Yahoo! Site Explorer

I'm a little late on this one, but the Yahoo! Site Explorer is a great tool for analyzing the depth of your crawl in Yahoo!'s search index. If anything, it's good to see search engines taking an active role in helping marketers do their thing. Instead of just assuming spam and junk listings are the only goal of site promoters, this kind of stuff sends a positive signal that the role of search engine promotion is being recognized and the relationship between search engine and marketers is taking a much less adversarial tone.
