Fucking wankers. Better get the scraper out in the mean time.

Wow - didn't see that coming (maybe I should have?).

 

[iclosem]

so.. i guess it' bing webmaster now?

 

[no4h~]

not sure why this is somehow a surprise to anybody... they said they were planning on doing this almost a year ago.

 

[adikk3]

hope that there will be a proper replacement in Bing (like they say in their forums)

 

[Dominion]

Well, everything comes to an end *sigh*

 

[eochoa8]

That sucks!! --- Ohh well...

We'll eventually find a way around this.

 

[daveguy]

is this going to mess up SB?

 

[bosmolskate]

Damn this sucks

We'll I knew this was coming sooner or later.

All good things of Yahoo's are getting shut down, I knew it was only a mater of time.

I bet MajesticSEO and SEOMoz are glad to hear this announcement.

I am sorry but I am wondering what is THAT bad bout Yahoo Site Explorer closing down?

Can't we just use backlinkwatch or some other backlink tracking like google?

The Bing Webmaster Center team has been actively

YSE is the best of what's publicly available, the others just aren't as good.

yep this should not be a shocker. This was talked about long ago. If you have not notices over 6 months ago the yahoo ads and bing ads merged to be managed under bing.

Just one more step closer to 100% of shutting down yahoo.

Just wonder about the yahoo Directory that people pay 299 a year for what they are going to do with it.

Hi, will it be effecting the Backlink checker feature of Scrapebox too ? Please someone answer this

 

[selacravio]

I would expect the creator of the backlink checker to switch to a different information source.

 

[altaris]

Time to invest in shares of seo services providing backlinking data

 

[Digibox]

This sucks. Hope there will be a good alternative

I had a site that I paid that to have it included in the Yahoo directory ( that was then when I knew nothing about Internet or SEO unfortunately).

Total waste of money that was. Never gained anything SEO or SERPS wise in yahoo or any other search engine.
