A DigitalPoint Forums has reports from dozens of webmasters that their link counts in the tool are way down.
Some users are reporting as much as of an 80-percent reduction in the number of links Yahoo Site Explorer is finding for their sites.
Lost about 75% on all sites today.
Ya! This was a huge drop though..not the usual slight fluctuation. i lost like 12k links.
I don't track my links on a frequent basis for this site, but I was able to dig up a past link count that I posted here back in October 2007 where I found I had 216,880 inlinks reported. Today, Yahoo Site Explorer reports I have 271,196 inlinks. So I don't see any reductions and I also checked some tools that might have been tracking this for me on an automated basis and I see no reduction.
(1) Either this site was not impacted or (2) This was a temporary bug that is now fixed.
Are your Yahoo inlinks report down drastically?
