    Recently, when I type: link:http://www.xxx.ca, there is always no result. Has Yahoo closed its backlink checking service? If so, what elso to use when checking the backlinks?

    Merged? What have they merged exactly? They just killed the Yahoo one and told us all to start using Bing.

    Yahoo transformed its algorithmic to Bing. Yahoo! Search has merged Site Explorer into Bing Webmaster Tools.

    There are alternates but not good enough. Bing Webmasters tools is so lame at the moment.

    It has not been merged, it has been removed. I don't think any of the free tools out there are any good at the moment, they certainly don't give accurate results for the sites i manage. Would be interesting to hear other posters thoughts on the accuracy of the one's now available?

    absolutly right,and yahoo very difficult to predict the backlink. I guess this is still in the process of merger with bing.com. From saver microsoft too long to index a backlink on our site. :(

    Yahoo is merged with Bing webmaster tool and i think there has to be a new solution that has to be free and much more reliable.

    Try getting backlink data from Alexa, Blekko (search engines), or other tools, paid though, like Ahrefs or Majerstic SEO.
