Is it just me or does Yahoo have a horrible sandbox?

    It seems Yahoo has a sandbox way beyond Google's. It takes me many months to get out of yahoo's box.

    By the time my sites start getting traffic from Yahoo, MSN and G are both sending me a few hundred visitors per month. Is it just me and my sites or do other notice this?

    I do agree. My sites always take forever to get into Yahoo. Except sometimes it will pop up ranking high for some crazy keyword that I dont care about ranking for.

    I have experienced no problems whatsoever with Yahoo, I have uploaded brand new sites and had them listed within two weeks and first page listings within a month, something I can't say I have ever managed to do with Google.

    I have the same problem with Yahoo... Even on domains a year old I get more referrals from MSN. All my websites have strong on page seo and relevant links. Everthing is done right and not overdone. I don't understand their ranking system at all...

    I am totally lost on yahoo. One of my sites is almost two years old and JUST NOW starting to get traffic from Yahoo while msn and G have been sending atleast 1000. I dont get it. Only thing I know is Yahoo loves RSS feeds. Everytime I add an RSS feed to my page, Yahoo starts sending me traffic. I should prolly get them put on all my pages =[

    Did you include YOUR RSS-Feed in your "My Yahoo" Account?
    If you have no RSS-Feed of your site then i would recommend to integrate one....

    Since I posted my feed into "My Yahoo" their spider is getting very active on my site.
    Maybe this helps you too...
