Yahoo no longer showing backlinks

Discussion in 'Yahoo' started by jamieellis, Mar 18, 2008.

    It appears Yahoo is no longer showing as many backlinks as before. Backlinks have dropped significantly and other sites are also showing much less backlinks as well. Does this represent a change of algo for Yahoo, or have they gone the Google route of hiding backlinks?

    Hmmm, good question.

    I've seen no reports from Yahoo on this, so far.

    Yahoo's backlink information does drop on ocassion and normally rebounds. Maybe they are rebuilding their database when this occurs. I'd give it a few days before being concerned.

    I just noticed this today too. It appears backlink counts are down about 80% for my sites. Normal fluctuation or change in algorythm? Hmm...

    The Yahoo site explorer is showing backlinks, it has just dropped the amount that it used to show for many sites. I have seen a drop for about half of my sites, and some of them have dropper dramatically (30-40%)

    I noticed the same on my SEO Blog. It was showing quite a few back links a few months back when I last checked, and they seem to have reduced to less than half now.

    I use WebCEO to track my rankings and backlinks. You can use whatever tool you want that will store history of those items.

    I have noticed this as well but my search rankings are still the same
    maybe yahoo has decided to hide backlinks like google does.
