Tool to search the web for sites that link to another site?

[aus11]

I'm doing a bit of SEO work for one of my sites, and am trying to think of a way to use Google (or another tool) to search the internet for a list of websites that have links on their site to another specific website.

Anyone know a way of doing this?

Turns out it is as simple as typing the following in to google:

link:www.website.com

This command is pretty redundant - you won't get a very complete data set.

Google Webmaster tools is probably one of the best, but does not analyse quality of links. Good tools for this are Majestic SEO and SEOMOZ Open Site Explorer

Try http://www.seoquake.com/ maybe useful

SEOMOZ is great; I use it daily. Along with ahrefs.com - 2 of the best tools in the industry.

Thanks for all the responses! I've started looking into all the recommended tools!

SEOMOZ is first on my wishlist when I can afford it.
