Backlinks on an older domain which is now 301

[ocelot]

Hi

What is the best way to see what backlinks one of my domains has pointing at it?

It is an older domain and is no longer being used for marketing purposes and has a 301 redirect on it.

However when looking at this older domain in opensiteexplorer it does not show what the links are because it redirects to the newer domain name

Have you got your old domain setup in Google Webmaster Tools, if so have you had a look at links there and do they still show? I have to be honest when I have created 301 redirects I have never gone back checking what links still point to the old domain as I plan on keeping the domain and redirect in place permanently anyway.

You might want to try running your redirected old URL through http://www.majesticseo.com to see what sort of insight this gives you in relation to backlinks...

I have just done that with majesticseo and I can all the links pointing to the redirected URL so this should solve your problem
