Google Reveals (most) Backlinks
As many SEO Specialists are aware, Google's reporting of links back to a site (link:symetri.com) have been like the fruit to Tantalus; we can see some of them, we know Google has the information, but we just...can't...reach.
Until now.
Google is now adding a more robust Link Discovery to their Webmaster Tools. Webmasters who have verified their ownership of the site will get a much more comprehensive list and even split it into internal and external links. This is great stuff. You still won't be able to see any backlinks that hit supplemental pages. It could be helpful to see those links, but Google's throwing us a bone here and thrilled giddy about the new car. Whining about it not having a GPS standard? Too Veruca for me.
Google's official blog entry is here, and is pretty extensive. Search Engine Land has rendered it down some.
Yay backlinks!
