    Hi Moderators and Admin,

    I was trying to list a domain on sales and was surprised to see that the backlink calculator in the domain sales forum is calculating wrongly. Please let me know what tool does this calculator use at the backend.

    For eg: waterlesshandgel.com -> Your tool shows that it has 11 backlinks. While actually it has more than 45,000 Backlinks as per Yahoo site explorer! Pls fix this if this is a bug.

    It intentionally uses the same data source for all domains.

    Hey Shawn, agreed to your point.

    But realistically there is a drastic change from the actual backlinks to the listed baclinks. Why dont we use some standardized data from Yahoo Site explorer?

    It does use a standard method... plus site explorer is going away completely soon.
