Link-Assistant.Com: "SEO SpyGlass Is One of the Few SEO Tools Not Affected by the YSE Shutdown"

Added: (Tue Nov 29 2011)

Pressbox (Press Release) - November 25, 2011 - Industry-leading SEO software provider Link-Assistant.Com is certain that the shutdown of Yahoo! Site Explorer will not affect the users of SEO SpyGlass. The cutting-edge backlink checker will continue returning just the same number of backlinks as before.

"We definitely saw this coming," says Viktar Khamianok, CEO at Link-Assistant.Com. "SEO SpyGlass has always used multiple backlink data sources, but, in the light of Yahoo! Site Explorer vanishing, we have worked on adding some more. Besides, we are currently testing our own multi-million database of backlinks that should go live within a few weeks. That said, I'm positive SEO SpyGlass will become the best alternative to Yahoo! Site Explorer in the days to come".

Link-Assistant.Com has also made an announcement on company's SEO blog.

*SEO in brief*

SEO (search engine optimization) is the art of ranking sites highly in the search results. SEO incorporates a number of different practices, from keyword research to content optimization, to link building.

Links from related sites (backlinks) are vital to high search engine rankings. Hence, many SEO's and site owners do backlink research to achieve the goal. Besides, there are many SEO tools that save one time spent on backlink analysis. One of such tools is SEO SpyGlass.

*The role of Yahoo! Site Explorer*

Yahoo! Site Explorer was a free Web service that provided backlink data to SEO's and webmasters. It shut down on November 21, which forced many SEO's and SEO software providers who used to rely on its database to look elsewhere for backlink intelligence.

SEO SpyGlass did use to employ Yahoo! Site Explorer as one of the sources to pull data from. However, with 412 other backlink intelligence databases integrated with the SEO tool, Yahoo! Site Explorer has never been its major resource.
Moreover, with an own link database under way, SEO SpyGlass should see little to no damage because of the service's shutdown.

*On SEO SpyGlass*

SEO SpyGlass is one of the four SEO tools that make up Link-Assistant.Com's larger toolset - SEO PowerSuite. What makes this award-winning backlink checker different from similar apps is that not only does it find backlinks on a particular site, but also provides a plethora of metrics that help one estimate the SEO value of each backlink at a glance.
