hey, you can try to check it here (http://www.marketleap.com/publinkpop/). Yahoo provides mostly Google results, so just view the AOL/Google section.

Hope this helps, there are other useful tools there too!

why would market leaps results and link popularity checks be differnet.

link popularity has us with a 6 for ALLTHEWEB and MarketLeap has a us a zero.

hmmm... not sure about that one.

I get a few different results too.

If I go to AllTheWeb and check on my own, it says 74 links. With MarketLeap it says 74 links. If I check LinkPopularity is says 87.

When I search AltaVista, I get 70 links. On ML is says 70, on LinkPop it says 47.

Perhaps LinkPopularity needs to upgrade it's tools?

I suggest going directly to AllTheWeb and typing in for a search your entire url, that way you can get it directly from the source.

Yeah, linkpopularity needs an upgrade.

P.S. I noticed they have a greyed out PR!!

yeah, I haven't used LinkPopularity before today for a long time, ever since I found MarketLeap.

I think a greyed out PR gives me an even better reason not to use them, makes me think of something similar along the lines of what can happen when you use WPG on Google.

I suppose it runs unauthorized queries on Google. They don't like that too much.
The link popularity check on our website uses Google API. I suppose Marketleap does the same thing. However, Google API only allows 1000 queries per day...but that will take a bit to get there...

Oh hey, look at that! You have a check too. Cool, and in the same country even, haha.

I wouldn't mind changing but with your limited queries I wouldn't want the link to be a nuisance. Private message me if it's cool!
