Imagination or Reality? Yahoo and godaddy

    I found something very interesting.

    I have registered quite a few domains via godaddy.com and with 24 hours the site is indexed at yahoo. I haven't even told any sites that these new domains exist. In fact, they dont except for placeholders.

    So if you want an easy way to get into yahoo, this, oddly, seems to work for me. Quite interesting.

    All my domains are registered through Godaddy, and I never experienced this situation.

    Maybe Yahoo! felt in love with your server / IP adress..?

    Maybe. Very odd. I mean it was in google within 2 hours of registering the domain and all I had up was a "under construction" page.

    may be the domain you bought was expired domain. Means it was existant and indexed before and then expired and became available to purchase.

    Same has happened to me before. I bought photogrow.com and it was listed in google even before I bought it. So it may be the case with you

    Assuming GoDaddy sets up a generic "welcome" page, along with all their links and promotional crap on that page, the pages/site/server are intertwined enough that they will likely be indexed based on the fact that they are linked by a common site (the GoDaddy.Com domain).

    That's my guess anyway.

    That is a very fair assumption.

    Yeah I just noticed this with a new site I set up... I went to check the other day, and it had a cached page in yahoo that was from like a week before I finished the site. It was completely different software and everything and I didn't tell anyone or anytrhing about it.

    But I do use GoDaddy.

    By the way I immediately switched it to my host as soon as I registered it, so I am not sure that it would have had time to get searched because of godaddy page before I got it set up. And I don't think the url was hosted anywhere before I used it.
