yahoo backlinks still around ?

I know yahoo has been transferring there services over to Bing and today I went to check to see how many backlinks I had on the yahoo site checker like I always do and it wasn't there anymore. I went to at least 5 other site checkers only to find that all of my 390 yahoo backlinks have vanished. My website is still on page 5 of the yahoo search results so I don't know what is going on. Should I be freaking out about this, could this just be a transition of information from yahoo to Bing or could something really crazy be happening to my web site.

    I am glad to see someone else with the same problem! I was beginning to think that I made a huge boo-boo with all my sites.

    I use the SEO Quake bar, and it is showing zero backlinks on ALL my sites this morning. Usually if something like this happens to all my sites at once, I know it is not my problem, rather the problem with an outside force.

    Was browsing here trying to find an answer to what is goin on -

    Good luck to finding your answer, I am continuing my search!

    Yahoo site explorer has now been merged into Bing webmaster tools. It's only become effective over the last day so don't panic about your links.

    There are other services you can use to check backlinks but it'll be interesting to see what happens with some of the more common toolbars over the next few weeks.

    using Seo Spyglass checker at the moment - no significant changes in backlink count have been documented thus far

    Do you mean backlinks FROM yahoo! directly?

    OR

    Backlines across the web that Yahoo! has picked up on and indexed?

    If its the first then I really don't know the answer because webpages come and go I'm afraid so its very possible you've lost them. However, if its the latter then fear not because the links are obviously still there, they might just take a while to be picked up and listed again.

    Hi!

    The thing that sucks the most is that SEO for Firefox plugin now uses some backlink checking tool that you need to enter each site to get results. Yahoo backlinks were faster.

    I grabbed about 5 sites that I have checked before to compare with my site and checked them on my normal backlink checker and none of then were registering any yahoo backlinks either so it must be something goofy. Mark
