New release: Yahoo! Site Explorer badge
Ever wonder who’s linking to your pages, and from where, but can’t be bothered to dig into your log files? Yahoo! Site Explorer offers lazy webmasters—like this one—an easy way to measure links to (and within) your site. Just go to siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com and follow the instructions.
In addition, you can now share your linkbait success with the world by adding a Yahoo! Site Explorer badge to your site. This widget has a counter that displays how many links are coming into whatever page that it’s deployed on. When you or your users click on the badge, they’re taken to a page that lists who is linking to that page. As of this writing, our blog home page boasts more than 3000 links.
Setting up your site with a Site Explorer badge is easy. After you’ve set up your own Explorer account, just go the Site Explorer badge page, select your badge format, and copy and paste the code into your own website.
