Kaustubh, the problem is that Yahoo! Site Explorer (just like any other search engine) shows 1,000 results max. Actually, this is true for any SEs' operation - any SE shows how many pages it is aware about (it can be thousands and millions of them), but actually it gives only 1,000.
For example, if you're looking for "britney spears" in Google, in the upper right corner Google displays:
----------------------------------------------------
Results 1 - 10 of about 196,000,000 for britney spears.
----------------------------------------------------
I.e. Google knows about 196 millions(!) pages.
BUT if you decide to go through all of these pages, you'll see that Google gives access to 1,000 results max (maybe even less) - go
check it yourselfThe same is with Yahoo! Site Explorer - no matter how many backlinks Yahoo! shows it's aware of, it'll always give you only 1,000 results max
PS: however, we're preparing a fix that will let SEO SpyGlass find much more than 1,000 results (actually, it is not very easy to get such info, but hopefully pretty soon you'll be getting much more than the standard 1,000 you can get from Yahoo! Site Explorer

)
