The Yahoo Search Blog announced that they are testing out a new design for Site Explorer plus offering a variety of new stats about web sites.

The new design is available for all to see at a special, beta URL located at http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/new.

As part of the new design, Yahoo added a site summary page that shows additional stats about registered/authenticated sites, including:

+ Site URL + Number of pages known + Number of pages crawled + Number of host on this domain + Number of inlinks + Number of inlink domains + Number of outlinks + Number of outlink domains

Also, the number of Dynamic URL Rewriting rules has been increased from 3 to 10.

Here are two screen shots of the new interface: Overview Page:
