    Half the time when I search on Yahoo, it's returning my old homepage on page #2. When it returns my latest homepage, it's in position #3. Is there any way to remove the older version from the Yahoo cache?

    Yahoo is really slow at removing old pages. I have pages that haven't existed in 9 months that are still cached - and they spider the site every day and I am also in their directory. I've tried 301's, 410's, submitting a txt file of good urls, and written yahoo - but about half the old pages are still there. It took about six months for them to start removing the first half. I remember reading on a yahoo help page that they may never remove old pages from cache/index. Go figure.
