        Hi adleverage

        Just verify your domain in Search Console (was Webmasters) and you will see a large proportion of the sites backlinking to you.

        If you need a more comprehensive list then maybe SEMrush or MOZ would be a good option to pay for.

        Start with Search Console and see how you get on,

        Regards

        Nigel

          Hi There,

          As mentioned by Nigel there are various tools available like Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster, SEMRush, Moz tool etc. Most of the tools are available for free like Google search console, Small SEO Tool, SEO Review Tool .. However, most of the free tools won't show the value of the link for your website in terms of building website authority and also you need to track traffic it might be bringing to your website actively. You need to buy a professional service like Moz Link explorer to get all detailed analysis of your website link profile, historical inputs and help to build a good link profile.

          I hope this helps, let me know if you have further queries.

          Regards,

          Vijay

            Hello there,

            There's a few tools I use to check my backlinks profile,

            1. Google Search Console > Search Traffic > Links to your site

            2. Moz Link Explorer

            3. Ahref

            I think these 3 are the best tools available, hope this helps.

              I would recommend Moz Link Explorer, Ahrefs, and Google Search Console. All 3 of these tools show referring domains.

              If you are looking for 301 Redirects, use Ahrefs. They will show it on the left hand side of the overview section.

                The responses here are great. I think you should have all of the resources you need now. Although it doesn't show domains that link to you, I also like to see the ones that are hosted on the same server, which you can find here: https://viewdns.info/reverseip/ .

                I agree that Google Search Console and Moz are great places to start.
