Getting links to your legal website from other sites is one of the more important things in getting high rankings at the search engines, especially Google. To check the # of links that you presently have pointing to your site, goto Google and type in link:http://www.yoursite.com/ changing the domain to your law firms domain name.
Google doesnt report the full # of links though using this tool, yet they have rececently started reporting much more detailed link analysis in the Google sitemaps program. Yahoo though will report a more accurate # using the link search link:http://www.yoursite.com/.
The more links you have the better, but getting links from highly ranked and linked sites that are legal related will produce the best results. Getting links from any .EDU website can be especially valuable.
