Yahoo Links Badge from Site Explorer

Want to show off the incoming links to your site? Yahoo Site Explorer has now come out with a badge for publishers & bloggers to show the amount of incoming links as tracked by Yahoo Site Explorer.

Yahoo is offering two different badge sizes and the option of posting incoming links to the entire site or individual page.

I do not see this of being of great value to the SEO community, as we already know ways of giving value to a site via incoming links and other metrics.

I do however see this as being another fun button which bloggers, sites selling advertising, communities and smaller publishers will add to their sites in a form of ego boosting and popularity measurement in the same ways that Technorati ranking or Feedburner RSS subscriber badges do.

It would also be nice to see the Links to Page measurement as an optional MyBlogLog widget addon for MyBlogLog Facerolls.

And let’s not forget, as long as Google searches for backlinks does not work correctly or accurately reflect the amount of incoming links, Yahoo Search should be taking advantage of their Site Explorer service and this is an excellent way to spread the word.
