All geek questions in one place

Is there an API that lets you know how many sites are connected to yours?

I know that google has things like linkto: yourdomain.com and Alexa, but I can’t ask for anything and get the number of sites that link to me. Does anyone know of such a thing besides using Google or another search engine and scraping HTML results?

Yahoo! SiteExplorer has an API . I never used it, but that should give you what you need.

Personally, I would just capture all my HTTP protocols. Find the Referer entries, then download each Referer that looks for inbound links to your domain / page. It should be a simple task for automation and will give you great and timely results with minimal effort.

You can get him out of Alex. For example, all sites linking to Yahoo will:

http://www.alexa.com/data/ds/linksin/yahoo.com?q=link:yahoo.com/

So just replace “yahoo.com” with 2 places with your site and it should work. You can then parse the HTML to get any information you want.

Or you can look in the Alexa API , but they are not free.
