I've not seen much around on Yahoo's Site Explorer, their version of Google's Webmaster Central. It's clearly still in its infancy. At present you can add a website and RSS feeds for your website. You can also 'Explore' the website within the Yahoo search engine, see how many pages are indexed, how many and who link to you.nnI've been using it to find existing links to my old sarahfreelance.co.uk domain, especially as a lot are on my own blogs from linking to my own posts and comments. Luckily a quick SQL command allowed me to update the bulk of the comments via phpMyAdmin. Handy as there were 200-300 comments across the two blogs!nnWhilst what's available at present could be accomplished via the standard search engine, it's handy to be able to just click through and find what you want for each domain. Ideally I hope they expand this more. I've not seen a great deal of change since I signed up last year. Seems their last major update was August 2006, so hopefully some more updates are in the pipeline. At least at present you can submit site feeds, Sitemaps/URL Lists, and see the last time your site was crawled. Let's hope they start getting more data in there like Google.nnKeep an eye on their updates at the Yahoo Blog.
