For first sight this service looks like a great asset among our tools, but this feeling can pass quickly.

As far as I know Google shows only a little part of links pointing to our sites using the link: operator in order to defend us against our inventive competitors. Without excellent link popularity we can hardly gain any success for competetive keywords.

So how to build the required link popularity quickly?

This question isn’t difficolt to answer. It starts with Yahoo! Site Explorer. If our sites will be be typed right after the link: operator I guess we won’t consider the previous answer so obvious…

The Google Webmaster Tools service provides us information lawful only after verifying the ownership. This is the missing step concerning Site Explorer.

Looking back on the lesson of the hungarian linkfelhő seo contest I took apart, the structure of the inlinks pointing to our sites is strictly a private business and the Site Explorer service doesn’t respect that at all.

What do you think?
