    Hello there
    I used to be 1st on Yahoo! for Loadmove.com for the keyword, now they banned my site - what to do this is really frustrating, any SEO gurus that can help? what am I doing wrong? I've tweaked the site in every way I could - have a look please let me know if there is anything else that should be changed to get back on Yahoo SERP.

    The forum has it's own URL: truckstoptalk.com

    however the site loadmove.com is indexed but lost all SERPs :(

    Hello there

    Well here is the problem in my opinion.

    I'm using addon domains: loadmove.com/forums is truckstoptalk.com
    I want each section to have its own domain. but I don't want to use different hosting plans for it - maybe this is the problem.

    or maybe there is excessive keyword repetition of the word trucking?

    or maybe its:

    Excessively cross-linking sites to inflate a site's apparent popularity

    ?



    let me know what to do!!!

    Thank you so much.

    Here is an email i got from them:


    Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Search.

    It has been determined that your site may not comply with Yahoo!'s
    Content Policy Guidelines located at:

    http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysear...letions-05.html

    Below are some answers to common questions regarding this issue:

    Q: What are some of the common reasons that a site may violate Yahoo!'s
    Content Policy Guidelines?

    A: Yahoo!'s Content Policy Guidelines (link above) outline what we are
    and are not looking for in pages that we index. Listed below are some of the more common reasons that a site may violate these guidelines:

    - Cloaking (showing crawlers deceptive content about a site)
    - Massive domain interlinking- Use of affiliate programs without the
    addition of substantial unique content
    - Use of reciprocal link programs (aka "link farms")
    - Hidden text
    - Excessive keyword repetition

    Q: If my site has a judgment against it, can I use the SiteMatch
    inclusion program?

    A: All pages submitted to SiteMatch are editorially reviewed. If a site
    has a judgment against it, it is likely to be rejected by the SiteMatch

    this is the canned response that everybody gets from Yahoo when you write them.

    Are you using any type of automatic link exchanges like Co-op or Linkvault? There are reports of sites banned from people using these sites.

    Sorry if I am bringing coals to Newcastle, but maybe Yahoo
    discovered that you had no unique content?
