If you do the little trick in googles search engine
link:yourdomain.com or www.whatever.com
youre supposed to be able and get the results for the websites which are linking to your own website.

thing is i have several back links and the google trick thing never displays them
but google webmaster tools tells me i have many..

any idea?

http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...9&pf=p&pdl=500

There's an easier way which is more reliable.

Grab Market Samurai which has two tools which let you analyze back-links to your site. The SEO Competition tool and the Rank Tracker tool. Both give you enhanced statistics from Majestic SEO which is crucial to understanding your back-link topography.
