Start a Side Business

Since I posted the first part Finding backlinks to your site, part 1, I learned a few new tricks.

Both Google and MSN offer a very convenient feature: you can exclude your own site using:

link:sidebusiness.biz -site:sidebusiness.biz

In most cases, using link:sidebusiness.biz is not going to find all the links and just using your url:

sidebusiness.biz

will yield more links.

So combining both methods, you can use:

sidebusiness.biz -site:sidebusiness.biz

Technorati is becoming a force to be reckoned with. So you may also want to check backlinks there as well. To find backlinks to your site, use:

http://technorati.com/search/sidebusiness.biz

You can also use the methods outlined above to find out who links to your competion, and try to get some links from the same sites.
