Hi there,
I currently use Yahoo Site Explorer to find the number of pages that link to my sites through Yahoo! Search. Any clue how I can find out the number of inbound links my sites get through MSN Search?
Thanks

hi, Allie, how are you?
MSN has three quite good operators for checking your link profile. Just put these into the search field:
to see known links to your entire domain:
linkdomain:www.yoursite.com -site:www.yoursite.com
to see known links to an individual page:
link:www.yoursite.com/page.html -site:www.yoursite.com
to see known links from your domain:
linkfromdomain:yoursite.com
note that the '-site' operator is used to exclude your site's internal links from the results.
If you haven't already seen it, it's very much worth looking at the newly added link information in Google's Webmaster Central
I hope that helps,
daniel
