Yahoo site explorer is closing its doors soon !

aymen99 · 07-29-2011, 08:24 AM

I read on the yahoo search blog that yahoo site explorer will be closed soon ! if i'm right that will be the 15 December 2011 !
well as there are alot of services out there uses the YSE API most of those services will close too (or merge to another API if there are any )
well things will get taugher for poor guys for sure

Yes you´re right mate... the two companies involved in this situation have already released an informative article letting Yahoo Site Explorer´s users know about this circumstance.. in any way.. there are other some interesting tools that check backlink counts to a given site more accurately.. so we have nothing to lose..(-:

the majestic seo site explorer is amazingly cutting-edge .. with insightful stats about backlinks counting..

Have a nice day making business online!!

Cheers!!

There is still backlinkWatch .Com, or just purchase a SEOSpyglass software it is more accurate.

Open Site Explorer by seomoz is a great tool. The free version is limited on the number of results. But it's worth the money for the full blown tool set. They have so many tools.

Well lets see what yahoo has in future. May be something new to come.

I'm definitely bummed about this, but it's kinda old news. Still sad tho.

Yeah i agree with you ! the majestic seo site explorer is totally cutting edge , well its true that we have nothing to loose really since there are quite few alternatives out there ! its like we got used to the old YSE

iamseo · 07-29-2011, 01:18 PM

I have heard that yahoo site explorer will be available in bing webmaster tool so not to worry about it.

pilatospoonfork · 07-29-2011, 01:19 PM

Yeah, though yahoo site explorer is a good backlink checker tool, there are still tools out there that we can use in checking our backlinks.

NickWatson · 07-29-2011, 01:24 PM

I totally agree with the above comments...We not losing anything...Majestic works wonders for me, and to be honest, I don't even use YSE anymore anyway!

BacklinkWatch.com uses Yahoo Site Explorer for its backend so once YSE shuts down who knows where they'll pull their data from.

What some of you don't understand is that the software like (example) SEOspyglass use the yahoo explorer API to pull that backlink data & display inside of the software.

When they finally pull the plug on yahoo explorer it will kill maybe half the software that returns backlinks.

yeah totally thats why i was a bit worried ! most of the backlink checker services uses YSE API to extract data ! so that will leave them in a big problem

well some other services does rely on YSE ,for example majestic and open site explorer for seomoz

So now maybe some of you guys will quit worrying about checking your backlink counts.

In my opinion Open Site Explorer and Ahrefs are going to be your best substitutes.
