what about Yahoo backlinks – they are detected in much greater numbers are those backlinks important to Google ranking.
Yahoo has traditionally shown a much larger amount of backlinks. This includes nofollow links and internal links. Google does not give credit for nofollow links and they don't put much weight on internal links. Yahoo does seem to sort the backlinks by what I assume is level of importance/weight. So by examining Yahoo backlinks you may be able to pinpoint a website's more effective backlinks...as far as Yahoo is concerned anyway. Not all of the links that Yahoo shows are important to Google though.
