Right, I often use ‘link’ to use my backlinks. The different result showing in differnt engines suprise me. So, far, I think the ‘link’ tool in Yahoo is the best.

If In the present time the internet craze has swept the nation and these days everything and everyone is online. Everyone having fun on internet and get knowledge from the web site.
you want to know how to make a free web site, the good news is that you’ve set an easy goal for yourself. Learning how to make a free web site is about more than just getting your web domain for free – you need to know how to put information on that site as well. Many domains offering free web sites also feature free online tutorials that will help you write your web pages. Some sites are so user-friendly; you don’t have to write any of your own web code at all! You can select colors and font sizes from the domain’s own page editing service. When the domain is willing to write your pages for you, it’s very easy to learn how to make a free web site.
Once you have decided on the topic of your website, it is time to start writing. The text should flow naturally and be divided into easily read paragraphs. Your first objective is to make sure your visitors can easily navigate your website and quickly access your content. According to the web designer point of view If you try hard enough, you can probably come up with some funky style for a page with for example, a new wacky navigational menu. The problem is that everybody expects to see a web page layout follow certain basic rules; navigation sections have to be arranged in a certain way, links have to look a certain way … being consistent makes the web site easier for the visitor to use. Your site should have content that changes frequently, encouraging return visitors.
And once you know how to make a free web site, you’ll have your own space on the Internet that others can visit. It’s free, it’s easy, and it’s your own piece of the World Wide Web. After all, everyone else is on the Internet – why should you be left behind?

Hey Priyank… neat tool, but it doesn’t really change what was available. Long time webmasters already know how to check links to a page and links to a domain – and they already know how to check indexing relating to the whole site or only folders or subdomains.

I see a few advnatages – one there is no description and two there is an API – but, it is missing some features to make it truly useful (thus, beta).

Give the ability to condense IBL’s from the same domain into one listing (maybe with a number beside it totalling how many are from that domain) so that we can weed scraper sites. Allow us to download all the results, or at least a bit more than the first page, especially when you can’t condense URL’s.

Good move though in a show of making an effort at webmaster relations – more than some of the other engines have done.

The inlink API does not seem to work correctly when specifying a start param.

Try this one:
http://api.search.yahoo.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/inlinkData?appid=YahooDemo&query=http://search.yahoo.com&results=5&start=3

Notice that in the resultant firstResultPosition is 1 though it should be 3, and totalResultsReturned is 7 though it should be 5.

HELP!
