Yahoo's latest products!

Hi guys,
Last week yahoo has released site explorer tool(http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/) and desktopsearch tool( http://desktop.yahoo.com/ ).
Did you try that? Well Yahoo says
Yahoo's Site Explorer shows all subpages within a URL indexed by Yahoo. You can also see subpages under a path and inlinks indexed by Yahoo! to a URL. You can also submit missing URLs to Yahoo.

But thing is that when you enter your site's url, it doesn't display all the inlinks :shame: .

SiteExplorer? So that's why my log is full of Yahoo.
Personally, I don't like the idea. At all. I don't want every subdirectory under my domain names open to the general internet. If I did, I'd link to them somewhere. The best part is there's no obvious way to opt-out from the SiteExplorer website.

I totally agree w/ you. This siteexplorer delivers results that I don't wanna see when I look up sites that I manage.

Hey Priyanka the link to site explorer doesn't work now.

Yes I think site explorer is not a good idea. Websites are not so private anymore.

Were they ever meant to be though?

Some of them, yeah. I've got a few subdirectories where I upload stuff that I only want friends to see, but I'm way too lazy to manage a password or anything.
Besides, I saw a few results that looked like "subdomain.domain.com/email@address.com", which looks somewhat like a webmail login. That's just silly anyway, and makes me question how they are getting these URLs.

It's working :-) .

YSlurp doesn't follow the ROBOTS exclusion standard...what makes you think Yahoo actually cares what webmasters think? :p

[kabatak]

well, isn't this just the same as google's "site: www.example.com" ?

No. That only lists sites that are linked to. I'm seeing directories showing up on Yahoo's version that I know are not linked to anywhere on the internite.

Well it wasn't working earlier.it works fine for me now.

How could they magically know of a url which isn't linked? They would surely need server access for that, which they obviously lack. Does it guess common directory names?

[Canuckkev]

Does it log stuff via the toolbar?
