Last night I got several errors, page not found for http://search.yahoo.ca but it was okay within 15 minutes.
It won't affect Google at all. They do not need Yahoo! converts. Maybe in certain markets yes, but in most places of the world, there will be no need for Google to get some Y charity
Yahoo gets more than 50% of their traffic from their email system. Most people don't realize that this is still the number one usage of the Internet (even if 2/3 is spam now).
For the past week yahoo has been very very slow for me. I'm not surprised by this at all. I check yahoo daily and I've never seen these types of issues. It's as if they have a bunch of servers running close to capacity. I thought I was the only one having problems !
Is there a reason to use Yahoo at all? Their search sucks, their email sucks, and their portal is bloated and crappy.
yahoo's inventory tool isn't working for me http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ it down for anyone else?
well it doesn't matter to me....as i never use yahoo.. And its working fine btw. Probably your ip has been temporarily banned for service abuse.
Runner, It's not working for me too. I don't even go there. So might be my IP is blacklisted because of some other user or Yahoo is having problem! Bill
Here is my yahoo as of now. I've been trying to load new.yahoo.com for over 3 minutes now. I'm on a 3 megabit cable connection. This is amazing.
Yahoo has been working fine for me. However, overture has been timing out alllll over the place for the last week or so. Does overture include yahoo searches too? Or is it just Google?
Overture has always been slow to me. A cople of weeks ago I send an email to the local yahoo advertising contact where I live and told them that I would stop advertising with yahoo and spend my $50000 other places because of the slow overture tool. (I have never advertised with them of course), but they got very nervous and wanted me to stay, but I just said no. Hehe, thats how I have fun these days. I must get a life soon.
The 999 error is caused because of a blocked IP, here is a good summary: http://www.murraymoffatt.com/software-problem-0011.html
This is really sad I guess Ima eventually stop going to yahoo news cause the page wont load a lot of the time now. However all other web pages load fine.
