    Since Yahoo closed their Site Explorer, does anybody know how all of these Backlink checkers are pulling their results? I want to provide a similar service as part of a package to our clients, but as far as I can see, the only alternatives are:

    1. Google (site:domain.com) - not good enough
    2. Bing (site:domain.com) - not good enough
    3. Yahoo (site:domain.com) - not good enough
    A lot of these backlink checkers are pulling quite a lot of results, which none of the aforementioned services (Google/Bing/Yahoo) are returning with those queries. So does anybody know how they're doing it?

    Have you looked into what data points the different search engine APIs offer?
