Innovative SEO : Learn & Share all about SEO
Hello Friends,
Just noticed few updates in Yahoo Site Explorer (Yahoo webmaster tool) & thought being SEO/ Webmaster you might be interested in the same. After noticing the changes, I have referred the official Yahoo blog to confirm the same.
These changes will enable us to get more details about the data of our site with Yahoo & how this might impact in Search Engine Result pages of Yahoo.
Yahoo Site Explorer Update : Key Terms, Delicious, Search Monkey update
As, the title suggest, Yahoo site explorer has added few more data for webmasters in its Site Explorer. Lets have a look at the below image to get more idea.
Let’s take one by one,
- Key Terms: Displays a list of all the Yahoo Search key terms.
- Delicious Activities: Shows total number of bookmarks in Delicious bookmarking site
- Top Delicious Tags: Tags which have used in delicious bookmarks for your site.
- SearchMonkey Objects: List of your SearchMonkey objects. Things like – documents, videos, games, news, events and more.
I am using Yahoo site explorer mainly because, I love the back link information it gives for a particular site. It helps me a lot to do the research work. With this, new updates, it is providing more details for Delicious & Search monkey which add one more flavor in the research
But, just a simple query in my mind, Why Yahoo has updated this tool after merging its search engine with BING. I mean, now there is no reason to give more facilities to the webmaster as BING has taken a charge & webmasters are expecting such change from BING and not the Yahoo. This updates in Yahoo Webmaster tool creates questions in the minds of webmasters & SEO like me. Wondering & reasoning, still confused
! What do you think? Please share your thoughts on this update.


Thanks For pouring great stuff.
Excellent! I’m looking forward to seeing how these new features work out for my site. I just wish yahoo would crawl my site and index some pages, then I would really see how this new stuff can work.
