If the homepage is a PR6, has links from its homepage to other pages on its site, and has only one page indexed in Yahoo, I'd be very suspicious. How did it get such prominence in Google and MSN without getting more than just the homepage indexed in Yahoo?
Of course, there are also very simple explanations, too (maybe you didn't search correctly in Yahoo). So we'd need more to go on and exactly what you're wanting to know.

I'd stay away from buying something you don't currently understand.

I used the marketleap.com tool to check the sites search engine saturation.
This site is relevant to mine. Can it hurt my yahoo ranking to have a text link on his site?

How did the site approach you? Random emails about buying links on sites are not really something I'd answer or waste time with? They come and go everyday. I'd do some checking into the site, especially if you know nothing about it or the owner of it.

nothing wrong with the site. Yahoo does a major index update about every three months. But it picks up the homepage of a new site pretty quickly

Regardless of anything else that anyone might say, a link pointing to yours can't hurt you.
This is assuming you're not linking back. If they're just linking to you, then don't worry about it.

But if Google is showing a PageRank score of 6 and it's indexed in MSN, it's probably NOT a new site.
I think it was a good question!

I think that the website is penalized by Y! for one thing or the other!
