    See ALL your backlinks!

    We all know that the google link: command only shows a fraction of your backlinks. Well, google just updated it's webmaster central and you can now see up to 1 million of your backlinks. Awesome. You can even export them TO CSV.

    Looks like a nice addition. Be more useful if you could use it for sites other than your own though.

    Ah that's a lot better now. Like Dan says though, it would be good to check out other sites as well. I needed something like that this morning...

    The Links tab in Webmaster Tools just disappeared for me. Looks like they have taken it down. Just as I was checking another of my sites. Thought I was going crazy.

    This news was posted everywhere. They probably got bombarded.

    It's still up and working for me though.

    Did you get that data with your own manipulation Ken? Or am I missing something from within Google's interface?

    I downloaded the CSV file and then ran some queries on it. A poor mans way of doing it would be to open the CSV file in a text editor like UltraEdit and do searches for specific strings (e.g. .EDU/ ) and use the counting option of the search feature to count the number of instances.

    In my case I imported the file into Microsoft Access and then ran some queries. The following query allowed me to see how many links I got for different ccTLDs (it assumes that I imported the link data into a table called "tblExternalLinks":
    Code:
    SELECT IIf([Links] Like "*.[a-z][a-z]/*",Mid([Links],InStr(10,[Links],"/")-2,2)) AS CountryCode, Count(tblExternalLinks.Links) AS CountOfLinks
    FROM tblExternalLinks
    WHERE (((tblExternalLinks.Links) Like "*.[a-z][a-z]/*"))
    GROUP BY IIf([Links] Like "*.[a-z][a-z]/*",Mid([Links],InStr(10,[Links],"/")-2,2))
    ORDER BY Count(tblExternalLinks.Links) DESC;
    In Access that query could be quickly modified to search for other results like the following query to find EDU sites under specific ccTLDs:
    Code:
    SELECT IIf([Links] Like "*.[a-z][a-z]/*",Mid([Links],InStr(10,[Links],"/")-2,2)) AS CountryCode, Count(tblExternalLinks.Links) AS CountOfLinks
    FROM tblExternalLinks
    WHERE (((tblExternalLinks.Links) Like "*.edu.[a-z][a-z]/*"))
    GROUP BY IIf([Links] Like "*.[a-z][a-z]/*",Mid([Links],InStr(10,[Links],"/")-2,2))
    ORDER BY Count(tblExternalLinks.Links) DESC;
