That is no good for the people who use it. i don’t but i know how obnoxious it can be to try and figure out a new setup.

I am using Google webmaster tool for my works and I am totally satisfied by it but as bing is also becoming popular as google so I am expecting that bing is also going to do improvement and has to remove its drawbacks concern to its webmaster tool if bing want to stand in this competition fights.

Anyway thanks a lot for this.

My biggest issue with the switch is that Yahoo Site Explorer was the easiest way to analyze backlinks of sites not belonging to you.

I used it extensively to do research on dropped domains or just to find sources of valid backlinks when setting up a site in a new niche.

Right now, I’m using Blekko.com and it’s pretty good but I do find a lot of out-of-date information as opposed to YSE which always had fresh information.

I noticed that the yahoo site explorer officially shut down. And I guess we can now use the Bing. But the problem is that I am not fond of using Bing and I do not know what toolbar to use.

Darn… Why did Site Explorer have to go to Bing? But I actually found this tool called called Open Site Explorer by SEOMoz. Sad thing is that only allows 3 searches per day. Really sucks for and affiliate marketer like myself….
