http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2007/02/discover-your-links.html - invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Cool!
But, I just discovered that Digg accounts for 92.2% of my total inbound links (not spam.. just a couple digg tools)... Kind of depressing, actually.
It's like I need to "get out" more.. but instead of that meaning "outside" it means "to /other/ web sites"...... :-( - webtickle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Sahala, thanks for the link to the official blog post. I was looking for it when the search engine land post went up, but it seems they broke the news before Google did.

- eurokc98, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This will allow you to check your own sites linking while still limiting what your competitors can see. Good if you don't want people seeing your links through G though there are many ways around that with others. Linkdomain: works pretty good in Yahoo.
Thanks for the heads up. - topfan, on 12/26/2008, -0/+1great post on online auctions
- JimMessenger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Excellent find!
- Skitzzo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Its still not as useful as it used to be when they were reporting links via the link: search though. You're not going to be able to use this for competitive analysis.
- vanderwijk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Google has temporarily disabled the new link reporting tool to fix a bug that made it possible to see incoming links for sites that do not belong to you: http://blog.outer-court.com/archive/2007-02-06-n21.html
- aguynamedben, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Looks like traffic acquisition and reporting will become less focused on Google as a single entity, since Google is becoming more transparent by turning this data over to site owners. Powerful.
- madk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I just logged in myself to check this out and I don't have a links tab either. Maybe a temp. outage?
- shimrit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I guess it's a step up. Everyone used to use Yahoo for the linkdomain command, but since they've started listing adword URLs, that has become rather useless too.
- whogotthegravy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice. For a while, I was worried that Google wasn't properly indexing my website.
- factblogger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome makes backlink reporting much more accurate.
- adaml, on 01/23/2009, -0/+0Amazingly, Yahoo's new Site Explorer shows hundreds of "inlinks" (their term for backlinks) that a Google link: query doesn't show. For example, my site http://pagerush.com only shows up 4 backlinks in Google but shows 264 inlinks. Granted, there is a lot of duplication, but Yahoo seems to be a pretty comprehensive list.
- fione, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, a detailed explanation and lots of sharing of your real life examples too.
- AngryGlock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I was just looking at one of my reports when I started getting a 404 error and then the new "links" tab went away. Has Google shut it down?
- franks12, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I have reviewed the Google webmaster tools for link popularity, it is good.
I think real updates of websites is going through Google due to this, that is why I am seeing a horrible change in my indexed pages.
Even popular article directory, EzineArticles, is displaying a PR of 0.

Now they just need to add the ability to sort the inbound links by their PageRank. - TheWeez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is a great feature to see. This will really help me monitor our inbound links when we release a new free Mac product tomorrow. Keep an eyer out guys, it'll be VERY useful.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1http://www.mattcutts.com has a post on this as well
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0As i said before, all wannabes here acting as if they give a ***** about this inbound link crap. Nobody looks at your site no matter how much you pretend you're the next big thing.
- mdcarey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Great Stuff Danny, Thanks!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0@ madk:
Still beats your wet vagina by almost 6 inches. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I’ve been using Referer.org for this purpose for a long time (almost a year I think). Referer.org have the same features as Google, but also includes an invaluable service to me - RSS feeds. By subscribing to the RSS feed for my own pages I get a notification whenever I get a new link to my page, including a screenshot of the page. And it optionally lets me put the list of referrers on my own page. When can I expect that Google gives me notifications when I get a new referrer?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2All the posts below me will be from wannabe webmasters who want their crappy blogs to be linked.
They'll never make any money for themselves being a webmaster, and will only masturbate to other successful people's pictures. They will also pose as if they really know what the ***** seo really is, and will try to correct everyone else. Meanwhile, i'll go ahead and keep making ***** of money even when i'm posting crappy comments on digg.
It's kinda fun really.
