Like this:

<?
function getYahooLinks($domain) {
$appid = "31245124213";
$yahoourl="http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/inlinkData?appid=".$appid."&query=".$domain."&entire_site=1&omit_inlinks=domain&results=1&output=php";
$data = @file_get_contents($yahoourl);
$results=unserialize($data);
return $results['ResultSet']['totalResultsAvailable']; //$results[0][1];
}

echo getYahooLinks("digitalpoint.com");
?>

It will tell u total number of backlinks.

If you want a complete working script (alonwith site names, URLs and paging), I'll post it here on Monday, as I'm busy right now.

Interesting post, can you do the same with Google?

[Publisher-For-You]

Thanks Wowla, I installed your code, and it works nicely.

I'm trying to get ALL my backlink data, so I can import it in to my own application.

Or, I'm looking for a way to get the number of unique domains that link to me, and a list of those domains.

I'm posting here so that if you decide to include these features in your script, I'll get a thread update notice.

Thanks for your work!

[seo alchemist]

Here is xml.php. Place it in the same folder.



That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks man!

[ludovic115]

thx s man ur the best!!

[DomainCo.US]

This is handy, I will include it in one of my sites. Thanks

[Final Expense Leads]

Here is the code. Save it as "index.php". It requires "xml.php" too.


Thanks wowla!

Your script works better than the commercial products I've been using for backlinks. Any thoughts on producing our link tools or incorporating more functions?

Do let me know please if you produce an enhanced tool.

[tukarinfobispak]

Here is the code.

and how to get yahoo bot last visit ?

[Duratec]

need to know this too! :S

[Hastur]

Do these codes work for you? I have problems with both of them.

[thuankkk]

thank you for the code :)

[snvc]

Thanks. Might be useful.

[pslotman]

[flock09]

Nice tool. Something I did not expect.

[jhardy]

[mobixone]

[crohole]

I have a tool to check all inbound link. But it justmade it about 100 links to show, it can show more than 1000 links. Can I get more than 1000 links with yahoo API..

Anyone got an idea??

[crohole]

I have try using your script wowla. In this case, but I want to ask you something. How to filter it about 1 site 1 link. Please tell me how.

Thank's

[crohole]

Hello Wowla_123. I have read your post in this forum about backlinks with Yahoo API include index.php and xml.php. I have try it too, It is such a great script that I was looking for. Thank's for your sharing.

The result still have more than one website with links like this
www.example1.com
www.example1.com
www.example2.com

My question is how to filter it with just one website with one link. I mean like this :

www.example1.com
www.example2.com
...

So there is just one website in result each other.

Please tell me how to modify the script you just post. I'am sure if only you can made it. Thank's

[crohole]

I mean, that will be more like inbound blogs checking.

Please reply me.

[Ultimate_coder]

[Deus Ex]

Use this

function getYahooLinks($domain) {
$yahooAppId1 = "YOUR_YAHOO_KEY";
$yahoourl="http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/inlinkData?appid=".$appid."&query=".$domain."&entire_site=1&omit_inlinks=domain&results=1&output=php";
$data = @file_get_contents($yahoourl);
$results=unserialize($data);
return $results['ResultSet']['totalResultsAvailable']; //$results[0][1];
}

Then place in a cuommand in your php file for the results page and make the results page have .page_links I believe for page links for each page of your site. You can use commands like these to find out how many pages are indexed as well

[Deus Ex]

Just use the script for backlinks found linking to your site
