Google Webmaster Central now provides a backlink tool for site owners. Matt Cutts posted about this yesterday to make sure users understand that “the backlink tool doesn’t show 100% of the backlinks from Google yet” and “do not assume just because you see a backlink that it’s carrying weight.”.
When logging into my own Google Webmaster Central account, and clicking on the new links tab, I saw that 2,189 were recognised to this blog, while this still has a way to go before showing as many links as Yahoo! Site Explorer (currently 5,146) this is a great improvement over the sampling of results using a Google link: command search (98 links).

I really like the overview of deeplinks. It sure is a nice tool. Hopefully it will be updated quite often!
