Yahoo has its own webmaster tools, they call it site explorer. In theory it is to be similar to Google’s webmaster tools, although it is a half hearted attempt and really does not offer you much insight into your websites stats within Yahoo.

Yahoo site explorer does offer the opportunity to submit a sitemap to Yahoo, and to review what and how many pages from your site are actually indexed (within the Yahoo search results). It will also display your external and internal links, and this is one spot where Yahoo really shines. Yahoo displays all of your back links (links from external sites). Unlike (Google “traditionally’ only shows a certain percentage of your back links), your Yahoo back links can also be exported to excel so you can thumb through them and sort them efficiently. Lastly Yahoo does provide you the opportunity to remove pages or entire websites from its index which can be handy if Slurp (Yahoo’s search engine spiders name) indexes pages that you did not want indexed.

Yahoo has a signifgant amount of work to do to gets its version of webmaster tools up to snuff: offer the basic search results for your site and web site ranking would be the bare minimum.
