    I must admit, since I've started my site (mid-June) I've been focussing on Google, but I recently noticed a big jump in yahoo (from around 150 to #3). I'm curious, since I didn't really change anything, why I might experience such a big jump? I would expect something like this from Google if I were to get out of the sandbox, but I thought Yahoo didn't have a sandbox?

    Did the number of backlinks to your site increase?

    I just checked my server logs and my traffic from Yahoo is up around 350% on my biggest site today. Hope this is long term :D

    My sites dropped. I also noticed that Yahoo reverted back to older versions for some of my pages. Perhaps the update is still happening

    Yahoo did an update on October 10th. There is no mention of an update after that.

    There was a big jump for my main keyword to #3 for me too.
    The only problem is that this is only when I search from Germany. :D
    I think I should buy a server in the USA the next weeks.

    My blog just rocketed up there for no apparent raeson on Yahoo.com it has overtaken my website for my company name, I'm not to bothered like, as it is also now ranking 1st page for my name David Eaves, no.1 for SEO casestudies and it's not far off on SEO reports and SEO products!
