Yahoo Site Explorer Enhances Backlink Feature
December 07, 2005
The Yahoo Search Blog announced enhancements to the Yahoo Site Explorer yesterday that make your backlink searches more efficient than ever.
The interface now allows you to filter your backlinks (Yahoo calls them "inlinks") so that your own domain does not appear in the list:
- Select Except from this domain to filter out your top-level domain, along with all subdomains on that domain.
- Select Except from this subdomain to filter out only your specific subdomain. For example, if you have a blog on the blogspot.com domain, selecting this option will show links from other blogspot.com blogs, but not your own.
Like always, Yahoo shows incoming links even if they contain the "nofollow" attribute. This underscores the point that the nofollow link attribute is quite different from the nofollow command in the robots meta tag. Links that contain the nofollow attribute are recognized as links and crawled just as any other link. They're simply not offering an authoritative "vote" that might help the recipient site's rankings.
