A post this afternoon to the Yahoo Search blog revealed that some additional tinkering had been done under the hood of Yahoo’s Site Explorer, which you can use to check out details about your site, from the information Yahoo had gathered.
Not only have they made it easier to evaluate links back to your site, they’ve added a feedalicious new way to submit links from your site. It’s really cool because you can determine how many links you have to a particular page OR to your home page. That gets kind of interesting when you’re evaluating a traffic campaign where traffic lands on a specific page.
Clip ==> “Site Explorer also tries to make it easy for you to tell us what we don’t know about your site. To make it even simpler, we now accept site submissions in the following formats.
* RSS 0.9, RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0, such as CNN Top Stories
* Atom 0.3, such as, Yahoo! Search Blog
* A text file with a list of URLs, each URL at the start of a new line
* A single webpage
Note that for any URL (submitted directly or obtained from a feed), we will extract links from it and find pages we have not discovered already. ”

Thoughts ==> You know how I feel about anything feed enabled. Yum. And you should really check out that links tool that can show you URLs pointing to just one page of your site. Fascinating.
