Yahoo Redirecting More Site Search Queries to Site Explorer

February 23rd, 2007 by Loren Baker, Editor | 3 Comments

Noticed how Yahoo has defaulted “link:” and “linkdomain:” queries to Site Explorer results (eg. link:http://www.umdum.com)?

Well, Search Engine Land’s Barry Schwartz has found out that Yahoo plans to soon be redirecting “domain:” and “hostname:” queries to Site Explorer too.

Barry says that the change is supposed to happen today. Good for Yahoo Site Explorer, they have an excellent webmaster tool there for tracking your own site or spying on what your competition is up to.

now if they would only stop changing the address, eg: it used to be siteexplorer.yahoo.com, which now doesn’t even exist, not even a redirect!

Yahoo needs a more solid web strategy.
