Link Popularity Checker returns 0 for my site in Yahoo.. ?

[rcmedia2004]

Hi,

When I run the Link Popularity Checker tool at http://www.seo-guy.com/seo-tools/link-popularity.php it says my website is linked well in all the major search engines except Yahoo... where it says we have 0 backlinks.

Is this reason to be concerned?

*We paid the $299.00 almost a year ago to Yahoo's Express submission and we have good ranking there for a lot of our keywords.
I confirmed again today that we are still in their directory.
I noticed the rankings there jumping around a bit the last few days so maybe I just ran the link checker during an update/index.

Thanks in advance.

The tool is wrong. Report the flaw to the website so they will know about it and correct it. It is possible that Yahoo may have banned their IP for making automated queries to their index. I tried several Urls and got the same results, zero.

Do a manual check at Yahoo and do not put too much stock in automated queries, for Yahoo in particular. You can do a backlink check at Yahoo using different variations of your domain (with http;// without it, etc.) and come up with widely varying results. The correct query to perform at Yahoo to return the most results is link:http://www.webproworld.com/ with the trailing slash. As an experiment, run it without the trailing slash or any other portion of the Url (such as www or the leading http).
