Soon after Yahoo took over Inkitomi, I signed up my url for Sitematch thinking it would produce the same results as Inkitomi. Sitematch failed to produce results and it destroyed my rankings in Yahoo's free search results. Although Yahoo claims to have indexed 6800 pages from my site (via site:www), I can't even rank for my own company name!
My site (www dot globaltestsupply dot com) is a legitmate commercial site with no content that would warrant banning from the SEs. It is doing extremely well in Google and MSN, but not in Yahoo.
I am under the impression that Yahoo search and Sitematch are powered by 2 different indices and that when you register for Sitematch, Yahoo removes your url from the generic search results. How can I get back in (increase rankings for pages already indexed) to the generic "free" search results without creating a new url?
In the last several months, I have tried the following so far:
1. Optimized and re-optimized pages.
2. Created and submitted a sub-domain.
3. Removed my url from my sitematch account.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
