So suddenly my site hits big a couple of weeks ago in yahoo, a number 2 listing for free chat rooms and free chat, a number 11 rank for chat rooms, and top of page 3 for chat. Then this morning I wake up and we've fallen from number 2 to page 4, not even sure where we are now for the keyword chat. Anyone else see anything like this with yahoo? What could be the reason for the sudden rise and fall? I haven't really changed anything so kind of has me scratching my head.
It must be some kind of server propogation issue I think. I just checked the serps again tonight and we're back up again. I hope they stay up there now lol.
With many search engines you'll notice rankings jump around when they do any kind of updates. Eventually the rankings settle down to where the search engines ultimately think that website should be ranked.
You are probably seeing movement because of http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000625.html the update they did. I have seen a lot of fluctuation with clients rankings over on Yahoo.
usually when you see the rankings jump around it means that they are updating their data centers, it should go back to normal
