Has Yahoo messed up?

Does anyone notice that your keywords regain their position?

 

Not here so far.

 

A few of my Keywords cam back for a day, now it's gone again?!

 

Yea, what the hell happened, I went from #1 for a good keyword I wanted to keep, to #307. =( Booo, is pretty much everyone seeing massive drops? I know yahoo bounces around a lot, so I hope it comes back.

 

Don't count on it... none of my dropped keywords have moved at all.

 

The same here

 

The keyword I was concerned about has jumped back up this morning to #6. I remember now that #307 was the position it was stuck at for weeks, a while ago. Is it possible yahoo reverted to old results somehow? And is now coming back?

Maybe not, but at least there is some hope your kw's will come back up!

 

Not for me, still N/A for my top keywords

 

I doubt any of the sites are coming back.

 

I have completed been dropped for any of my keywords (not in top 500) but still remain indexed.

 

Well, I wouldn't give up on that.

It's impossible that all sites which were good enough for a long period of time are now soooo bad. Obviously Y's trying to manipulate the web search towards their only own interest.

 

Started about 5-7 days ago. Lost all my top 10 rankings in Yahoo and was replaced by a bunch of spammy sites.

Is Yahoo now deciding to reward spam sites and punish people like myself who have done everything correctly?

Seems quite rediculous to me.

 

Is anyone here still doing good in yahoo? From what I see it looks like some type of link threshold filter has put in place and possibly an aging filter.. The keywords I monitor used to contain sites with 50K links.. now they are in the 1K range... with the exception of older sites..

The sites that are doing good with me are sites with links under the 1k range... One is a newer site and the others are older sites (2 years plus). the newer site has adsense and older sites do not.

The sites doing poorly for me are the ones with links in the 30k on up range. One is with a monster sitewide (pr8 and high pr7 pages).

I am trying to find a pattern here. Scrapers and doorway pages still do well when their link count is in the 1k range.. It also looks like they see deep linking a plus and may penalize sites with all the links going to main page. This is my observations so far. Anyone else see a pattern on why sites are ranking well now?

 

some of my sites are now totally de indexed

 

Really interesting observations

This seems silly on Yahoo's part if there is any weight to the 'casting vote' theory that Google seems to rely on. For the most part all I am seeing is crap spam sites in the top 10 now. How the hell does this help a surfer looking for specifics. So now we can search Yahoo for the best spam online.

I have to agree with almost everything you say rjhere, as it seems to be exactly what I am finding. A big blunder as I see it. Not because my sites have been dropped from serps but because I am getting mostly crap returns from Yahoo when I search for almost anything. I have concluded that their is a link threshold in place as well....again seems moronic. Some websites actually earn links (votes). How can they decide who's scheming and who's honestly obtaining votes.

 

Hmmm...who knows, maybe there is some hope .

 

Ooohh I really hope so. I do so love Yahoo's weather reports.

 

You meant to say we need more "nitty gritty", or was that sarcastic?; guess the latter one's right.

 

Well Arnie, I give up on Yahoo. Time to move on. Assuming you are aware of last nights updates. I am still history at Yahoo and I am still seeing alot of CRAP in the top ten.

ATTENTION ALL YAHOO USERS...SERPS ARE CRAP, USE GOOGLE.

 

Lol maybe we should give them a bit more time. What about one more day? This devauling of webpages didnt hit just a couple of website owners , thousands of webmasters where hit. Yahoo is aware about there crappy serps searches at the moment, and have stated on there weblog that a new update will be last/this night. Shouldnt we be a bit more patience.
