Blogger Backlinks : Who Links to Your Posts

Blogger introduced Backlinks : a new feature to find who is linking to your posts.

How Backlinks Work?

“Backlinks enable you to keep track of other pages on the web that link to your posts. For instance, suppose Alice writes a blog entry that Bob finds interesting. Bob then goes to his own blog and writes a post of his own about it, linking back to Alice’s original post. Now Alice’s post will automatically show that Bob has linked to it, and it will provide a short snippet of his text and a link to his post.”

If you have a custom template, or one of the templates from before this feature was launched, you will need to add the code yourself. On the post page, the backlinks are all listed beneath the comments. Clicking the triangles next to each link will display a snippet of text from the page linking to you, as well as some author and date information. If you want to turn off backlinks for individual posts, you can do so, same as that for turning off comments.

This is an excellent way Blogger has implemented another essential feature.
