Authority Status in Yahoo.com?

Everyone knows that Google shows Authority Websites by showing 3-5 Inner pages under the main URL in Search Pages.

Search Page Link :

Does this mean Yahoo.com also shows Authority Website feature?
Just confused because i have never seen these kind of results previously and this is only for the top results.

Any comments on this?

 

Not quiet sure about the authority but, definatitly they are treating gii.in is a recommended one. Congratulations Amit!

 

Did you ever see these kind of results when you search for a normal keyword?
Iam confused because this is something new feature in yahoo i guess.

 

This formate is showing when I use http://in.search.yahoo.com, but not with http://search.yahoo.com

 

I think the use of the term Authority is stretching things a bit. Perhaps "Established Sites" might have been a better choice of words given the fact that not everyone would agree with your interpretation. Wishful thinking maybe but certainly not fact.

 

I see a normal yahoo listing when I click the link.

 

Well i have also added the screenshot
Didnt you guys ever see this kind of result before?

 

I see your screen shot. I was just adding that I don't get the same results that you do. I have never seen that before but I really don't use Yahoo that often at all.

I'm sure some one could shed some light on this.

 

I see a normal listing please do see a listing attached and the link was which you mentioned in.search.yahoo.com

Hope it helps...

 

Its seems to appear for top 1 or 2 links...

It seems like Yahoo Authority - Congrats

 

Yeah, it is for authority sites, you will notice that Wikipedia gets them and other big sites, find out more information at SERT forums:

Thanks for the link, i was seeing huge traffic from yahoo comming in from last fortnight and one visitor came from this link which gave me this doubt.

 

U sure about that?


Google calls them site links and I think will have a feature in the webmaster tools in the near future as to what links to show of inner pages.


btw, how much do u pay for that link on wordpress.org

must send u alot of traffic looking for wordpress templates.

 

I have no idea which link you are talking about and regarding the authority status check Post #1 and check the link dave posted

 

I think this is something new... I have not seen on yahoo...but anyways congrats buddy

 

How bout we check what google says about them.

I kinda didn't want to break it in, they have been showing them for over a year now.

Somebody else pointed it out, so I guess we see what google says about these so called authority sites.

The link, I don't know, I guess you would no more.

I think it's wordress.org or wordpress.com or the site where wordpress has the templates.

The anchor text is GII Templates if I remember correctly and it points to your landing page where u've got those purple or pink templates or whatever.

answers are right there.

In the future, they may let webmasters decide which sites to show for sitelinks.

 

So what do you name that kind of listing? since you try to prove everyone wrong who call this a authority status, and indirectly mean http://www.avivadirectory.com/downloadblog/?p=298 < is wrong and google is right

 

LOL, LOL, LOL

of course google is right, it is right there on there webmaster help.
