Which sites are linking to my site (or to my competitors)? Part II

I realized that I need to make an update to the previous post. Indeed, I tend to forget that Yahoo is existing, too. Of course if your site is not in Google, your site doesn't exist but... you should not forget Yahoo.

On the previous post I explained how to find sites that redirect to a specified site in Google, but Yahoo is also providing this feature and it is better and easier than with Google. I need to repeat that: "it is better and easier than with Google". I repeated it only because it is very rare that Yahoo is better so I wanted to insist on it.

So, how to do it? Simply type in the Yahoo search box:

Site:www.mysite.com

Then you click on "Inlinks" in "Show Inlinks:" you select "Except from this domain" and "to:" "Entire site".
After you have done this you can download the results into excel by clicking on "TSV" next to "Export first 1000 results to". Another good point is that you can download 1000 results at once while in Google you can download them only 100 by 100 (I think but I didn't check further).

Note that you might not find the same results in Google and Yahoo so you might want to have a look at both Google and Yahoo.

I remember when I had to find website about one specific topic. I used only Google and after a while I found all the time the same sites. Then I decided to switch to Yahoo and I was able to find good sites I never came across before on Google, but this is another topic I guess.
