Hi all, I'm new on this forum . I have a site that has around 10000 pages indexed by yahoo but I don't appear in the results. I say around 10000 pages because the pages are fluctuating a lot from 5000 to 15000. About 3 months ago I was getting from yahoo 500 unique users per day, @ 7000 pages indexed. Has anyone got the same problem? I need to know if I’m banned from yahoo or what? I need an advice. Thanks!
It is a lyrics site. I make updates at 2 -3 days. I was in the results 3 months ago but now nothing, not even one user per week. I was thinking to try resubmit my site again but i don,t know if this is a good ideea.
yahoo takes forever to deep index a site and send traffic to subpages first it indexes them, then after a long while they actually start appearing in the serps
It's happening to me also. My site has been listed in the first 10 in Yahoo for about 3 months. After 3 weeks it dissapear even in the 901-1000 page results. Here is the log from Yahoo robot in my site this month. As I see, it comes to my site every day. Inktomi Slurp 21454+1042 147.33 MB 31 Oct 2005 - 13:38 My question is this: When Yahoo comes to my site, is it indexing? If I type www.mydomain.com in Y search, I get abnout 40,000 results. thanks far
It's very good possible that a site is indexed and penalized. The homepage is normally cached and all other pages do not have correct title tag and no description. You can always ask yahoo, they will tell you if a site is penalized or not. But don't expect any reaction after that... http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/ysearch/cgi_urlstatus

Has anyone gotten out of the Yahoo penalty? My site was penalized (pretty much dropped from serps) sometime in June. Since then I've done lots of revisions to my site to clean it up. I had some old doorway pages from years ago, etc. It's now been 4 months since I cleaned house. I've emailed them about 5 times, never once getting a response. Funny part, they accepted my site into YPN of course... Just curious if anyone had luck getting back in... any advice appreciated...
well if you are on a shared hosting account then their is probably a lot fo other website with the same ip , are they penalized too?
Whilst investigating why I was unable to access one of my own sites via my ISP (I could access it via a proxy) I came across an interesting article about a website whose IP was being blocked by Yahoo's ISP's blacklist. I can't remember the full details but it's certainly possible and I'm hoping that the same has been happening to me. I was getting great traffic at the start of the year and then it suddenly dried up and only my homepage is indexed yet Slurp is the most frequent and bandwidth hungry bot on that site (one of the symptoms of the website in the article I refer to was that Slurp was attempting to spider regularly). I switched my IP address from shared to dedicated the other day (which fixed my access problem) so I'm waiting with baited breath to see if Yahoo re-indexes the rest of the site and starts sending me traffic again.
