You can check your website’s inbound links online with a domain inbound links checker. By finding out what other websites are linking to your website, you can figure out which methods of establishing backlinks that you are using are actually yielding results.

Backlinks, or inbound links, are incoming links to a website that are an indication of the popularity of your website page. More websites that link to you is an indication of approval online, and can lead to increased traffic to your website.

I have compiled a list of free directories to submit your website for inbound links, it’s free and easy to do. You could also have a look at my blog post on how to submit to free directories for inbound links.

Simply go through each directory link one at a time and find the niche that your website would fit into. Once you navigate there, on each website, you can click on “submit url”, “submit links” or “suggest a site” either at the top or bottom of the webpage. Then there will be a form to fill out including your name and email, the URL, title, description and keywords of your website, and perhaps a category your business fits into. Submit the form after filling in captchas, choosing “free regular link” and making sure it is complete. By tracking your stats as well, you can see how much your website visitor count goes up.
