I have installed Yahoo! Badge on my site a while back, but had to take it down because I suspected it to cause some problems. Few days ago I decided to put it back on the sidebar of the blog. It’s available form Yahoo! Site Explorer.

I found it very interesting that this time around the number of incoming links had increased of about 2,000 give or take few hundred depending on what time of day you are accessing my website. It can be purely coincidental but of course this number is welcomed.

I have seen this widget on many websites and blog and of course I wonder if the owners of these websites had noticed an increase in number of incoming links? Just my curiosity for today.

I have to say that although this number is about twice the number I get for incoming links within Google Sitemap account, the traffic from Yahoo! is almost next to zero.
