How can I find out how many inbound links my website has got

Can I use Google toolbar or something to find out how many sites on the
Internet that links to a specific URL?

go to Yahoo

type link:http://www.thenyourURL.com

Google only shows you a proportion of the links - Yahoo's is better but even
so doesn't give all.

Is there any big search engine which does it?

Yahoo is a big search engine, last I heard.

Your best bet is to try Yahoo as it's generally reckoned to be the
most accurate engine for counting back-links.

http://www.widexl.com/remote/link-popularity/index.html This one will check

Google, Yahoo, All the web, Alta Vista, and MSN all at the same time for
you. It will also allow you to check upto 3 url's at the same time.

The best way to try is use Yahoo site explorer.

http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/ and type in your URL, it shows
how many pages have been crawled on your site and how many inlinks you
have to your website. Also note that this provides only Yahoo data not
the other search engine. But it is safe to assume that others would be
close to the information revealed by yahoo.

Check your access_log but remember:

- some spam referer
- some sites link to you but don't give a visitor at all

might be that those two level each other out :-D

I tried this three times and got three entirely different -- and
increasingly bizarre and unlikely -- results each time. My most popular
site was fist said to have zero links at Yahoo, but on the 2nd try it
had 6,540 Yahoo links, then, on the 3rd it was back to zero. A new site
that has less than ten links to it was said to have zero links at all
SEs on the first pass, then about 6,000 liks at Yahoo on the second
pass.

Too weird for me.
