Site Explorer is the best backlink checker</p>Atiqur SumonMon, 05 May 2014 06:25:56 -0000http://www.chrisbrogan.com/my-50-most-linked-to-posts/#comment-8533257<p><i>"I was just looking at something on Yahoo! Site Explorer and realized that I could pluck from it the 50 most linked to posts on my site without a lot of heavy lifting."</i></p><p>Really? To do this correctly with Yahoo, I think you need to take each individual URL for every single blog article and then put each URL into Yahoo one at a time and see what the results are. Is that what you did? You probably have 100+ articles, you put each URL into Yahoo one at a time? Wow. You have much more tolerance for heavy lifting than I do!</p>Mike VolpeSat, 10 Jan 2009 16:49:58 -0000http://www.chrisbrogan.com/my-50-most-linked-to-posts/#comment-8533256<p>Hi Chris</p><p>I'm fairly new to your blog, thanks to Jack Humphrey.

Perhaps b/c it's to the point and people know what they are getting in terms of numbered or bulleted blog, which is perhaps easier to read and for scanning over purposes.<br>Good job!</p>VictoriaMon, 05 Jan 2009 16:08:14 -0000http://www.chrisbrogan.com/my-50-most-linked-to-posts/#comment-8533244<p>@Beth I think the concept of breaking apart the posts based on those categories are good; with the blogger using their own personal knowledge of the posts. For example some of my posts with high comments indicate great conversations while I have a classic post that if an outsider looked at sheer numbers of comments would think it must be good.</p><p>Similar not all posts with high twittering necessarily indicate great posts.</p><p>Still not totally convinced on high page views - especially when trying to analyzing posts from different dates.</p>Sue WatersMon, 05 Jan 2009 15:37:02 -0000http://www.chrisbrogan.com/my-50-most-linked-to-posts/#comment-8533243<p>I did a review of this based on the metrics provided by postrank - in its widget which is some combination of most linked, comments, bookmarked, diggs, and twittered -</p><p><a href="http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/2008/12/best-of-beths-blog-2008-finding-the-top-ten-posts-in-less-than-ten-minutes.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/2008/12/best-of-beths-blog-2008-finding-the-top-ten-posts-in-less-than-ten-minutes.html">http://beth.typepad.com/bet...</a></p><p>Some debate as to what is the number one metric to use for value of the blog.

I really like the idea (I'd done it manually via delicious a few times - uhg), and I couldn't get Yahoo to jump through the hoops. It either shows pages (I know these already ;-) or Inlinks. Sorry if it's obvious.</p>Matthew CornellMon, 05 Jan 2009 09:24:55 -0000http://www.chrisbrogan.com/my-50-most-linked-to-posts/#comment-8533234<p>Chris, as you've said in another post, people like blogs with numbers in the title. Linking may a bit different. I think there are alot of blogs out there just reblogging others' content. A 5-ways or Top Ten list is always a good one. Personally I prefer numbers with $ before the number or % after it. I'm a whore for solid facts and figures. I can write content on conclusions I draw from the data pretty quickly. My most linked to blog (about marketing for a movie) mentioned Kate Beckinsale something like 10 times. I purposely overused her name, and linked each mention to a fabulous picture (as if there are any that aren't) of the actress. My suspicions were correct, it got alot of activity and linking.<br>I'm trying new strategies for my new site, some based on your suggestions, some I've conjured with my own twisted mind.</p>Michael DurwinMon, 05 Jan 2009 09:24:46 -0000
