Solution to Yahoo Backlink Data Not Showing

I have noticed a lot of people are having problems with getting Yahoo backlink data to show recently. If I click to show Yahoo backlinks in the SEOBOOK Toolbar, or search it manually from Yahoo, from this search I can see:

This is obviously wrong, that site has more than 100,000 links.

I have found a simple way to continue to get the link data for now. You simply need to do your search on a different Yahoo (ie United Kingdom) – click here to see the same search results in UK. On that link I can see the following results:

For now you can do any backlink analysis as normal on Yahoo UK, so enjoy it while it lasts!

   Thank you so much for providing this alternative solution!

   This is what exactly I was looking for. Is there a way we can make SEO Toolbar retrieve data from another Yahoo?

   There has been a SEO Toolbar update and the Yahoo page links seems to be working fine now but the ‘linkdomain’ feature keeps on providing wrong numbers, not sure if this is an Toolbar or Yahoo issue.

   How odd. Great solution though, Yahoo has been a nightmare for link checking over the last couple of months. I just didn´t have the nous to change the location!

   Thanks a lot guy. I use SEO spy glass to check backlinks. But it doesn’t show the exact result for few days. So I was googling and found your page. I got my answer.
