Question for SE experts
 

is there any way to see ALL backlinks to a site? (google,yahoo,altavista are showing only the first 1000 backlinks)

Not easily. Best way I got around this was to copy and paste the entire english dictionary and run a script to harvest every permutation possible to fetch additional results. On one particular site, I was able to get about 200,000 links instead of the standard 1000 that Google returns.

Like WG said, you would need a script or application to run the load. :2 cents:

haha I just checked a few of gofuckyourself.com listings, it's placed on the first page for a few adult keywords.
Guess we can expect an increase of surfers around here. Who knows maybe GFY will be used for SEO even? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

and what SE have u used? google,yahoo or other?

Google/Yahoo is my main focus.

i mean what u used to harvest the backlinks

Check out my new venture at http://www.t3report.com

We do our own spidering to map out all the first level links to a domain (ie. affiliates), and also show the 2nd level of traffic (ie. where your affiliates get their traffic from).

We have a quick look up tool to show how many links we have per domain (it's outdated by 20M+ links already.. with update stats being worked on now).

You can order a report on your own domain(s) or on competitors.


Fight the Plug!

I've only harvested backlinks from Google, not Yahoo.
