Has anyone else experienced Yahoo giving different result sets to different people (kind of like you would expect on various google datacenters)? There is one high traffic keyword in particular where for over 2 weeks now, I will see a huge burst in traffic from yahoo, all comming from keyword search for "widget". When I do a "widget" search on Yahoo, I see my result on like the 3rd page. Then suddenly traffic will slow after several hours, and when I do a search during slow traffic times... I'm the number 1 result. Its like if Yahoo had 2 data centers, one of which served 90% of searches and the other 10% of searches... I'm in the 10% group. So when I'm seeing good results, the rest of the world isn't, and vice versa. Never relly had to check serps and be happy when I'm low, and be upset when I am high. Makes it kind of frustrating. I'm in the US as is 90% of my traffic, but still my results are completely different than those for most others.
