Yahoo Site Explorer - Results not Accurate?

Yahoo Site Explorer has been very reputable in checking backlinks. A lot of webmaster and SEO's believe that it is far better that using Google search in checking backlinks. But recently this tool has given me doubts. I am launching Angelic Directory - the Human Edited SEO Friendly Directory, a new web directory soon and I have already started building its links. Being highly reputable in checking backlinks, I used Yahoo Site Explorer to check how my site was doing in obtaining backlinks. To my surprise the backlink results includes the text advertisement I placed in my signature in Digital Point Forums. This was not a live link at all and it should clearly not be included in the inlinks result. See this:

So with this discovery, is it safe to conclude that Yahoo Site Explorer is not accurate?

AIM Competes with the “G”

AIM by AOL is not popular that in all regions of the world but some critics think that AIM Mail is one close competitor of Gmail. These two email service providers provide at least two gigabytes of file storage and the best spam protection features. Gmail may have the upper hand in providing better email service but between the two, AIM provides better instant messaging service. In addition to that, AIM also makes instant messaging more fun by being able to use AIM smileys. There are thousands of free AIM smileys in the internet that can easily be downloaded by any individual. These smileys can added to your conversations and better express your feelings.

Gmail has earned a good reputation in providing free and quality email service but I say, AOL is not that far behind. AOL just needs extensive marketing strategies to have a shot in competing with Google.
