Unfortunately Yahoo! Site Explorer & the Yahoo! Search API (with link data) have went away, so this tool has been retired.

Link Harvester returns:

- links from .gov, .mil, .edu, or .ac.uk domains. Links from these domains are likely rated better in authority type algorithms such as Hilltop or TrustRank.
