Over time, these sorts of measurements can provide insight, but a one time snapshot is pretty much useless.

I guess I'll have to work on raising my 12K score a bit, maybe doubling it over the next year or so. Amazing numbers, indeed!

These link popularity contests has stirred up quite an uproar with Australian bloggers as neither Google (using "link:"), Yahoo (using Yahoo! Site Explorer) or MSN (using "link:") give reliable results, the number of inbound links varies enormously. What are you thoughts on the inconsistency of reported links? Cheers. :D Hi Lee,

Just look around and see how many Blogs about Blogging, SEO, SEM, etc. have an affiliate link back to him on their sidebar (which means it shows up in every permalinked post in many cases). Is there a backlink counting tool that counts the number of unique domains (not URLs) that link to a particular URL? <a></a> Very interesting…I suspect one reason Aaron Wall’s SEOBook site is on top is the number of affiliates gunning for a commission on a sale.

So Aaron Wall is on top, and his just one. He wrote a Book, but not any book. The SEOBook. Ok, I agree, links mean that they are all worthy, but can you quantify and say that if Aaron Wall's SEOBook is 4 times larger than SERoundtable with 403,000 links, the SEOBook is 4 times better or 4 times more appropriate? Probably not. What do you think? That’s a quite interesting comparison. So Aaron Wall is on top, and his just one. He wrote a Book, but not any book. The SEOBook.

SEOBook's links might be just because the affiliate links. Congrats to those blogs that made it. An interesting post but makes me think if all those links really relevant to the blog.

Am not sure if you caught it, but the reason I did this post was because of OMB’s exclusion from Rand’s list.

By the way, let’s see that 100k links put into practice. I’d like to see if you can really do that.

What about all the RSS feed scraper sites that link to me? If I seed those feeds with links to SEO Theory, will they count? Link popularity means nothing. It's a number.
