Very strange results from Yahoo - Help?

Discussion in 'Yahoo' started by joeychgo, Jun 30, 2005.

    I have a site - www.automotivedonations.com

    I recently moved to a dedicated server. Almost immediately, it dropped out of the yahoo listings when it was top ten for a long time. That didnt worry me, I figured the rankings would come back.

    I happened to check to see what yahoo had indexed and the results were strange. Yahoo


    Look at the URLS --

    www.automotivedonations.com/?c=NTU=
    www.automotivedonations.com/?c=Mg==
    www.automotivedonations.com/?c=Mzk=

    the ?c=Mzk= part doesnt make sense. No pages have that -

    Google doesnt show any of that as you can see here --- Nor does MSN


    Anyone have any ideas on this??????

    My site has same problem too..

    the URL got indexed at yahoo with this: "http://www.psychicguild.com/http://www.psychicguild.com/psychic_reading.php"

    Yahoo Search

    The site has custom 404 page... which uses 302 redirect..

    I think yours is more about the 302 being screwy

    I have seen that in a couple of instances, but to be honest, I never paid it much attention as there are too many other things on my plate. :) Personally, I would not worry about it too much since G and MSN have not found those URLs. Slurp always comes asking for some screwy URLS on most of my sites. I always figured they came from scraper sites. Who knows.
