Google and how you relate

Linking to and from the right sites can be very important to how google and other search engines see you. A little know trick is to use the related command into google. It lets you know who google thinks is related to your site. So head on over to google and put related:www.yourblog.com into the search. This will let you know how google thinks of you (or at least did the last time it spidered your site).

Another great tool for seeing those related sites is to use touchgraph. You can see the related sites in a graphical format. You'll need Java and (I believe) you can only see it in IE. But it's worth knowing how google sees your site.
