My prayers have been answered.
Don't alll the premium tools use YSE API as the "major/primary" source of their Backlinks? WIth YSE, even they won;t be so accurate would they? Or what do they use?
.... aren't there a number of tools that do the same thing?
There are a variety of solutions out there that can fill their place. One great one has been mentioned in this thread. It's not that big of a loss
Hey is this true? or damn fake? That's impossible to shut down Yahoo! Site Explorer.. OMG
It's going to be a big PITA. It's going to break a ton of apps, scripts, and plugins for FireFox.
I'm with ly2, the mind boggles at how many WP plugins alone out there are based upon YSE backlink counts.
Worse yet, tools like MNF and SEO Elite, they depend on a rock-solid API... WTF are they going to do?
Slightly worried... I know other tools exist but are their indexes nearly as big as Yahoos?
Fuck a damn duck...
