My Inbound Link Viewer

Authored by Nick Nagel

Enter a target URL and (optionally) the number of results you'd like to view per page (maximum of 100) in the form fields below. Hit the "Get In-links" button to see lists of pages linking to your site.

This Web-app demonstrates the result of an incremental and iterative, test-driven approach to development for the Internet and the World Wide Web. The following features are implemented using object oriented PHP...

  1. Client side to a REST style web service provided by Yahoo! to enable webpage in-link viewing.
  2. A basic PHP cache to store results of XML requests.
  3. A PHP proxy to enable cross-domain XML requests (can be used in support of AJAX).

Please feel free to take the system out for a test drive...
