I noticed today that Yahoo! have launched Yahoo! Site Explorer UK & Ireland in beta. There seems to be no official announcement (or any other information on the web about this yet!) so I would guess it’s been released in the last couple of days.
Here are the results for an external inbound link search for www.bbc.co.uk:
Yahoo! Site Explorer UK & Ireland: 1,575,969
Yahoo! Site Explorer: 11,400,000
The reason for the fewer number of links on Yahoo! Site Explorer UK & Ireland seems to be because this is very UK focused, some non-UK links are listed but this mainly contains inbound links from .co.uk and UK hosted .com’s. These also seem to be ordered with strong UK and Irish links at the top of the page:
This could become very useful for UK-based competitor backlink analysis! ;)
Wow that is cool.
Hello,
I have been always looking for good posts related to SEO, and I must say your ideas and articles are always helping me out to polish my ideas about SEO, I just want to appreciate your efforts for making people aware for the hidden truth of SEO.
Thank you
I’m believe Site Explorer for UK and Ireland has been up for quite some time. I used it for a UK project last summer.
I just stumbles upon your post as I’m looking for the differences between the 2 site explorers. You seem to say that the UK version only picks UK links but this is not what I am seeing at all? The UK version seems to be better at not duplicating domains so it only shows 1 or 2 links from each domain, but it seems to also be missing quite a few links so not sure what the differences are. Any update on this at your end?
