Yahoo Search Update?

[jgold454]

Anyone noticing an update in Yahoo today?

[eddie]

Yes
Many of my keywords that ranked #1-2 for years have dropped 10 spots or so.

yahoo just keeps getting worse

Anyone noticing an update in Yahoo today?

Yes! I have also noticed Yahoo update results, few of my websites jumped to 1st page! :)

[A.G]

one on my site was in the first page for certain keyword , now it's gone far away more than 20 pages

[fatwallet]

Yahoo killed my rankings for all my targeted keywords today.

I hope it comes back soon. This happen to me before, and took 3 months to recover:confused:

We will just have to continue what we're doing and hope for the best.

Good luck to all.

Same here.

It was like they turned a switch on July 31 and they wiped out 80% of my Yahoo traffic.

Turn that switch back off, Yahoo! (http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0geu6_N95NIFDgB_1ZXNyoA?p=how+to+refinance+a+mortgage+loans+new+york&fr=yfp-t-501&ei=UTF-8) :mad:

Ohh Yes, I did not check. Mine keyword also lost on Yahoo from first page to don't know which page. :mad::eek:

[kijakarn]

Less than 10 % of my traffic come from Y! , so it's the same , no effect to me.

[bposervices]

fact is 95% people used google and only 5% people used yahoo and msn..

[harvestre08]

yahoo update is really like a nothing, yahoo has to learn something from google algo.

[kalseo]

I also found update started in the middle of the week. Most of my websites are getting better position. My opinion is that algorithms are looking very similar to older Google algorithms from the middle of 2007.

[so.ray2000]

yahoo drive me 90% of my traffic since google banned me. thx god my rank doesnt change

[A.G]

some sites get 95% of traffic from Google and some other 95% from Yahoo
the websites that yahoo love , google hate it :D

[Hawaii]

It looks life they are trying to get more advertising by killing the search results. Then PPC will increase thats the theory. Will they ever learn?

[frugalwench]

This is strange. My Frugal Gardening 101 course used to be on page two on Yahoo, and now it's not there, but my website landing page is. They must have changed their algorithms as well.

Actually, my site shows up three times in the first four pages for the keywords "frugal gardening".

[DomainMagia]

Their last change is complete disaster. New SERPs prefer totally irrelevant, unimportant or simply just not the best sites. No wonder why they need help from Google or Microsoft to survive

[almir]

I started to receive some Yahoo traffic to my websites like a month ago, first time in few years. Small traffic, but it was sweet to see it finally. It seems that big part of it is gone now :)

[jamie28]

20% of my traffic come from yahoo.

[EducationLinks]

Yahoo is a complete joke. My site has been within the top 5 results on Page 1 for a major keyword for over 5 years. A few days ago, my site was pushed all the way back to Page 10. It's the same scenario for all of my major keywords. Pathetic.

[MikePrice]

My video site was received daily visitor and some of keywords in the 1st page. I am happy for that even the visitor is not much so far. :D

[gtwlabs]

Less than 25 % of my traffic come from Yahoo Answers, Yahoo Pipes and other Yahoo community.

I like yahoo site Explorer but updation was Good but not Bad for my sites.

Thanks
Eric

[johnlloyd]

most of my top 1 and 2 keywords drop to 8 and 9, which is not good in my part!

[tanggwa2006]

And my site too, huh...

[EducationLinks]

Information about new update at Yahoo's Blog:

http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000610.html

This update by Yahoo has unfairly penalized many old, authoritative sites. Yet another terrible move by Yahoo.

[Hallaboy]

Oh! for me its good because i saw my site in good position.

[EducationLinks]

Let me guess--your site is fairly new?

Oh! for me its good because i saw my site in good position.

[jssc]

I finally got in Yahoo! it was a long and uphill climb.. T__T

[sinol]

they are now going down in search industry.

[my_misyel]

I was surprised and noticed that most of my keywords ranked well in Yahoo.

[vietnamimpressive]

fact is 95% people used google and only 5% people used yahoo and msn..
