New link tool to find your competitors most linked pages
Have you ever wondered which of your competitors web pages have got the most incoming links? If so then this is the tool for you.
The new Blogstorm Link Tool uses your competitors sitemap.xml file and finds the Yahoo link data for each URL so you can find out which of their pages are making them rank highly in the search engines.
This is the first of many SEO tools so keep watching.
Please leave any feedback below. The tool relies on the Yahoo API so if it times out or runs out of queries try again tomorrow.

Didn’t work for me mate? Just got a blank page? Perhaps the API has run out?
Yep, 5,000 queries per day and its gone already. I’ve fixed it now.
I’m afraid it is not, just got blank pages too dude.
Still not working for me…
It’s not working for me.
“Could not parse file.”
What file are you trying to parse? It needs to be an xml file.
It works great here….
Good job Patrick
This is a great tool and worked well for me. However, I would like to pose this question…Is it possible to order the results from pages with the most links to fewest? Right now, the results seem to be ordered by post date.
Any thoughts?
If people like the tool then I will improve on it and make it order results by link number.
Great, thanks for the reply. Have a wonderful day!

Try sitemap.php
I’ve just changed my url structure so I won’t have any links yet.
That’s what I was thinking. The tool works great but how do you find other people’s sitemaps ? I can think only by testing different urls like domain.com/sitemap.xml or look into domain.com/robots.txt to see if is there.
Any other suggestions ?
I just try to guess them. Most people have a standard name.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve wrote about this tool in my spanish blog..
Great tool, pure genius
It is veru usefull tool. Thank you for sharing.
There are even more features for this tool. Bloggers can use it to see where RSS feeds submited and which networks (news / RSS readers) are crawled by search engines.
I am getting a blank page:
http://www.blogstorm.co.uk/linktool.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmrgee.info%2Frss.xml
Is it out of queries for today?
Probably, I will release a self hosted one next week to cope with the demand I think.
Hmm doesnt works for me as well
Though i would come back to see if it works..
Excellent. Useful running it on my own site!

A very useful tool, thanks.
Any chance of a .csv export option??
Cheers

Yeah…I got nothing.
Here’s what I got (any advice?)
Warning: file(http://www.confucius-sayings.com/sitemap.xml) [function.file]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found in /home/blogsto/public_html/linktool.php on line 80

Your file gives a 404 error.
Great tool!
Any chance to get source files or script?
Many thanks
Still not working, really could use this.
This is method does not work on blogger platform because you can by no means upload any file to blogger including sitemap.xml. So if you do not have uploaded sitemap you can not check it. So we bloggers are out of luck here.

This script doesnt work anymore.
Hi Patrick,
The script seems to return to the WP “no results found” search page. Any chance you can make the source public (or emailed?)
I think this would make one hell of a WP plug in if run against each of our own site’s xml. It would be so much better to display a most linked list under the sidebars of popular vs a “most commented.”
Thanks, Ted.
