Kevin Gibbons spotted the “badge” link on Site Explorer that takes you to this page enabling anyone to place code on their site to show of the number of links they have to a specific page or to their site. As I commented earlier, badges that show off the number of links to a site from Yahoo, just doesn’t sit right with me – I am not exactly sure why. In any event, if webmasters place the badge on their site, it does get the word out to others about Yahoo Site Explorer, which is a good thing. Here is the badge in action for Search Engine Land, plus if it ever stops working, I have a screen capture here.
