Why is Yahoo always giving me and my sites the most links? Does this mean that Yahoo indeed is the fastest and most accurate crawling engine there is in the web? Or do you know any other reason why, Please share it here...
They both are aware of all your links. Neither is "more accurate" than the other in that regard, that anyone knows of. Yahoo just generally shows all links, whereas Google shows only a sample of what's in their database. That's it.
But it is true that links are one of the basis of importance of a site and in that case, if Yahoo gives my sites for example more links than Google and MSN does, then, doesn't that make Yahoo more of an accurate and precise engine crawler than Google or MSN? This is also because Google and MSN for a fact does not get the links that we have made through our link building methods while Yahoo does, then, does that not make Yahoo the more accurate and reliable engine at the same time?
If you answer any questions in the Yahoo answers and place your website address in the source, you will get more links in yahoo. Don't compare the two extremes... Google is google...
This is just my opinion: If the basis of this discussion is importance of a site with regards to archived links that appear in the search results page, then i would say that it is clearly Yahoo that gives the most importance to sites and site owners because Yahoo always gives any site the most links compared to 'Google' and 'MSN' has anyone seen any site that has more links appearing in SERPs than Yahoo?

That's what I've tried to say in all three of my posts... Just because they aren't all displayed in every search engine does not mean they aren't aware of all your links. We KNOW that Google only shows a tiny sample of all the links they're aware of. Google is aware of all of your links, period. Yahoo is not "better" with indexing links. They're the same. Not sure about MSN but it's probably the same deal.
Thanks for the information that you gave in this thread, i really appreciate it and i will surely use this in my future research about the search engines.
this is a nice thread, and i'd like to share my experience. it really does not necessarily mean that if Google is not displaying the links like Yahoo, that the links you can find in there is not seen by Google, The three search engines have their own way of practice and set of guidelines and i believe that Google only displays the most relevant links and Yahoo i guess does not filter much of theirs. Google these days is trying to minimize the effects of spam links and that is why they don't display all the links that they see every time they visit your sites or the sites that they see pointing to your site/s.
well, google is way way better than yahoo, but point is google hide most of your backlinks which yahoo doesnt. thatswhy you see lots of link in yahoo search engine.
for me MSN has alwayz shown the greater nos. but i think u should alwayz concentrate on the search engine which gets u the most traffic and every1 knows which 1 i m talking about.
