Checking backlinks in Google

[Westech]

Anyone know of a way to check your sites backlinks in Google, but tell Google to exclude links within your own site in the results? (So that it shows external links to a site only.)

I don't think so. From their help page:


You cannot combine a link: search with a regular keyword search.

Crap. I wonder if this can be done through the Google API.

It could be done through the google API. Though not directly. You'd need to create your own code to filter the results showing your domain.

I use the google tool bar to show my back Links (http://toolbar.google.com/) . It does not show me any internal links.

[lo0ol]

Yeah it does? It just searches for link:page, which shows all links.
