Yahoo Site Explorer Slow - Alternatives?

10th October 2007

All month, Yahoo site explorer has been excruciatingly slow, and this morning it appears to be completely unusable. I suppose it could be Comcats, or some problem in beteween us, but it’s been going on for over a week.

Just trying to do a simple backlink check can take over a minute or more,  and sometimes it fails to respond altogether.

If you can’t afford to have employees waiting for Yahoo site explorer to come back to life, try Yahoo site explorer in alternative languages. It may not be ideal, but it’s better than getting nowhere!
UK/ Ireland, Spain, Mexico and Argentina all seem to be responding just fine, and it’s only the US English version has been giving us hard time - here’s a Google search for the different versions

I’m not going to take the time to translate, because if you go there often enough you can certainly figure it out. The Mexican one seems to be quite snappy this morning

Does anyone have any other alternatives?
