Question on Yahoo Webrank

[kippie]

I have checked the Yahoo webrank of 2 sites: www.creatief-denken.nl gives webrank=4, while www.creatief-denken.be gives webrank=0. But when I search for "creatief denken" in www.yahoo.com I get the site of www.creatief-denken.be on position 8, while www.creatief-denken.nl is not found at all. I don't understand this at all. Could there be any explanation for this?

And is there an easy way to check if Yahoo has indexed a site or not?

This has already been discussed extensively on this forum. See http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=148.

But the simple answer is that Webrank has absolutely nothing to do with placement in Yahoo's SERPs. Webrank is a popularity measure. It ranks pages based on the number of times they are clicked on and loaded into people's browser. If you read the Webrank FAQ this is pretty clear.

Also remember that it is only in beta and as such many of us have found it flaky and inconsistent.

Hi Compar,

It can't be that way if I understand you well. Both sides are mine and the number of visitors of www.creatief-denken.nl (with a Webrank=0) is alreday for months 10 times more than the number of visitors of www.creatief-denken.be (with a Webrank = 4).

And is there an easy way to check if Yahoo has indexed a site or not?

I told you the tools was in Beta and flaky. How many times did you check each site? I will frequently give different results every time it is used.

No. Well I guess there is type in your URL.

Thanks Compar,

Well I checked it for 2 weeks now every day and each time I get the same results. So the ranking seems to be stable. But Thanks again for your attention

Is it too late to get the tool bar with Yahoo Webrank on it?

[digitalpoint]

Yes... they closed the beta.
