Backlinks are essential for every Blogger to build buzz and authority .And these link are much better when they are linked from similar blogs . I usually use Technorati to to find out backlinks from other blogs .But Technorati tracks only those blogs which are included in their index . So we can use Google blog search for this task .There is also an option to receive Email/SMS alerts , when someone links to your site .
Open Google Blog search .
In the search box , type link:techknowl.com.(Replace with your domain).
Now you will see all those blogs linked to your site ,most recently .Move on to the bottom portion of the page . you would see three options as shown below .
* Create an email alert for link:techknowl.com
* Add a blog search gadget for link:techknowl.com to your Google homepage
* Subscribe to a blog search feed for link:techknowl.com in Google Reader.
You can use the first link to receive an email alert , when someone links to your blog .The third link is the feed URL of your link in Google blog search . You can use this feed and Google SMS channels to build a new SMS channel for your links.
Sending free sms to your relatives along with you can also purchase the paid packages from corporate sector point of view.
