We&#8217;ve explained it a few times via email and over the phone so we thought we&#8217;d create a little video which explains it. It&#8217;s not rocket science &#8211; but it&#8217;s often the simplest of things that are not well documented and thus are hard to figure out for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>The process is very simple and we&#8217;ll explain it here in text for those who like to read. For those who prefer video and audio, you can always skip right down to the video to have a look at that first if you prefer.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to <a href=\"http:\/\/siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com\/\">http:\/\/siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Type in the domain you want to explore, and presee the &#8220;Explore URL&#8221; button<\/li>\n<li>Yahoo! first returns a list of all pages indexed for that domain<\/li>\n<li>Change the &#8220;Show Inlinks&#8221; drop down to &#8220;Except from this domain&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Then change the &#8220;To&#8221; drop down to &#8220;Entire Site&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>What Yahoo! returns is a count of the total inlinks to all pages in your site the detailed results for the first 1000.<\/li>\n<li>You can export the first 1000 links to a TSV file by clicking the &#8220;Export Results To TSV&#8221; link at the bottom and top left of the screen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>That&#8217;s it.
