Yesterday, November 21st, Yahoo Site Explorer was taken down.
In it’s place is the following:
With the completion of algorithmic transition to Bing, Yahoo! Search has merged Site Explorer into Bing Webmaster Tools. Webmasters should now be using the Bing Webmaster Tools to ensure that their websites continue to get high quality organic search traffic from Bing and Yahoo!.
Yahoo announced this was going to happen a few months ago, so it hasn’t come as a shock.
With plenty of alternative, better tools available, such as Majestic and Open Site explorer, this really isn’t a big deal for SEOs.
Nevertheless, many will see it as an end of an era and the final nail in the coffin for Yahoo search.
