Google listens to numerous webmaster requests and adds a link tool on Google webmaster’s console for querying both internal and external links. After verifying website ownership this new feature will allow webmasters to check what sites are linking to their domains and what sites they’re linking to. It’s a handy feature complementing Google’s search operator [link:]. The link: operator, however, was not able to deliver comprehensive and classifiable data. With the link tool webmasters will now be able to filter and download customizable link stats. The quantity of links to download is unlimited.

In order to check links to your website, you will have to choose a verified site in your webmaster tools account (sign up if you don‘t have one) and click on the new links tab at the top.

Once you get there, you’ll see: external links and internal links options. If you pick external links, you’ll see a table with two columns. The first column lists pages linking to your site and on second column shows a number of links from each page. It’s nice and easy.
