Yahoo!'s New Site Explorer - Submit and Track Your Website Today

Yahoo! recently expanded their search engine service and now offers users the ability to access information that Yahoo! has about a site's online presence. You can see which sites and sub-pages are indexed by Yahoo! Search, track sites that link into a webpage, and view the most popular pages from any site.

The Site Explorer is Yahoo!’s latest strategy in an attempt to increase the quality of their search engine to compete with Google. Matt Mayernik, VP Technology of Hudson Horizons, has been using and testing Yahoo!’s Site Explorer over the past few weeks. His experience with the new service so far has been positive. Mr. Mayernik states, “Yahoo! Site Explorer is Yahoo!'s version of Google Sitemaps. The service allows webmasters the ability to gather more information about the status of their website in the Yahoo! search index. Yahoo! has developed an API that allows developers to download reports about their site, a very useful feature. I feel the new application is an enormous step forward for Yahoo! and will most likely provide a valuable resource for webmasters in the future.�

The new Yahoo! Site Explorer can be used to:

• Find which sub-pages within a URL are indexed by Yahoo!
• Find pages that link to that site or any page. (in-links)
• Submit and track feeds for your sites.

• Sub-domains from the site known to Yahoo!
• Last crawled date of your site's URLs.
• Language detected for the site's URLs.
• Additional details on the status of your site feeds, such as when they were last submitted and processed.

If you’re interested in submitting a feed, you can submit them through their FREE Search Page or through their Site Explorer API. They support the following feed submission formats: RSS 0.9, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom 0.3 or a text file containing a list of URLs, each URL at the start of a new line. The filename of the URL list file must be urllist.txt. The filename for a compressed file must be: urllist.txt.gz.

You can track the feeds for any site that you have submitted to Yahoo! Search once you register the site with them. You can also see more detailed information including the status, last processed date, and last submitted date for the feed, once you authenticate a site.

Yahoo!’s Site Explorer is their latest attempt to improve Yahoo! Search to become a stronger competitor in the race for the most widely used search engine on the Internet. Currently Google is estimated to receive 40% of all searches performed online, with Yahoo! at a close second with 30%, followed by MSN with 16%. Will the new Site Explorer help Yahoo! to improve their search engine and take more of a hold in the search engine market? In my opinion, this is a positive start.

I believe Yahoo! is on the right track and believe it or not, I think Yahoo! has a chance to surpass Google within the next three years. Is this possible? Let’s place our bets!

Search engines were also known as some of the brightest stars in the Internet investing frenzy that occurred in the late 1990s.[9] Several companies entered the market spectacularly, receiving record gains during their initial public offerings. Some have taken down their public search engine, and are marketing enterprise-only editions, such as Northern Light. Many search engine companies were caught up in the dot-com bubble, a speculation-driven market boom that peaked in 1999 and ended in 2001.

A search of the Web browser will not return the same results as searching the web would be. Instead, Site Explorer uses the URL you submit to return particular information related to the structure of the URL in the database search Yahoo! and the Web.Amazing Cities

You don’t need to have much technical knowledge to clean your bathroom exhaust fan successfully. It is advisable to clean your exhaust fan at least once an year to prevent dust and dirt from accumulating and eventually damaging the unit.
