End of Yahoo Site Explorer and What are the Alternatives
SEO’s and Online Markets will be searching where to go now for free access of invaluable information which yahoo site explorer provided over the past 6 years. There is no longer free alternative and the companies that sell information as part of the marketing tool platforms will be in absolute joy.
Competitor Analysis of sites has also been lost as Yahoo site Explorer will be restricted to sites you own. If Bing wants more people to use their tool instead of Google, they need to include competitor data access which Yahoo site Explorer showed.
It was in the year 2005, Yahoo Site Explorer was launched and lots of marketers were happy at the fall conferences that year. At that Google Webmaster Central was not launched and Site Explorer was the only tool found through paid analytics at the time
A lot of people would be looking for alternatives and in fact people were surprised about the announcement of the merger. Right now there are no tools available for free that covers everything provided by Yahoo Site Explorer. There are few tools available that can give people with fewer funds to start with.
Open Site Explorer from SEOMoz offers the same information but Pro membership is needed for accessing all the features. For people with only five websites or less, monthly fees start at $99. But you get a lot more than link information for that fee.
With the help of SEO Book and SEO for Firefox browser plugin you can get the individual numbers at the top or side of any page. It is free but time consuming. Yahoo site Explorer missed but lets wait and watch if it smart enough to attract all the people.
