Try searching 'link:http://<your_site>' in Google or Yahoo. It will give
you a rough indication. Yahoo lists many many more links than Google.
I recently read an article which stresses why you should not go by back-
links or even PageRank. Relevancy is a more important factor for incoming
traffic.

Where do you want the PageRank 5? The front page? Where will the incoming
links go to? How is your site structured? How many pages does it contain?
There are too many factors to consider. Earn ranks to gain traffic and not
to impress the small number of visitors that have toolbars installed and
arrive at the front page.
Hope it helps,
Roy
