Yahoo Site Explorer gone...

"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!."

anyone have an idea how to check Yahoo backlinks stats now?
Bing Webmaster Tools will only let you check inbound links for the sites that you confirmed ownership of

Open Site Explorer (from SEOMoz) or Majestic SEO. Both have a free version, you get much more data if you're a paid subscriber.

OSE never used the Yahoo api (they have their own index), Majestic used to, but I'm pretty certain they transitioned off of it when Yahoo announced it would be going away.

Or, you can still go to http://search.yahoo.com and enter your backlink query in the format "link:namepros.com" - not sure how accurate it is, though, since only a few results come up. Better to use the other resources, suggested above.
