NO...not by a long shot, I own a IT Company in California and we use Google for all our SEO Integration. AdAword is great, so is Google Analytics. And WAY more people use Google as a search engine then yahoo. So I would def use Google for all your SEO stuff.

Hehe.. love the answers so far. The question needs to be more specific. Google offers some decent tools if you validate your site with their system. Yahoo allows you to see the linking a site has no matter if you are the owner or not. Most people use the Yahoo Site Explorer to see their inbound links as it is the most accurate tool. I would suggest you use both but for the reasons explained. Use googles tools in webmaster central to get actual page link counts, top ranking terms, and other great info. Use yahoo site explorer to find your competitions inbound links. You want to rank in both so might as well see what information both have on you.

Each will give you different data. For example Yahoo Site Explorer will show a different (and more accurate) count of inlinks than Google. Google webmaster tools, however, will give you recommendations on broken links, duplicate content, etc. Things that are more important in ranking in Google. The botttom line is Google is the market leader. As a result it will send you more traffic if you site is ranked so you'll want ot pay attention to the tools they provide you. If you throw Yahoo into the mix you cover approximately 60-80% of all search queries. Not bad market coverage by any standards! As the previous post mentions, you want to rank in both right?I don't think it is a matter of choosing one over the other but a matter of intertwining their tools into your website management to achive results in both engines. (there is a rumor out there that MSN will be launching their own webmaster toolset as well).Check out this site: http://www.ppcforhire.com/semtools.html They have tons of free internet marketing tools (including a link to Yahoo Site Explorer and Google Webmaster Tools).

most seo tools give an incomplete picture for keywords imo...some have said certain kws shouldn't be getting traffic yet they give me hundreds of hits each day. I think common sense sometimes wins over the tools but they are handy...I would use Google tools because that's where your traffic is going to come from.

What type of question is this?
If a tool is meant for Google.com, it will work fine for that and if the tools is meant for yahoo.com, it will work fine. Now a days google is becoming more and more important , so seo tools which are meant for google are becoming more and more important.
