Really depends upon your site. What type of website do you have?

Basically you need other websites (preferably in the same part of your 'web' or broad 'topic') to link to you. If they use your keywords in their links all the better.

There are several ways to achieve this and I'd suggest looking beyond link exchanges and begging, to writing articles, directory listings (on your topic - http://www.dmoz.org http://dir.yahoo.com, find the appropriate catagory and submit).

Or, also you could buy other sites in your niche and use them for links or redevelop them into something more 'you'.

You might have a lot of blogs in your niche, if so create a great site that people will explore and make some 'value added' comments in their comment field with a link back to your website. People viewing the blog will value your comment and explore your link.

If your site is great people will link to it naturally, especially if you cover a topic that is not quite covered, or covered elseware on the web. Or you present something in a new light or comprehensive depth. The trick here is to be unique and become an authority on something special. That way you will enjoy your website.

I don't understand what you mean sorry. Can you describe that another way? What do you mean by external and backlink? I would have have thought they were the same thing, no??

The page link come from other site is external backlinks.
The Page link come from the same site is internal backlinks.

So i want to check how many links are come from external.

Hope you can understand!

Sorry, but Google doesn't offer a way of finding external backlinks in a single query. Yahoo and MSN do.

The analyzer tool mentioned previously just uses the Google API to make a link:www.example.com query which returns internal and external backlinks. You can use the API to do the same thing and just filter out the internal backlinks.

Just be warned that Google is notoriously bad for giving backlink info. They apparently think individuals could use it to reverse engineer their ranking algorithms.
