Yahoo SiteExplorer API giving “wrong” results?

24 05 2007

I was working on adding a new metric to the domain info tool, being the “deeplink ratio” (the number of links to other pages than the homepage, divided by the links to the homepage * 100), when I found out Yahoo’s SiteExplorer API is giving me wrong results. It returns way less links than the SiteExplorer web interface does… Compare these two for instance:

That’s weird right? Perhaps someone knows what I’m doing wrong?

I’m very certain that I’m using the same variables in both as in that I’m omitting the links from within the domain in both cases.
