The "Links to your site" feature in
Webmaster Tools
is now updated to show you which domains link the most to your site, in addition to other
improvements. On the overview page you'll notice that there are three main sections: the domains
linking most to your site, the pages on your site with the most links, and a sampling of the
anchor text external sites are using when they link to your site.
Clicking the "More »" link under the "Who links the most" section will take you to a new view
that shows a listing of all the domains that link to your site. Each domain in the list can be
expanded to display a sample of pages from your site which are linked to by that domain.
The "More »" link under each specific domain lists all the pages linked to by that domain. At
the top of the page there's a total count of links from that domain and a total count of your
site's pages linked to from that domain.
If you drill into the "Your most linked content" view from the overview page, you'll see a listing
of all your site's most important linked pages. There's also a link count for each page as well
as a count of domains linking to that page. Clicking any of the pages listed will expand the
view to show you examples of the leading domains linking to that page and the number of links to
the given page from each domain listed. The data used for link counts and throughout the "Links
to your site" feature is more comprehensive now, including links redirected using
301 or 302 HTTP redirects.
Each page listed in the "All linked pages" view has an associated "More »" link which
displays all the domains linking to that specific page on your site.
Each domain listed leads to a report of all the pages from that domain linking to your specific
page.
We hope the updated "Links to your site" feature in Webmaster Tools will help you better
understand where the links to your site are coming from and improve your ability to track changes
to your site's link profile. Please post any comments you have about this updated feature or post
your questions in the
Webmaster Help Forum.
We appreciate your feedback since it helps us to continue to improve the functionality of
Webmaster Tools.
