Yahoo Ups Ante With Site Explorer

Yahoo launched their much-anticipated Site Explorer on Thursday. Yahoo discussed the Site Explorer during SES San Jose but at the time, it was just talk. Now, intrepid explorers may hack through the jungles of URL by visiting both the sites and the inlinks.


Editor's Note: Yahoo's new Site Explorer will create a whole new line of tools for improving your sites' page ranks. Tell us about your experiences on WebProWorld.

The service is separated from other forms of search, because it doesn't work from search terms, it works from URLs. One pastes in a particular URL into the box and all the subpages indexed by Yahoo show up. If you need to see a subpage under path, that's possible too.

Yahoo Ups Ante With Site Explorer Then, when that listing comes up, it presents a couple of choices to alter your listings. First, if the pages result isn't what you needed, you can go to the inlinks and it will show the inlinks they've got indexed for the URL you requested.

The second option gives you a choice of all subdomains or just the specific domain. The example of an alma mater, www.eku.edu brought up 1,432 pages for example and 19,076 inlinks. This was with all subdomains. When you switch to "only this domain," it switches to 1,433 pages.

"Tell us what we don't know."

The Yahoo Search Blog emphasized the new tool is user friendly and user input is necessary for it to succeed. A search brings up 50 results by default, they offer web services APIs, the ability to export the info into a TSV file and the ability to freely and frequently submit ULRs users feel should be listed.

They dedicate some space to the free submit feature. URLs can be submitted at no charge and in large lists. This is great when users are finding fair numbers of URLs left out of whatever they're searching for. This allows them to improve their listings within Yahoo's indexes and that could mean a slightly better listing in Yahoo's page ranking system.

Immediate time and cost savings from more effective communications.

What's In It For Me?

While there are always unrealized benefits, the Site Explorer presents some immediately recognizable ones. Tracking indexed URLs can be crucial and tracking those inlinks can sometimes be even more crucial, particularly when trying to figure out how your page rank in Yahoo is going.

Site Explorer will allow people to ascertain which of their URLs are getting indexed and which aren't. Then it allows the user to change it, to take some control over their rankings in Yahoo. It will also allow them to track their inlinks and find where their site(s) is being picked up.

The information Yahoo provides apply to all the search engines...While most of this applies directly to Yahoo, it could certainly be stretched over the other search engines too. The information Yahoo provides, like inlinks listing, apply to all the search engines and would allows users to improve those.

The API features can be used to narrow and control that even further. Once again, applying this to Yahoo should allow users to glean information that can be applicable to all your search engines.

This is really a great tool. It's not unreasonable to expect other search engines will introduce this tool into their toolbox fairly quickly. It's far too useful not to offer it. This does keep with Yahoo's theme of offering customers choice and control over how they interface with Yahoo at just about every level.

Yahoo Called Out For Poaching Workers

Nuance Communications has sued Yahoo, claiming theft of trade secrets and unfair competition.

13 could be an unlucky number for Yahoo, as Menlo Park, CA-based Nuance believes that number of its engineers who joined Yahoo were unlawfully taken. Worse, the company thinks Yahoo has stolen its speech recognition technology.

The Mercury News has reported Nuance filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court, seeking to block their working for Yahoo. Nuance VP of R&D Larry Heck bolted for Yahoo at the end of August; other engineers in California and in Montreal followed them.

Yahoo has been a licensor of some of Nuance's technology, the report notes. Premium users of Yahoo Mail have been utilizing it when using a phone to access email. In the lawsuit, Nuance claims Yahoo has now found it easier to "raid Nuance's R&D staff, so as to acquire and control it, rather than purchase a valid license for Nuance's technology."

Guess who's back!

Yes it's true; I'm back in action for today. My redesign of WebProNews has been put on hold for a couple hours thanks to Chris Richardson (he is moving to a new house). Hopefully by the middle of next week you all will see the fruits of my labor. It's a drastic change, and I hope you all like it. Anyway today's post is from mimsymc. They need your help on deciding which shopping cart to use for their site. Tell us your thoughts.

Hi folks. Here's a new topic for you. I've been spending days researching shopping carts/merchant accounts/gateways and it's mind bending, and a bit overwhelming. There are so many products and companies to choose from and it seems at every turn I am faced with obstacles such as costs too much, need to know programming, too complicated, doesn't quite have the services I need, it's not an all-in-one product, etc.
