Update on Site Explorer Results and Counts Data
- Posted October 26th, 2007 at 1:59 pm by Yahoo! Search
- Categories: Site Explorer
Recently, some of you noticed changes in counts for Site Explorer results, where the counts were different for logged-in users versus logged-out users.
While the counts have been incorrect in some cases, the actual returned results have been correct. However, we did roll out a product fix yesterday and will be rolling out a couple more over the next few days to resolve this difference in counts some of you have observed.
Please disregard any counts for inlinks reported by Site Explorer from October 11 through next week. Thank you for raising this issue.

I have also noticed that the number of links will change depending on which page of the results one is on.
linkdomain:www.marketingpiranha.com -site:www.marketingpiranha.com -site:marketingpiranha.com
All one query.

Thanks yahoo, you guys are the heroes of the SEO world.
It’s nice when a big company like Yahoo! admits it’s messed up something and is looking forward to correct it. I am waiting for the bug correction announcement.
Thank you for the update. I wish you would also update your Yahoo badge widget as it never seems to display the correct amount of links to a site.
Thats Great! we got such a quick reaction from Yahoo. This thing has been notices only a week ago I guess, when bloggers start blogging bout it.
Yes, thanks guys for taking care of this. Much appreciated :)
I like the transparency here in informing the public.
Way to go Yahoo.
So Google do no evil, but Yahoo actually bothers to do good stuff. I think I know which is better. Nice one Yahoo!
ya i also notice that but i thought it is problem from internet
I didn’t visit Yahoo! search since long time.
I think it’s the time to look into these great SEO stuff
Thank you Y!
Why yahoo site explore not update my XML?
Hi,
Yes i was going to send you guys a message about this, when i was browsing through site links, and got near to the end all of a sudden there were like another 1000 links suddenly been read by Yahoo! Still i dont have to now. Thanks yahoo!
Great job you’ve made on this site, it helps me with overcoming my problems
Yep, Something to Yahoo about :), This is great.
This is a long shot, but I don’t imagine that the fixes will also deal with a problem I’m having? My blog changed domains about 10 months ago, and the old URL is redirecting (301) to it, but the backlinks are appearing against the old URL in Site Explorer.
This wasn’t always the case – the old URL disappeared from being listed soon after the change, but it reappeared in late July…
I haven’t logged in for a while, excellent improvements. This is much better than silly “G” webmasters tools, they have ruined it.
Nice, I have noticed this in the past. Glad this is being addressed. I agree, the Yahoo tools are great.
Nice to see the correction we all have been waiting for. Thanks Yahoo!
Does anyone know if the counts problem is resolved as yet? Site explorer is such a great tool, i depend on it to track my progress. Yahoo deserves much more credit from web masters than it gets.
I’ll try to keep an eye out for any similar problems.
Good to see Yahoo in consistently improving.
Yahoo seems to be making a lot of improvements lately well done.
consider yahoo links with rel=nofollow ?? or ignore it?
