Finding rivals best links

[trigger]

I have a new site and am looking for some good links so thought I would try a rivals. I have 'explored' the incoming links of his site with Yahoo Site Explorer but it has like 30k IBLs!

Is there a way to find the juiciest links of a certain site, either by PR or whatever?

Thanks

If I were you I would follow these searches
intitle:keyphrase linkdomain:rivalsite.com
inurl:keyphrase linkdomain:rivalsite.com
I beleve these would return you very valuable pages.

Above ^^ PLUS I wld also try backlinkwatch dot com - to see what anchor text's are coming in - the PR etc.

Bagi your searches always come up with no results for me! For instance, if I wanted to check on keyphrase 'Ferrari' for CarDealer dot com I would search:

intitle:ferrari linkdomain:cardealer.com - is that right?

Arora - backlinkwatch is good!

Good shout on that Free Link Checker you have posted kappa. Is one heck of a tool, been testing it with a bunch of websites.

Only thing is that it can get quite addictive seeing how your own links are performing!

Personally, if you want to find out your rival's best links then you should do a Google backlink check. link: http: // www . DOMAIN . com

The link: function doesn't work for G.

Yahoo! site explorer is the best tool for the moment.

Tried it, but doesn't seem to be working. Kept showing me javascript alert box, saying that script has failed.

Sometimes it likes to be a little bitchy, but it usually works (the loading time is high, but it works) .

PS: now it works
