msg:417953 | 7:02 pm on Feb 7, 2002 (gmt 0) | I would like to do a comparison between the links that a competitor and I have. The results of a link:www.mysite.com search at the main sites provides about 200-400 results, depending on the search site. I would like to know if anyone has a solution for importing these results into an Excel spreadsheet. Is there a software that will do this, or is it a matter of copying and pasting?

Then you can either run your text editors HTML stripper, or write a quick keyboard macro to strip down the pages into something you can paste into excell.
