I have to agree with this, Yahoo is showing 130000 links to my site and I think they all contain the same anchor text. I wasn't ranking at all in Yahoo but when I upped the COOP weight to 60k pointing to my site with anchor text of three carefully selected words I am suddenly ranking at #1 for those keywords and on the first or second page for about 25 other terms containing a mixture of those keywords. And these are very popular terms, one has over 200million results. I don't rank anywhere in Google for any of those terms but never have so I'm not worried about upsetting Google.
Sadly, this is mostly true. In a Penn State study of browser's behavior, only 20% went on to the second page of results. I could not find the original study in html, but here it is in pdf... http://ist.psu.edu/faculty_pages/jjansen/ Click the second one down titled: "Real life, real users, and real needs: A study and analysis of user queries on the web" Or, you can read this summary: http://www.mikes-marketing-tools.com/marketing-tips/search-engine-user-study.html Bompa
HI WebGazelle, are you saying that Yahoo put more empasis on IBL now? do you mean multi-ip IBL or also site-wides? cheers
It seems like any and all links work. Site-wides and single links. Just watch who you trade links with and don't do site-wide cross linking.
I've had statistics of my website, and google and MSN index me a thousands times per month, while Yahoo indexes me like 20 times per month and only the main page. I dunno i never really did their add URL thing, but when i look at search engine statistics most of my visitors come from Google, and a few come from MSN, 0 from yahoo. It's really quite odd. I'm ranked #1 or on first page in about 20-40 keywords. This month i got 400 first-time hits from Google, 20 from MSN. So i'm really confused as to why Yahoo doesn't rank me at all.
This is probably a dumb question but could someone tell me if this is the Yahoo bot that crawls my sites "Unknown robot (identified by 'crawl')" There is a MSN bot, a Google bot, a Ask Jeeves bot, etc but nothing shows for Yahoo.
none. Heres what slurp bot indexes EVERY TIME: (my root) / Heres what msn and google bot index everytime: /index.php /tutorials.htm /tutorials-1.htm /tutorials-2.htm etc etc etc.
This is out of 1332 records. (All of which are MSN and Google): This is Selecting Slurp! bots only: / /articles.htm / /codedb.htm /index.php /tutorials.htm / /index.php / /index.php / / / / / And it goes on like that for exactly 29 records. Doesn't crawl anything except a few pages. I submitted my site to Yahoo today, and also to the directory. My website is mainly content based but i do offer a service of web design if needed. But hopefully they won't reject it, and say it is non-commercial. I dont want to pay 299$ :X
Don't worry about it. Yahoo is worth it. December has brought me only 28 hits for being #1 for a huge search term. A term that would have given me 250 hits from Google.
Yah. I dunno what happened I use to always go to yahoo. Now I went there a few days ago... And i just felt like... not going there again rofl. Psychological maybe? :XXX
I'm at position 11 for a huge keyword, 94,000,000 results. This is by attrician, I was not working it. That's pretty cool IMO. I nailed number one for the words I work with, #1 out of 17,800,000. Go yahoo!
