    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

    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.

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