Update on Yahoo Backlink Counts

• Posted by B Jones on October 26th, 2007 - Comment on this Post »

Yahoo has posted a quick explanation about the backlinks issue I discussed in yesterday’s screencast.

Update on Site Explorer Results and Counts Data

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.
