclude a certain file type from your results, you can do it for example, in the following way:

-filetype:pdf

 

Alternatives

Also check Ahrefs Backlink Checker and Neil Patel (Ubersuggest) Backlink Checker.

Bing Webmaster Tools also have backlink checker. Under 'SEO', click on 'Backlinks'. Under 'Backlinks to any site', you can add any other domain and compare their backlinks.


 


Zašto V3AA a ne VWCE

Osobno mi je zanimljiva logika ljudi koji žele postići bolju/sigurniju/lagodniju budućnost investirajući u kompanije čije poslovanje devastira okoliš i time tu budućnost čini - nepodnošljivom. 


Sljedeći članak piše o kompanijama koje su odgovorne za deforestaciju Amazonije. Neke (nisam provjeravao sve) od tih kompanija se nalaze u sastavu VWCE-a, ali ne i u sastavu V3AA.

How Your 401(k) Is Helping Destroy the Amazon Rainforest
The growing financialization of Brazilian agribusiness is enabling foreign investment in the industry most responsible for deforestation.


Po meni [upitnih] par postotnih bodova većeg prinosa ne opravdavaju ulaganja u takve kompanije.
