Why yahoo is always the fastest

[ottodo]

a couple of weeks ago I have lunched new site, but this is second time where yahoo was the fastest in indexing the sites, is this right? why do you think?

[guruvu]

yes i think you are right .... my sites also very fast indexed by yahoo ... iam observed that ...

[Richie_Ni]

Yea,they are fast...Probably it's not they are fast,but google is slow?

[ottodo]

i think it is related to the Algorithm they use!

[wakeworld03]

I've noticed that Yahoo tends to be the fastest for me as. Well, I'd say its typical but I would be interested in hearing if someone had a different opinion.

It is. I am even seeing some good traffic coming from yahoo compared to the other engines.

[Subzero]

Yahoo is very fast in indexing, MSN is not far behind.

[Kirtan]

To me, MSN in fastest in indexing and also it rank new sites well. Ofcourse, then ranking dropped as days going.

[trichnosis]

yahoo index fast but it is very difficult good serp point on yahoo:(

[ablaye]

Based on my experience, Google is way faster than any other search engines in indexing my sites. Google is also the number 1 for bringing traffic to my brand new websites.

[oseymour]

Yahoo always indexes my sites first...the first couple months are always tragic for me in Google

[cormac]

Probably lack of knowledge on Yahoo & MSN's part and thats why its so easy to spam them both.

[ReadyToGo]

It was always my impression that MSN is the fastest.

[riverlee]

Maybe it depends on the authority(they think by theire self algorithm ) you get BL from,sometimes,yahoo index very fast even get only a backlink,sometimes there are already lots of BLS shown in Y,but not indexed even beyond one month.

[stock_post]

They added more servers and google is behind now.

Google probably is working on hardware update so they can compete with the best now (yahoo)

[jhmattern]

Google actually got me indexed fully the quickest on my latest two sites... I just put new ones in my sig here, on profiles on other sites (other sigs, myspace profile page, my suite101 profile, etc.), and on the home page of a few of my other sites, and Google's pretty quick about it. MSN I had to wait on quite a while though. I don't remember Yahoo being particularly fast either.

[Sword]

For me it was Yahoo first by far and they indexed a lot of my pages right away. Then MSN and they indexed a hanful of pages. Then Google was a distant third, indexing just my home page. One of the guys that had been around in the Google webmaster forum said it was typical now and he and a lot of others mentioned the Google sandbox, which refers to them ignoring some sites up to a year. But, it sounds like it's a little hit or miss with them, being that a few people have had a different experience.

[vid]

I'm agree yahoo is faster, but with this it does some not understandable thinks..:(

[shabbi_0015]

Yes this is true. The yahoo is more faster than any other search engine.

[steliosp]

yahoo is defientely the fastest!! Last week i subm,itted a site map for yahoo this week is indexed!!! I love yahoo on this one!!! i wish it could bring some more traffic!! I also like a lot the site explorer they have!! i think is very usefull!!

Yahoo has been picking up my new sites faster lately.

Mind you that might be entirely due to the fact that Slurp hits my sites 20 times (literally) as much as MSN, Google, and all other engines, combined.

That could explain it yes :)

[riotz]

LOL

It's a good thing I don't consume a whole lot of bandwidth at this point; otherwise I wouldn't have been able to post that so calmly. I haven't even looked to see what Slurp uses, but based on the number of pageviews, it's probably close to what my visitors & the other bots use up, combined..

I wouldn't complain so much if I was getting substantially more traffic from Yahoo. For 20x the crawling; I'd also expect a lot more indexed pages too. Used to have a lot more indexed in Yahoo, before their bot started hanging on my sites like crazy, and now that they are, not so much. Google, while it takes longer to get indexed initially in most cases, usually ends up with way more pages indexed & cached, with 1/20 the crawling.

Nothing like sitting on a brand new great idea site and cursing Googlebot for not crawling very much because I want it to take off fast, finally resigning myself to it taking a long, long time, and then all of a sudden a month or so later seeing the entire site indexed, while Yahoo still shows only the homepage. Damn bots :P

[Big0ne]

I agree with you guys. My site got also indexed fast.

[MyBlueDog]

Agreed. Yahoo is definitely faster. You can look at it as they are #2 so they have to " try harder." Or that Google is #1 and they have to be more selective/protective.

Both are indeed true.

[cldnails]

Are you talking about a complete index or only a homepage or partial list?

[JEET]

Yahoo comes in fast, but then kind of stops in between...
For me it's google that always shows maximum pages indexed, and not to mention maximum traffic sent! :)
Wo I love google!!! ;)
Bye

[orengelo]

Yahoo is definitely faster than Google and MSN, atleast for me.

My site is 10 days old and here are the stats:

Pages Indexed

Google - 2
MSN - 1
Yahoo - 102


Backlinks

Google - 0
MSN - 0
Yahoo - 2 (external) and 71 (internal)

[1fortune4m]

I know that if you have a BRAND NEW site and throw on a PR7 or higher you'll
get indexed by Google in 24hrs.

PRWEB Press release also gives the high five to Google for a rapid 24hr or less inclusion as well.

[ltjman22]

Just speaking from experience, MSN and Yahoo have always been the fastest for me. MSN more than yahoo, but both very fast to pick up on the sites!

[Nigel360]

My site has over 1,000 pages indexed!

[gabrielangel]

Google has indexed more of my pages and showed me more traffic in the past, but now Yahoo is showing me more love.

[joecool6101]

i have been reading about it on another forum similar to this... big discussion on how MSN is the slowest.. i havent got a chance to check yet for my site. But im pretty sure its not indexed...and i have been open since Nov 16th.

[EasyMarketer]

For me, I get sometimes more from google, sometimes more from yahoo, and sometimes more from msn. It depends on what kind of site, forums google likes more. Yahoo likes regular content sites more, and honestly i dont know what msn likes, with msn its just mix and match.

Yahoo, the best !??! :D
I have sites where google is indexing thousands of pages while yahoo is only indexing a couple of pages. Those are content rich sites and google crawls 900 pages a day in average.
Other sites where Yahoo is indexing more (or at least, non supplementals in google are less than those indexed by yahoo) are semi generated pages. Even in indexing, google is way better then competition.

[sz2006]

My site: Yahoo:Google:MSN=100:10:1

[Bofia]

google's indexing is probably the slowest because they have complicated algorithms such as the page rank thing, having to crawl through all the sites and back and forth to determine PR
