How to track/find new organic backlinks to your domain

[EricPacifico]

I use Google Alerts to track domain-level backlinks (via the link:http://www.example.com trick) but is there a way to track/be alerted of long urls, not just the domain, without having to set an alert for each specific url?

You can find potential new backlinks to your site by monitoring all the referrers to your site. This will sometimes allow you capture links before Google actually indexes them, but it limits you only to links that actually bring traffic.
