My hotels website disappeared from the yahoo engine on the 2 nov when it returned on the 3 nov it ranked No.1 in yahoo.com, No.3 in yahoo.co.uk-world wide search but didnt return to yahoo.co.uk uk only searches. It now 2 weeks later and still no rank, Can any one tell me why yahoo would remove my site from uk listings- its a uk address business, hosted in the uk but it is a .com domain?. All other search engines have realised and rank me higher in uk searches.
Have you set your Language code to en-gb in the headers of your pages .... i find that can sometimes helps when not on a .co.uk domain.
Thanks for the tip vagrant. I havent...yet. Do you think this have any negative effect on ranking in world searches??
If you can become a hero in yahoo.com, you can easily become an hero in yahoo.co.uk. dont worry be patient work hard you will be in top in yahoo.co.uk all the best.
Can you share website URL as well keyword? This can help to give you exact solution.. What do you think mate?
Yes maheshkapshikar -its ventnorhotels.com and the keyword, no suprise is "ventnor hotels" its only around 3 months old and ranks 6 in google, 3 in yahoo.co.uk world wide and 1st in yahoo.com but knowhere to be seen in yahoo.co.uk uk searches?
I think the 'corpus' for each local engine may be different (the indexed pages) thats why there is difference in ranking. You may want to read this post about local ranking factors http://www.semportland.com/business/a-fresh-look-at-local-search-ranking-factors/
Thats possible Traffic-Bug but they did rank me in uk searches for 2 months???, there were no changes in the website and suddenly it disappeared from all yahoo searches for 1 day and just never came back to uk only searches. I cant think of any logical reason why.
