At last Google shows search volumes!!

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

I haven’t read many blogs lately so much to my surprise I opened up my Adwords account and saw the message:

Yesterday Google accidentally made it possible to check backlinks to pages outside the verified domain, just by entering the url in the address bar. After this beginner mistake Google took down the backlinks checker and fixed it. I just got time to check about twenty websites and download the CSV, but the data was definitely better than that of the Yahoo! backlink checker. Thanks Google!
