Ok, this might just be a really sick coincidence but I have 4 sites which were all indexed in Google Yahoo and MSN. About a month ago I added link vault code to two of those sites and now both of them are completely deindexed in MSN - maybe just one or two pages left - while still being indexed in Yahoo and Google. I don't know but seems kind of like a likely reason because all those sites have been in MSN and ranking for months and suddenly get deindexed after link vault. Now this only applies to sites that display the links, the other two sites only get vaultage pointed at them and they are fine. Anyone else notice something similar?
ditto - link vault seems to have no effect on ranking in Yahoo!, minimal in Google and excellent in MSN. That is my experience.
I don't do anything with LV but I have noticed on occasion the MSN dumps all my links and re-index's them. So maybe that is what happened.
I think this is also true, I have been completely de-indexed and then re-indexed for my LV and Non-LV sites a few times by MSN. My opinion is that my LV sites seem to do better in Yahoo, more than MSN or Google.
im planning to use LV on one of my sites in the hopes i get high vlotage and then i can rank better with it
No problems, but I highly recomend you turn the tap on slowly and mix in at the very least equal portions from outside Link Vault.
