ell, i was doing some back-link analysis for one of my clients and it was leading me nowhere. While i was about to try something else, I tried something very simple – out of sheer curiosity….I was anxious to know the number of pages that Yahoo had (that were indexed by Google). So, of i went to get that million number.

I had the faintest of idea what i got…

While using the site operator – site:www.yahoo.com –> Here is what is Got: 239 pages

While surprised by the result, i tried the same thing for www.cnn.com, thousand times smaller than Yahoo

While using the site operator – site:www.cnn.com –> The number of indexed pages in Google : 264,000 pages

So, is it that – Google ignored Yahoo pages or

Yahoo cares a s..t about Google….Either way, it was a good discovery for me.
