Google Links

By David Golding

Ever wonder how many links you ought to shoot for when optimizing for Google’s search engine? Well, I’ve been working on a program that can analyze that for you. It’s in beta version, but you ought to be able to toy around with it enough for it to be useful.

Google Links Tool retrieves a random sample of web sites for a given query and gives you the actual count of links picked up by Google. You’ll have to keep the number of results low, or otherwise the program will crash on you (i.e. 20 or less). But you can repeat the process for large samples, I suppose.

Anyway, I hope you give it a test drive. Randomized sampling can be powerful and this will save you time when trying to gather data from Google.
