Using Yahoo Site Explorer As A Google Link Monitor
At present Yahoo Site Explorer is the most up to date link tracker and potentially*"Do Follow" link checker (*more on this later ) that is available, many tools use this API, which is freely available to do what you can do manually. If you wish to investigate this highly useful tool yourself without using one of the many tools available, the information below may be of interest. How to use it: If you are not familiar with this tool , it can easily be overlooked . Go to: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/ Enter the URL you wish to find backlinks to Submit ( best leave off www ) The first page that comes up will be all the pages currently indexed in Yahoo ( if it is in there ) Next click on Inlinks ( if they are showing a number ) In the 2 boxes below Inlinks check Except for this domain and Entire site This will bring up all the pages that Yahoo has found, that currently display incoming links to the domain you are checking Most of the pages linking to this site may also be counted by Google in its PageRank algorithm and perhaps anchor text links ( depending on whether the link contains text rather than only the URL itself) Google is a lot slower at revealing what sites it counts as a link , but it is a fair bet that most of the sites listed as Yahoo Inlinks will also be counted by Google.There may be some variation, for sure, so thats why I say most of these links will be counted, in other words a good indication is given The other information revealed by these Yahoo Inlinks is that they may be what is now commonly called by SEO enthusiasts "Do Follow" links . Or links that may be counted as PageRank votes to the site being investigated Of course there are other reasons Inlinks won't show up in the Yahoo Inlinks index , such as for one reason or another the site itself or associated pages are not in the Yahoo index itself. Yahoo Site Explorer will list any new links found usually within a few days and often within 24 hours or sooner , there may even be some ranking algorithm in the numerical order the Inlinks themselves are displayed. You can also use a tool such as SEOquake to review the apparent Google PageRank of each link Yahoo Site Explorer is by no means a perfect tool , but it is one that can provide a degree of useful information about the the number and status of incoming links and once you have started to use it for this purpose , it will very likely become part of your SEO daily routine.
