Latest yahoo Update - Still going?

Was just enquiring if anyones rankings in Yahoo are fluctuating , I will no doubt receive negative feedback , but i dn't care as long as some knowledgable person gives an insight, or comments on ranking changes in their kws.

Is there a yahoo kw checker - not mcdar - cos only will work with google.

all of a sudden one of my sites came out of something like a "sandbox" today. it had been live for 3 months, and today is the first time atleast part of the site was indexed. ... Finally....

 

My rankings are all over the place, changing every couple of days. The cached version of my pages seems to keep reverting back to ones from a few weeks ago which seems to have a -ve impact on results

 

you can use http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/ to check Y! rankings

 

cheers guys good to see its not an isolated case.

Thanks ben

 

No significant changes for any of our sites.

 

No mention on Yahoo's search blog that the update is ongoing:

Maybe its just playing games with me. I swear they lull me into a false sense of security that my good rankings are going to stay, before having a good old giggle and reverting back to old caches and old results

 

I have seen my deep index page count go up dramatically recently - but I suspect I am in a "hand edited" category - so its difficult to tell who is moving where.

 

I'm all over the place as well, I rank #50 for something then the next day I don't rank at all.

 

IAnyone else notice that Yahoo is trying to become more and more like Google. They have a new sandbox for new urls (though not as long...seems like around 3 months) and with this new update seems like they are giving much more weight to sites with plenty of backlinks (although quality of links doesn't seem to be as important)

 

I don't agree with that for my keywords, although it does look like quality is less of a factor with them at the moment

 

a few months ago

I have a few new site that i cranked with recips like around 1500 each

they appeared in the top 100 to top 10 yahoo search like a couple weeks

Then they disappeared, and are still Missing

Also a like 4 or 5 months ago a bunch of my sites that I cranked with like 15000 or coop weight were all removed from yahoo

So to test it out, I busted out a couple new sites and switched the weight over to them

They immediatly climbed to the top in yahoo and then disappear very shortly after.

One I took all the weight off and forgot about, another I left the weight on , like 10 - 15 thousand

they both have appeared in this update, not top 10 but like around top 20 for very competitive terms

Hopefully the site I cranked with just recips will come back in few months too

 

Yahoo still does not have a sandbox. They still run at sloth speed. They seem to place alot of weight on inbound links. However links are not all that matters. Unfortunately if I was to tell you what the other things are I would have to have you erased.

 

I have seen a few of my pages ranking again in the last couple of days..

 

Same here. I was doing nicely until they reverted to a cache from 2 versions back and 6 weeks ago. I hope they are using old results on the SERPs while tweaking their update offline. They are certainly taking their time to complete the update.

 

Two of my sites magically came back in SERP again today (within the last few hours). It was totally gone from the SERP the last 3-4 month.

Now I'm back!! I hope it stays this time?!

 

Wel Saturday morning appears my site is climbing the yahoo engine ,reappeared for a few keywords higher, others no where to be seen, but overall positive , thanks 4 the respect

 

Update results are still looking very nice from my computer screen.

 

Yahoo results right now are absolutely lovely for our terms. Top 10 for very, very competitive phrases. I hope it $tay$ there for a while.
