Yahoo Site Explorer Backlinks shows wrong count

Since this day our SEO guys found, that backlinks to a domain are falsely displayed – well falsely is not correct, yet it seems as if yahoo now makes a difference between simply putting www.artviper.net for example or http://www.artviper.net/ to the search bar.

While in this sample the first result comes up with a little more than 151.000 backlinks, the full URL with trailing slash shows the value we’ve been used to: over 748.000 backlinks. So keep this in mind if your in the business of search engine optimization, as this could have a huge impact on the calculated strategy you make up.
