why yahoo shows more backlinks?

can anyone tell me why yahoo shows more backlinks compare than other search engines like google, bing.

 

reason yahoo shows more backlinks than google is because yahoo follows nofollow links where google doesn't. besides, google only shows a sample of backlinks where yahoo shows all

 

because yahoo shows all kind of link so it shows more link than google

 

their arithmetics are different

 

because yahoo counts both do follow and no follow but google only shows do follow

 

i see. No wonder my sites get tonnes of links from as compared to Google. Thanks!

 

yahoo! shows all links which are indexed by it... whereas google has different number of indexed links and backlinks.

 

Yahoo explorer shows all backlinks, exactly like Google Webmaster tools.
You should not search site:ww.domain.com on Google to see your backlinks. You should use of Google Webmaster tools to see them.

 

yahoo shows do follow as well as no follow link and also directories link so it shows more link then google

 

I think yahoo always shows less backlinks than from what you have as it indexes pages slowly. are you sure it shows your backlinks more?
Also as Yahoo indexes pages slowly its possible that your deleted backlinks are still counting. Wait some days and check it again.

 

Yahoo is having different algorithm than Google and bing. Yahoo is faster in indexing and also in counting backlinks than Google.

 

Google does not show all the backlinks but they stilll count them. You can get a better number by looking at Google Webmaster tools. Yahoo shows 1000 of your backlinks.

 

google has most of the BLs in webmaster tools

 

Google only shows the most important links like related links, and high pr links!
But yahoo show the all links.

 

just b/c yahoo show all kind of back link..google just show very useful link..
i think bing also show a lot of back link.

 

yahoo shows most of the links you have unlike google which only shows the good links they find

 

Google doesn't counts No follow backlinks. So they are not appeared in backlink counting while Yahoo counts follow and nofollow both.

 

Simple, Yahoo is smarter in finding backlinks, and crawling, but indexing google is the best.

 

Yahoo Shows those links which are indexed by it, whereas Google shows link indexed by Google. Both have different algo.

 

Yahoo show more backlinks because it read and count both dofollow and nofollow links.
