Yahoo! Site Explorer has a function that allows you to see the most linked to pages from any website so I ran through some of the top design blogs and compiled their most popular pages here.

What is your most linked to article? Please share with us in the comments below. To do so, type your web address into Yahoo! Site Explorer and look for the article with the most links (not your home page).
Franz, Patricia, Kate,
You’re welcome.
Luis,
I remember seeing that post a while back, if only they did teach those things in school… anyway, thanks for the addition!
Dzinepress,
I do try and help the new and upcoming design bloggers, in fact only minutes before your message I twittered about ten new upcoming design blogs. Also, for this particular post, it wouldn’t really be appropriate to link to newer design blogs as there wouldn’t be enough overall links to really compare what was the most popular article.
Anyway, please do feel free to leave your own most popular page in the comments… maybe next time you will be featured in a blog post about upcoming design blogs.
Wow. I’ve been spending the last hour downloading and reading through only a small portion of this. There is so much useful, helpful, and amazing information here. You’ve actually managed to help fill in a few gaps for me that I’d been looking for rather unsuccessfully! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
This was a great resource! Thanks for posting this, reading through some of these right now.
I’m definitely going to keep this article handy. Good stuff.
This is such a cool idea for a post. The best part is that it features some blogs I didn’t know before. Thanks for compiling this list and thanks for including Fudgegraphics!
Great tool from yahoo, I’d never seen before but right now I don’t have to much links, but the first is:

Maybe one day my blog will be on that list, hopefully. It is a good list though, and I’ve read quite a few of those articles over the past year or two.
I did notice that one of your posts was on the list, so congrats on that one! Keep up the quality work, it’s inspiring.

Does Yahoo Site Explorer still offer “most linked to” search option? Because currently we use Moz to search back links and I would be interested to know about other options that provide the same service.
