The unwritten reasons for the YaBing merger

1. The new Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz needed to do something to justify her hefty 47mm pay package, so she signed away Yahoo’s future to secure hers.
2. Microsoft has been desperate to compete with Google for nearly 10 years, and would give away nearly anything to beat them. Thanks to the unfortunate hiring of Mrs. Bartz, Microsoft got Yahoo’s hard earned online traffic and respect at a very low valuation.
3. Google has been dominating the web for the past decade, and the only real way to challenge them is for the second place participants to join forces. Competition is almost always a good thing, and I really look forward to seeing how google responds to some healthy competition.

Recently yahoo started showing erratic backlink results and caused much speculation in the SEO world that they were on the verge of removing this research tool as Google and MSN have done. Google has the most reliable link data, but it is hidden behind Google Webmaster Central, disabling competitive link research on websites you don’t own. MSN is a mixed bag, some seeks they show relevant link data, other times you might as well ask the magic 8 ball for a backlink count. For the past few years, showing links was Yahoo’s game to loose.

Today Yahoo! Search maestro Priyank Garg put the search engine optimization community at ease with these comments about the Yahoo Site Explorer:

While the counts have been incorrect in some cases, the actual returned results have been correct. However, we did roll out a product fix yesterday and will be rolling out a couple more over the next few days to resolve this difference in counts some of you have observed.

If you are serious about getting a better ranking for your site and engaging in link building, Yahoo Site Explorer is the tool you need to monitor your backlink status.
