Pointing Webmaster Queries to Site Explorer
Yahoo Site Explorer is developing into a decently robust tool comparable to Google's Webmaster Tools. Both resources are very valuable to webmasters and search experts alike.A lot of webmasters use Yahoo! Search to get page and inlink data about
their site, using 'site:', 'link:', 'linkdomain:' queries. Starting last night,
we are redirecting all queries of this nature to the Site Explorer results pages, so
that you can benefit from this tool's additional features.
To reiterate, the following types of queries will be redirected:
site:ysearchblog.com
link:http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000341.html
linkdomain:ysearchblog.com
All other queries, such as the ones below, will not be
redirected:
ysearchblog.com
ysearchblog
site:ysearchblog.com webmasters
