Yahoo Site Explorer
One of the big news stories announced at the SES Conference in San Jose was the announcement of Yahoo Site Explorer. Dan Nielsen and I were there at the conference for a demo of the tool from Yahoo's Tim Mayer.
The new product named Site Explorer is located at http://sitexplorer.search.yahoo.com/. It is a place for people to go to see which pages Yahoo indexed and to let Yahoo know about URLs Yahoo has not found as of yet (submit URL or URLs). He showed an example, you basically type in a URL into it (this is also supported via an API, good good), then you hit explore URl and it spits out the number of pages found in Yahoo Index and also shows you the number of inlinks. You can sort pages by “depth” how deep pages are and you can also submit URLs here. You can also quickly export the results to TSV format. Links have been very popular, he said Yahoo! has been moving towards the social community aspect and probably will go in that direction with link pop. He said, create natural links, make it look natural.”
