link data

[bradderick]

Hi Guys,

Was just wondering if the backlink data is still available for the daily snapper auctions? If so can you please let me know where it is, if not, it is something that is the works?

Hi Bradderick

We were using Yahoo Site Explorer APIs for this data - which was among the best data available, but alas, they shut the service down

And now there is no replacement with Bing for 'inlink' data.

So what we have done is built in another API to replace it - Domain Authority which is a metric taken from Open Site Explorer from SEOMoz, and predicts the domains ranking potential in the search engines based on numerous link metrics. It's pretty good and should give a good indication of number of backlinks and the quality of backlinks (which Yahoo never did)

http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?page=1&site=www.netfleet.com.au&sort=page_authority&filter=&source=external&target=domain

So I would suggest ordering by DA:

And then researching your favourite domains backlinks

Cheers
Mark
