hey guys, i found yahoo's linkdomain search to be the most used tool to determine competitors backlinks. do you think if i dis allow yahoo slurp, my backlinks will stop showing there? basically i want to stop my competition to look at my backlinks. and i do not really care if yahoo does not index me because this is a local web site and organic search market is dominated by google %99. i cant think of any bad effect of this on Google Rankings tho, what do you think
I think there are other tools too that show backlinks of any site. So even if you block Yahoo via robots.txt, your competitors may still see your backlinks.
