Do I need to verify ownership of a site to see information about it?

Anyone can explore a site by entering a URL in Site Explorer and see basic information about that site's web presence, subpages within a URL that are indexed by Yahoo!, and inlinks.

When you verify your access to a site by authenticating the site, you can see additional data and get added functionality including:

  • Monitor the status of your submitted feeds to see the status, last processed date, and last submitted date.
  • View additional information about the URLs within your site, the language detected for your site, and the last date it was crawled by Yahoo! web search.
  • Access enhanced TSV download that lets you download up to 1000 results at once.
  • View a list of all indexed subdomains from your site, if your site is a host like yahoo.com.
