Reply to: The Times website

Limited data is indeed available for free and has been for many years now, there are probably thousands of backlinks checkers that are simple scripts 100% dependent on someone else who actually has to invest a lot of money and time to maintain large scale web graph. If you look at the chart that I've shown you'll see that according to Alexa we've got around 50% of current TheTimes reach as they call it, when you achieve something like this let me know, until then I'll continue to ignore you

I know somneone who put his site on majestic SEO and it still shows only one back link. His site has been on the google directory for a year.

Seriously, your searching is in no way deep or detailed enough.

Did anyone on here end up signing up?

I must say, I do miss reading some of the articles on there - not enough to line Murdochs pockets though.

Not me. I look at the beeb during the day. I sometimes buy the Times in the morning but mostly NRCNext then NRC Handelsblad in the evenings (Dutch newspapers for that dwindling minority who can read full sentences without their heads exploding).

So you finally admit that this information you sell is available for free

It's inline with industry average (when compared against our main competitor), why do you care anyway? Better hurry up and write your own backlinks checking service - soon Yahoo may stop showing backlinks the way they do now, so your tool as well as many others will suddenly stop working.

Whats is the bounce rate on your front page?

I did not say it was ours, looks at the traffic stats...

Unfortunately it's not his data, it's Alexa's.

It cannot be a surprise that the page views have dropped, now they are making money from it though.

Good one Alexi

Now, if you had any sense you would be marketing that to the likes of the Telegraph, etc.
