Yahoo update

FYI.................

Yahoo had an update overnight.

 

SERPS

We have had movement in all of our sites. In a very very competitive KW we moved up 62 spots overnight.

 

I see Yahoo SERP movement every day. Because they update every day. If not every couple of hours.

 

THis is more than "everflux"

Numerous sites

numerous KW's

significant movement. = update not just everflux

 

Great update, I see a one word "VERY COMPETITIVE" phrase on Yahoo, ranking #4 of 25 Million Results. I see a SPIKE in traffic

 

For me all is as it is. Not able to see any change.

 

Thanks for the heads up... it was a long time coming.

From one of my sites. No changes to site, domain has been around for 5+ years, it has averaged 200-300 uniques daily for over 3 years, with 75% of that being Yahoo referrals.

As you can see on May 12 I had 219 uniques, on May 13 I had 52. This was as a result of my Yahoo referrals dropping to 0, literally overnight. I would bein wondering what I did, except I hadn't done anything.....

 

Wahooo....!!!! Incredible jumps!! Couldn't be happier

Go, Yahoo!!

 

I just got a HUGE increase in Yahoo ranks. Until now I've ranked across the board as #1 on MSN, and within the top 5 on Google, but I was always N/A on Yahoo. Todays update and I am #1 across the board on Yahoo, as well. Its about time...

Better than average day for me on my main site, but nothing too substantial. Maybe a + 20-30% kick, although my Yahoo referrals aren't a big part of my overall SE referrals to begin with...

 

I 've had more referrals from Yahoo in the past day then I generally received all month long.

glad to see everyone ELSE is doing well on Yahoo.

BTW, friend of mine runs an ecommere site and paid for Yahoo inclusion (before he asked me!) and it's been 6 days now since Slurp has been to his site and he still only has about half the site indexed.

Most of my coop sites are falling out of Yahoo, one by one. Drop from top 3 to bottomless pit. Don't know if it's the coop has anything to do with it.... INitially coop pushed me to the top positions, but now I'm nowhere to be seen.

 

So far I am seeing a positive trend for the co-op additions to one of my sites. I hope it continues. If the co-op does cause some negative trends then switching to link vault is an option.

 

The sites that are dropping out of Yahoo enjoyed several months (about 4) of success with top placement on competetive terms after I got links to them in the coop. But across the board, my coop linked site seem to be getting the Yahoo axe.

So it took about 2 months for the coop to be felt. A good 4 month run, and now they seem to be falling. Nix - change that from falling to disappearing completely.

I've take some coop links out to a few of the sites to see if they return.

This makes me wonder about the redo of coop weight. I'm wondering if Yahoo saw, say 12,000 links to the site out there before, and now it only sees 2500, so it's put it into the pooper to see what happens.

Nothing has changed on the sites, the coop links have been inthere for about 6 months, so the only variable I can think of that has changed a conserrable amount is the number of times my links are showing up across the network.

I'm experimenting with lkink vualt on another site to see what happens

 

Yahoo did some unpleasant stuff to me. Recently I enjoined 20% overall traffic from that engine. Now I barely receive 10%
Any suggestions to improve my rankings in Yahoo!?
