How many comics link your comic?

There's a feature in Advanced search in google...

http://www.google.com.mx/advanced_search

In the last option, you can find pages that link to a certain url.

http://www.google.com.mx/search?as_lq=www.crfh.net

example: cut and paste the above thingie, but substitute crfh.net for your own url/domain.

Heeey. Nifty. Thanks, Maritza.

Er... Except for the ".mx" in the URL. That makes it hard to read.

Untrue, Joel, unless you tell the site to search just Mexico. Otherwise it'll search the whole shebang, and throw results in all languages.

Cool. I followed it and turned up at the TalkAboutComicsBlog and thought...hey, this could be interesting. Then didn't find a thing about my little corner of the web. But the rest of the pages linked to me. Unfortunately they were all from my site already, or the forum...oh well...I will try again later, eh?

3 or 4? but I explain it the same way they do, I linked them first so they linked me and put me down as a link exchange, even though I never asked for it. Most of my hits come from a comic I used to like and now hate, and even though I took the link away he still has his link up for my site.

3-4 from fan arts. As far as I know noone has me as a featured link. Course I don't really deserve those yet... nor do I have a banner.

And I haven't linked anyone else yet... but I want to! I've been lazy =[

The google search is ok, but like I said it doesn't pick up all sites. I used it and from searching through the results I got 11 link pages, but there were ones missing that I knew the existance of.

Yeah, I picked up about 6 and I know I've got a few others it doesn't list.

One Page.

And it's my own.

Yeah, I think it's because KS has a bot file that blocks search engine bots from looking at files beyond the home page. Unless you submit your links page, Google probably won't even see it.

I choose the option next to it, "search similar sites" and let me tell you, sites I got were nowhere near similar!

Alschroeder · Post by **Alschroeder** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 12:49 pm

Ten, for sure. Maybe more. Sarah Zero, Oh My Humanity, Vindibudd, PCClips, Blue Skunk, Fragile Gravity, Dungeondamage, The Specialists, Nine Swords, and Bookwyrms, for sure. Not counting those who are linking from fan art I've sent.---Al

Umm, lemme think: none. Tsktsk. I am such a loser

[geoduck] · Post by **[geoduck]** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 2:13 pm

I've got 5 or 6 that I can think of offhand. Double that, if you count fan-art swaps of one kind or another. The advanced Google search was quite spotty for me as well.

The link from Station V3 brings in the most visitors by far, so thanx again to Axonite for that!

BloodKnight · Post by **BloodKnight** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 2:50 pm

Too damn many.

It picked up some keenspace sites, but missed loads from all over the net. Some keenspace, some not.

That's good to hear!

(And I don't think they're all me, since I have Mansion of E bookmarked at home and work)

Station V3 - not counting guest strip/art links, I think 17 or 18. Z7 - well, Station V3 links to it...

If you don't want all those links, could you tell them to take down their links to you and put up links to me instead?

Ditto. Most of the links to my site get taken down after a week or two, so its always changing. But I link to a whole lotta comics. 130 to be exact.
