History:

  • Version 1.0: Tracked pages which linked to two or more related resources which you entered.
  • Version 2.0: lots of new features
    • variety of ways to cross reference sites
      • allows you to enter authority sites
      • allows you to grab the top results from Yahoo! Search API
      • allows you to mix and match
    • allows forced inclusion, to check for only pages that link to a specific page or site, which also link to other related resources
    • allows you to create a CSV output file
    • allows you to select minimum number of matching sites and search depth to help filter out noise
  • Version 3.0: Google API & Highlighting
    • Now works with Google API, so you can grab the common Yahoo! backlinks from sites that are in the top 10 rankings in Google for a particular keyword. Allows you to select Google, Yahoo! Search, or both. You still can just manually enter resources if you like.
    • Highlighting of result set now added, using DHTML which allows you to highlight a column / site to see what some potential hub pages just linking at that resource.
    • I think I might also ask Mike to optionally add a counter to each row.
