Yahoo Site Explorer gets a makeover

The latest update to Yahoo Site Explorer gives webmasters a new interface and expanded capacity for Dynamic URL Rewriting.


Yahoo's Search team plans to make the new Site Explorer the default soon, after more people give it a look and play with the latest features.

Priyank Garg had more about the most notable feature, Dynamic URL Rewriting, at the Yahoo Search Blog:

Our most successful function among all has been Dynamic URL Rewriting. We've had thousands of site owners enter rules for their websites and webmasters auto-rewrite an average of 25,000 URLs per rule, with some sites rewriting millions of URLs in 1 shot.

The new interface also includes a new Site Summary page to provide statistics for authenticated sites. On top of this, we're also increasing the number of rules for Dynamic URL Rewriting that you can enter from 3 to 10.

Get used to it now, webmasters, because it's going live soon.
