Here’s a slick trick that will give you a fast peek at what Yahoo! has in their index for your site.

Go to https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/ and enter your site’s URL. After Yahoo! returns the page, make that page a Bookmark in your browser.

Anytime you hit the bookmark, Yahoo! will retrieve the current information, and display it.

Viola, a fast way to check Yahoo’s index and also see what incoming links are listed for your site. This may not be the most elegant solution, but it’s fast and free.

For Google, in their search bar enter “site:www.yourdomain.com” for a list of indexed pages. For a list of sites linking to your domain, use “link:yourdomain.com”. (These additional operators “inurl:”, “allinurl:”, “intitle:”, “allintitle:”, “info:” and “related:” also contain useful information. See http://www.google.com/help/operators.html.
