    I wanted to have fun with a Press Release and call into question Yahoo's index size. That;d be fun. Get a few webmasters who think yahoo's SERPs suck rocks and you have some good stuff :)

    I totally believe that it's inflated. If anyone has some examples, PM me :)

    It really doesn't matter what Yahoo says or thinks. Nobody uses it.

    People say DMOZ is dead. Well, if that's so then Yahoo is deader!

    Paid submission killed it years ago, Google came in and kicked ass, Hotmail stole the free email market and everyone forgot that Yahoo had ever existed.

    Well, using the link: command for my site Y! reports 11,700 BLs. But, using linkdomain: it reports 3,850. How can my index page have 3 times the links of my entire domain?

    I think Y! is playing with the numbers.....

    Not sure where that statement is coming from. Yahoo seems to be very much alive in my case.
