Accuracy of Yahoo! Linkdomain

The author's views are entirely their own (excluding the unlikely event of hypnosis) and may not always reflect the views of Moz.

Today, Barry over at SERoundtable commented that Yahoo! appears to be having some serious issues with how many results its linkdomain command displays. Like Barry, I decided to take a deeper look into the links Yahoo! recognizes to SEOmoz.org.

Here are some of the results:

1. Linkdomain:seomoz.org -site:seomoz.org - 13,700
2. Linkdomain:seomoz.org -site:threadwatch.org -site:seomoz.org -site:cre8pc.com -site:sma-na.org -site:v7n.com -site:realestatewebmasters.com -site:socengine.com -site:searchenginejournal.com -site:seochat.com - 736

As evidenced by the above, 8 sites are contributing a supposed 13,000 links - primarily through sitewides, signatures and blogrolls.
