Yahoo Quietly Adds Top Queries & URLs To Site Explorer

I noticed this morning that Yahoo has added a new feature named “Top Queries” to Site Explorer. I have not seen any announcement from Yahoo on this addition, but it seems pretty new. The tool shows you the top ten queries by day, week or month. It also shows you your top ten URLs by day, week or month. Yahoo classifies “top” by the number of impressions you received for those queries or URLs, but it also shows you the clicks.

The last time we reported about new Site Explorer features was over a year ago. Back then, the action bar had less features, the one on the left is the old one and the one on the right is the new one:

Note, I did crop the bottom of the new one off, simply because that matches the old one.

Here is a closer look at these reports:
