Yesterday Matt Cutts released a tweet announcing that you can download the latest links from within Google Webmaster Tools. Firstly, it’s great that Google has come to the party for Webmasters and SEOer’s. Secondly, this tool will make it really simple to track the progress of links that have been published. Added to this, they are all time stamped! To find this tool, go to “links to your site” within the “traffic” section in the left sidebar of Google Webmaster Tools. See the screenshots below:

What I found most interesting from the spreadsheet above was the Google+ links!! Google seems to be doing a better job at indexing Google+ updates than Facebook..
