    We've all heard the news, and it sucks. I haven't seen a thread that really gives some quality suggestions to yahoo site explorer alternatives.

    So far these two stand out:

    Opensiteexplorer [dot] org
    ahrefs [dot] com (limited to 10 searches a day)

    Anyone else have any good alternatives?

    I was thinking more in terms of free quick check sites like Yahoo site explorer used to be.

    I checked both of the told options and I will go with opensiteexplorer to watch backlinks..
    Its a better policy to watch over it.

    I think this allows us to do research only for the site we add and verify. I checked this tool but failed to find exactly what I am looking at. Suppose if I am researching backlinks for top 10 competitors, Yahoo allows me to digg unlimited sites. I tried the tools mentioned by OP, but some how not satisfied with results. There links not matching with one report I made 2 days back with Yahoo Explorer (approximate 3k sites)

    If you can suggest any good tool as an alternate will be appreciated. I am still a traditional researcher by nature, I search for top keyword in Google and use tools like Yahoo to get more about top 10 competitors. :p

    No other tool comes close Yahoo Site Explorer for checking links to *any* website. Yahoo Search also used to have "link:" and "linkdomain:" commands which allowed you to filter the results. It's a shame that they have shut such services down.

    I suppose Bing would soon come up with a free service like this. Since Yahoo and Bing merged, it makes sense to have something on Bing which can pull results from Bing webmaster...

    Also, I saw Majestic Site Explorer as one of the options, haven't used it yet so far though.

    The tools I use and like:

    Blekko.com (search "domain" /seo) or (search "domain" /inbound)
    OpenSiteExplorer.org
    MajesticSEO.com

    spydermate.com (I haven't used this one yet but I saw a demo at Pubcon and it pulls in everyones data...looks good).

    I like open site explorer personally.

    A lot of other tools have been built to do the features that yahoo site explorer did, but guess what.... they dont work properly anymore because a majority of the data pulled was scraped using yahoo site explorer, go figure..

    I always use backlinkwatch and yahoo site explorer and they are the best to use. I have never seen or used any useful alternative for yahoo site explorer.

    OpenSiteExplorer is my favorite. MajesticSEO is my second choice.
