Internet Marketing Guru AB Presents Free Holiday Backlink Offer

As the Yahoo Site Explorer backlink counting tool will no longer be functioning as of the end of the year, leading SEO specialists Internet Marketing Guru AB are offering free backlink counting services to the first 30 companies which sign up for the offer before Christmas (December 25, 2010).

(London, UK), December 21, 2010 — The merger between Yahoo and Bing has led to the discontinuation of Yahoo Site Explorer, which was the standard tool used by webmasters to count backlinks and thereby monitor the impact that their backlinks could have on the algorithm which Google uses when considering backlinks for ranking purposes. Therefore, webmasters are turning to SEO professionals to provide this service, and leading UK SEO specialist Internet Guru AB has therefore decided to offer free backlink counting to thirty companies which sign up before December 25, 2010 (Christmas Day).

After being contacted by several existing clients who were notified of the cessation of the Yahoo service at the end of the year, Internet Guru Marketing quickly combined and customized top proprietary solutions in order to be able to provide accurate backlink counts for new and existing clients alike.

Gary Young, the founder of Internet Guru Marketing AB, explains: “Like many SEO experts, I became aware of the impending loss of backlinks across the board when Yahoo Site Explorer was recently temporarily disabled. I knew the end of Site Explorer was coming soon enough, and I contacted software manufacturers to find a solution that I could use in order to satisfy my own needs and client requests. Having found and tested a reliable solution as thoroughly as possible, I want to offer backlink counting free as a holiday promotion to webmasters who had previously relied on Yahoo Site Explorer and need a reliable replacement as soon as possible.”

Offering backlink counting services during this time of transition from the previously reliable industry standard is one of the many ways in which Internet Marketing Guru AB makes sure that its customers receive the highest level of service regardless of developments in the industry.

Have You Noticed The Massive Drop in Your Yahoo Backlink Count Lately?

Many people are only now beginning to realise that there has been a dramatic fall in the number of backlinks reported by the important Yahoo Site Explorer tool, and forums such as those hosted by theWebmasterWorld.com and DigitalPoint sites are seeing an increasing number of confused users looking for explanations for this.
The greatest worry is around the fact that, the backlink count is a key factor that Google uses to determine website rankings, most people rely on the Yahoo Site Explorer backlink count facility because it is seen as being more accurate.
The recent news that Yahoo will be integrating their Site Explorer with the Bing Webmaster Center is seen by many as a factor in the above development, although the only comment from official Yahoo sources up until now came from the Yahoo Site Explorer Product Manager, Hemant Miocha, who stated on a Yahoo suggestion board on Oct 20 that the company is “working with the Microsoft team” to make the tool usable again. The comment went on to clarify that the functionality would now only be available through the Site Explorer UI and “not through the Webservices API”.
“The massive drop in the backlink count was apparent several days ago and, like many SEO experts, I became aware of the loss of backlinks across the board. I am particularly concerned that little is being said on official sites and that there are not more people screaming about this”, was the opinion of UK SEO expert Gary Young of internetmarketingguruservice.com, who had already been contacted by several concerned clients looking for updates on the matter.
Despite the fact that Google uses its own algorithm to determine the number of backlinks most people rely on Yahoo to obtain a reliable figure. These new issues arising from the Yahoo/Bing merger have now thrown this main barometer into confusion and SEO experts are scrambling to reset their tracking indicators.
