The best way to see the link popularity is to view the alexa tarffic ranking's or the easiest way is to download the megasearch toolbar from http://www.megasearchbar.com .It gives overall site rankings & when you click on the ranking it takes you to the alexa's traffic & link details page.Try it

Also u can check ur PR at http://www.top25web.com/pagerank.php
which also gives an estimation to your link popularity.

Well I also use Submitexpress's link checking tool for checking links but some times I also do it manually.

For checking your link popularity in any search engine just go to the search engine and search for the following:

link:www.yourdomainname.com

Why is there that difference between links listed at google and the actual links they have on their caches?! What does this mean and what influence does it have?

Same accounts for other search engines

Google only shows you quality links and its rankings highly depends on the links it shows to you.

Google still thinks that it is providing quality websites to the world. In order to do that, they only want to show the quality links that link to a website, not all the others like yahoo and msn. Google only wants quality, not quantity!

Ya but in some cases I have also seen Google not listing some quality sites and some times listing the sites which have no connection with quality, strange isn't it?

Maybe whole Google is a glitch! lol!

Thats true, I have seen that too. Google says they only take the quality links and show them, but I have seen ones that have no significance. Google shows a link to my site that is on a classified page and has no real significance or value. I just dont understand google sometimes!

There are tons result in Google if you search it in Google just type backlink checker :wink:

But still I prefer using the Google webmaster tool :wink:

One way of checking your link popularity is through searching for pages linking to your site. Since typing in "link:url" doesn't show all the links, use the tool at backlinkwatch.com instead.

I think it depend on how quality your link is,....
