My sites been up for like 3 months and its been indexed by google. Ireally havent done anything as I am trying to learn this whole SEO thing. Anyway i decided to start submitting to directories, maybe 4 or 5 accepted me. Yahoo all of a sudden started to show up in my logs like 3 times a day and I realized my site started showing up in yahoo (it did not exist there before). I was ranking #1 for a key term and I was like wow I think i figured this out. I go to check yahoo and my website does not exist anymore..... whats goign on, should i be alarmed ?
I tried submitting to lots of directories and still have not recieved much in the way of referral from Yahoo. I think that there is more to it than just links as most people seem to tell us non-yahoo serp winners
