Yahoo Explorer shows top viewed pages on web sites
I just found this little tool called the Yahoo! Site Explorer. Whats so great about it? It shows you what the top viewed pages on a URL are. This is a very useful for multiple purposes. One example would be identifying pages to buy ads or hard links on. This is definately getting added to my “site detective toolkit.”

Even better…use it to find popular products / trends on sites like oh…amazon. I just tried it. Da Vinci code was number 3…their privacy statement was number 2.

I’m not sure the order means what you think it does - I just checked one of my sites, and the number 1 result is a tiny obscure page which probably doesn’t get much if *any* traffic, and the number 4 is a page that doesn’t exist. Yes, it returns a 404 (you bet I checked! Ahhhh! ;))
Does it say anywhere that it is in ‘most popular’ order? I couldn’t spot it anywhere…
None of the first page load are ‘popular’ pages, like, ooh, say - the home page?
Hmmm…. it is possible that they are newly crawled pages, as I have made some site changes to the lower levels recently.
HIH!

Hmm, for my blog the data is about right, showing the Markus Frind interview as number one. Obviously they don’t have your exact stats so they are getting this data from either a toolbar or may be the traffic Yahoo’s SERPs are sending to your site.
