"Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.Search Engine Roundtable Stories:\n\t\t\tGoogle Webmaster Tools Now Showing \"Total Links\" \n\t\tAbout two weeks ago, Google updated the Webmaster Tools link reports to provide some more actionable data and cleaner interfaces. But it left out a key metric for some SEOs, the metric of \"total links.\" Late Friday, Google announced in a Google Webmaster Help thread that they added it back. Jonathan Simon of Google said: I'm happy announce that we've added back the \"Total links\" count in the \"Links to your site\" section of Webmaster \n\t\tGoogle's Fetch as Googlebot Returning Not Found Errors \n\t\tTwo Google Webmaster Help threads have complaints from webmasters and SEOs that the fetch as Googlebot feature in Webmaster Tools is not working.

I won't dare to do what every other site has done out there and do a full review. I'll strongly recommend you read Danny Sullivan's two reviews and then come back here. What Blekko does that is different is that they do use humans to tailor the results. They also use what is called slashtags which allow you to search \n\t\tYahoo Site Explorer Link Bug Fixed? \n\t\tA couple weeks ago, we reported that Yahoo Site Explorer suffered a major link drop site wide. So when webmasters and SEOs checked their links within Site Explorer they found a fraction of the links of what they are accustomed to see. Yahoo said then that they are working on a fix. Some are now reporting their link counts within Site Explorer are now back to normal. The a href=\"http://www.webmasterworld.com/link_development/4219635.htm\"&gt;WebmasterWorld thread has one SEO saying, \n\t\tHalloween Logos From Google, Yahoo, Bing &amp; More: 2010 Scooby Doo Edition \n\t\tHappy Halloween everyone!
