Google is 'forcing' you to use their 'webmaster tools' as previously mentioned and by not allowing these figures to be farmed from the natural end, Google is reducing the load on its servers by stopping all the linking tools from getting this data. Google does not like the use of any automated tool on its databases, it even states it in the guidelines.
They prvide an API key and want to control much more.
If you run any link tool, Google will not give the answer, you have to login to their system.
As for Yahoo v Google, Yahoo counts virtually every link and Google is more selective, even when using webmaster tools.
Are Google trying their best to remove Bill Gates from the top of the most envied and despised charts by getting up peoples noses with their 'world domination'?
I have customers who refuse to put Google Analytics on their site, wont allow them to be in webmaster tools and wont touch the google checkout.
It all reminds me of the linux v windows debate.
This debate really makes me laugh, especially when you get 'flavour' of linux which then runs like windows.
