You must know how important link is. To marketing bloggers Links are “almost” everything. This is Darren Rowse own words on Link.

Links are the currency of the World Wide Web. The levels of incoming links to your blog can be an indicator of how well you are engaging other bloggers. Incoming links are good for a blog in most cases because of the incoming traf-fic that follows them, but also because they are a major factor in climbing the rankings in search engines.

They can be monitored in a number of ways.

Trackbacks

If another blogger links to your article you can be notified using a special comment called a Trackback, which appears linking back to the original blog-ger with a small quote of the text used. Though some bloggers hate them due to spammers taking advantage of the free link back, blogs utilize them to fur-ther conversations and as notification of what others are writing about you.

Search Engines

To find out who is linking to you, type link:domainname into Google. You can get a good quick picture of the incoming links that that search engine has indexed for your blog. There are also browser plugins and easy-to-use web services that will show you the same thing.

Technorati

Another popular service that has become a bit of a competition among blog-gers is the Technorati ranking. Technorati counts how many references to your blog have been made by other bloggers; currently they call this “author-ity.” The more authority you get in any six-month period, the higher your ranking. Technorati’s Top 100 List has become the defacto A-list, the holy grail of blogging for many.

Referral Stats

Most statistics packages offer the ability to track where your readers come from to get to your blog. This shows you the things they are searching search engines for but, also the sites that are linking up.
