    You're optimistic. Why is it that all adsense sites dissapeared from the top.
    I found only one with adlinks and some adsense inside of it. I just gave it a try again and had the same results.

    If there is a human shift working on rankings sounds unbelieveable. How to cope with billions of sites? And why can't Yahoo make a statement of what they are doing. They are getting flooded with mails since days.

    Yes I have been accused of being an eternal optimist before :). I, too, have noticed that top dogs in Yahoo's index currently don't seem to be running AS. Others are disagreeing with our findings...but I'm still seeing it.

    This is not my keyphrase, but it is still the same if you go to Yahoo and search for 'automobile'...can't find one site with AS. If my suspicions are correct...I believe that is a declaration of WAR :eek:

    G vs Y...who will win? Should we remove AS from our sites now?

    Yes, Y is eeling around without coming to a point, at least they try to hide their real purpose as long as possible.
    Could be that they come up with a similar project or, - just had a shareholders meeting with lots of pressure put on them, so they went to knock on G successful strategies and are not realizing that they are victimising themselves.

    ...as someone on another threat mentioned it, "made up by pure greed".

    Watch the marketshares.
    on the left where it says 'select security' you can add YHOO and MSN then select 3 months chart and see the gap.

    that the Direcotry Listings of the WEB SEARCH were affected. Out of the top 50, only TWO (2) are Directory listings, whereas it was nearly half being directory listing.

    My organic listing was pretty high before (top 5) but fell out. At that time I had both my Directory and organic listing in the top 5 for my most competitive key phrase. I was relieved to see my Directory Listing still ranking at #2. But now, I guess I'll have to get my organic listing back up somehow. To me this is harder then getting into Google.

    If the whole adsense issue were to be true, I would imagine if a major news orginization started to run a story about this, you could quickly see Yahoo change their SERPS. It's a totally dishonest penalty to place on a site without informing anyone. Granted, it is their index, but it doesn't help the end user at all.

    The Adsense theory doesn't hold water with me. A don't run Adsense (never have) AND got the boot.

    Agree. AdSense may be another trigger, but one of the sites I saw disappear doesn't run AS and never has. Doesn't include any type of affiliate links, either. The co-op is the only common factor I can find so far.

    Remember; yahoo was coded from Inktomi. Inktomi always loved crappy sites. Maybe yahoo finds the addiction too hard to let go? :p

    maybe yahoo does a whois and if they ban 1 site they ban all your sites
    doing a whois on every site would easly tell yahoo how many anyone of us own..

    ya, it costs me an extra $10 USD per domain. The way I see it is if Yahoo wants to play games with my future then I'll play with them. If only all se's had the programming brilliance of Google then we would have to play such games.

    To date I remain completely banned from Yahoo with no reason that I can see. Although they have reindexed over 30,000 webpages, serps are completely gone :rolleyes:.

    I sold my site because it good ranks in yahoo just fropped to nowhere for every single pages. It is still indexed but what's the use if you can't get to the top keyword?

    I am still thinking of what went wrong. Maybe it's a new sandbox filter ...
