SheerExplorer.com Launched – a Brand New Site Explorer

I’m happy to announce that we are launching a brand new service – Backlinks Checker (Site Explorer). It is on a different domain, SheerExplorer.com.
This project started after Yahoo decommissioned their site explorer about 2 years ago. What it does, if you don’t know what site explorer means, is show your website’s backlinks. Initially, this was supposed to be a 3 months project, but then we realized how hard it is to collect all pages over the internet and store their backlinks data. So only now, after about 2 years, we got the work done.

The Motivation for This Project
For those of you, who already use our services, you know that we are showing much of the backlinks data in the “Main Referrers” screen. But the “Main Referrers” data is only partial, which is why we called it main Referrers.
There used to be a free option, with Yahoo Site explorer. But Yahoo decided to stop supporting it, and the SEO community was left only with paid services. You can still see your website’s backlinks if you have access to Google Webmaster Tools, but you’ll need to be the owner (or have cooperation with the owner) of the site to get that kind of access. You can’t get that data for other sites if you like, for example to learn about your competitors’ backlinks. Even paid tools that do this are rare, since getting this data is very hard. I believe, that except Google and Bing, there are only about 3-4 companies that have this type of information in a decent level.
So, I decided we will develop such a service. Which is now offered for free. The only thing you need is to register for the service and confirm your email address.

About SheerExplorer
The interface of Sheer Site Explorer is very simple. There are 2 tabs. One for backlinks and one for top pages. Once you type the URL of the website and press the “explore” button, you get all the data that we collected for the website.
Inbound Links Tab:
inbound links sheerExplorer
Top Pages Tab:
top pages sheerExplorer
I think the screen pretty much speak for themselves. No need to go over every column and explain how it works. At least not here.

How Does This Tool Compare to Other Site Explorers?
The service is new, so the data and features are basic. But, as more time will pass, more data will be gathered (we are collecting millions of pages as you read this post (: ). I’m sure it will soon have as much information as you can find in the top tools, like MajesticSEO.

Access for SheerSEO Users
As I mentioned above, the tool is now free to all users. SheerSEO users, can use their SheerSEO login to access SheerExplorer.

I hope you give SheerExplorer.com a try. Feel free to give any feedback regarding it.
