Google Provides Backlink Tool For Webmasters
Looks like Google is feeling the pressure of Yahoo Site Explorer. Yesterday they announced they will have a new tab in the Webmaster Console that will allow you to see more (although not necessarily all) of the links that Google knows about that point to your site. It was interesting to see how that applied to one of my sites, NBA Wire. With just the link operator in Google I show 42 links. Using the new backlink tool i show just shy of 3,000. You can export this list, sort it, slice it, dice it…Just remember just because a link shows in the list, doesn’t mean it carries any weight.
