If you’ve been waiting for MSN to start reporting inbound links again, you can relax. It’s finally happened. While using Marketleap to check link popularity, I saw that MSN has started reporting links again. That’s the best news I’ve heard all year. It means that webmasters can now get a realistic picture of where they stand in their link building strategies.

Link building is an important part of being a webmaster. If only two of the top 3 search engines are reporting their links it is really difficult to get a good handle on where you stand. MSN quit reporting links earlier in the year because the search engine claimed it was having problems with data mining. I supposed they’ve fixed the problem.

Another great service Marketleap has added is link popularity checking for specific web pages. This is ideal for webmasters because now you can check to see how well your link bait is working. Before, all you could was check the link popularity of a website. By being able to check the link popularity of individual web pages you can get a better feel for how your specific link bait strategies are working. As far as I know, Marketleap is the only link popularity checker that provides link popularity numbers for individual web pages.
