Mike’s Marketing Tools Link Popularity Checker

Mike’s Marketing Tools has a Link Popularity checker and it searches for your links on the three most popular search engines and can store up to five of your searches so you can see how you compare to your competetion. The speed of this tool is about average and it shows you the link popularity of several other sites, however, these are randomly chosen and not necisarily in your industry.
