Yeah, I’ve been feeling Y!SE slowly grinding down these last couple of months. I agree with Ann though, it’s the best we’ve got at the moment.

The thing has gone through periods of buggyness in the past.

You could even argue that it’s buggy in general.

Ann, you just did a huge service to us all with that ultimate link review post at SEJ!

Markus, the tool changes constantly… sometimes even hourly. I’m going to compare with MSN and see what I come up with.

As to Pubcon, thanks for the offer but I won’t be there. Perhaps if I’m lucky SES San Jose will be on the schedule. You going?

That is strange. I’ve seen some wild fluctuations in backlink counts – the problem is that Y! is really the only way to do this, so there’s no way to cross reference their numbers.

Obvious in a case like this where you know there are actually more, but what about all those cases when that’s the only thing you have to go by? Wish MSN or Goog provided an alternative.

(We’ll have to have a drink at Pubcon so you can “know me”

It’s a bit slow and inaccurate but that’s still the best backlink checking service available now…

Thanks for sharing that Peter. I don’t know why it shows up with that query, but the traditional exploring way of researching – eg looking up a page and then seeing who links – did not show it last night when I wrote this.

There are also many other links not shown there.

they got credit from your link : http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/uk/advsearch;_ylt=Ah5hmwmqs_ufpKKaY_i6qz5_PRh.?p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fabrykaspamu.pl%2Fwtyczka-do-wp-internal-links%2F&bwm=i&bwms=p

maybe it is domain’s strenght issue…

anyway, good point that YSE results are not so accurate..
