Just replace the yoursite.com part with your domain name. And it will show you how many sites are linking to you and also provide you with the URLs of those sites. This is also useful when you are trying build incoming links. Just take your competitors domain name and using this tool find out from where they are getting the links and you can use some of those sites to build incoming links to you.

Keyword Density Checkers
Keyword density is an important part of SEO. A lot of SEO experts recommend to maintain a keyword density of 2% - 4%. A too high keyword density can be regarded as keyword spamming by the search engines while a too low keyword density will not be very effective if you want to rank high. So its better to know your keyword density and maintain it at a proper level.

Different keyword density checkers can give you slightly different results. But if you want to manually calculate it you can use the Keyword Density Calculating Formula. Read more about this by clicking on the below link
