Yahoo Still Competing with Google. Yahoo Site Explorer Gets a Makeover

    Will this help increase traffic and compete with Google?

    A few years ago, we launched Site Explorer with the goal of providing site owners with better visibility into how we index their websites and what data we use in our search service. Over the years we've moved beyond simply providing information to webmasters to allowing them to tell us what to do with their site, using functions such as submitting feeds, deleting URLs or reporting spam. Our most successful function among all has been Dynamic URL Rewriting. We've had thousands of site owners enter rules for their websites and webmasters auto-rewrite an average of 25,000 URLs per rule, with some sites rewriting millions of URLs in 1 shot.

    Today, we launched a new look and feel for Site Explorer (http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/new) that provides a more dynamic interface to accommodate future feature roll-outs. The new interface also includes a new Site Summary page to provide statistics for authenticated sites. On top of this, we're also increasing the number of rules for Dynamic URL Rewriting that you can enter from 3 to 10.

    The new site is located at a special URL to give you some time to play around with it and update your tools that use our interface. We will make this the default experience soon, so please use this time to update your tools. And, as always, please give us feedback on your new experience. We want to hear from you!

    I do not get it.
    I have about 1000 hits a day from their bot and they say only 5000 pages crawled.
    Either this thing is newer than five days or their bot are wasting my bandwith.

    It's interesting. Shows every page in the index....some pages have a cache but others don't.

    Pity that they haven't yet included a section where you can see traffic to your site from Yahoo search. ( Most probably cos no one uses Yahoo to search !! - But it would still be an interesting feature. )

    Siteexplorer is updated but I think it is still not as good as Google webmaster tools :)

    From my experience with Yahoo! webmaster area and API, they are far less professional than google in the terms of programming and development.

    Well, something is better than nothing. I like their DELETE URL feature. I believe it was an important feature that was missing all this long.

    Yahoo's site explorer has always shown better results when it comes to checking for inlinks. Google takes days to update Webmaster tools whlie Yahoo is very quick.

    I believe people still use Yahoo. At least far more than they use Live.com so yes, a little feature of showing Yahoo traffic would be cool but then again, I don't get any traffic from Yahoo so... :)
