First let me say hello i've been reading your forms for a while now and since you guys know more of seo than me i was thinking if you can help me out. Yahoo has dropped all of my 400 serps from it's index about a month ago now. Only the index page is indexed and is also getting spidered everyday. I reall dunno what i did. Maybe because i got pr0 to pr4 in about 1-2 months? Did anbody have a similar problem? How can i "fix this"? Thanks
Hi Mobile, Welcome to DP. Your drop has nothing to do with how quickly you got to PR4, unless you got there doing something that Yahoo doesn´t like. No-one can tell you what that might be or how to fix it unless you give your url.
You could try contacting Yahoo and asking if there is something that is causing your site to have the drop you have seen.
Good luck with contacting them! My experience with them was rather pleasant - they resolved a problem that had arised after a couple of e-mails.
i just dropped from #12 to #267 overnight. I've done nothing different over the past few weeks. This just came after going from #56 to #12 a week ago...
I'm using a mamboserver.com script with the SEF Advance. I was adding content daily, 1 or 2 pages with keywords of good density. And i was trading links, since i made a good header and the design for it it was very easy to get links with people so i made a lot of link exchanges with sites. There can be couple of reasons thoughs that this site defers from other sites i have and didn't get penalized. Meta Desc...I didn't write it since i heard it doesn't do much so mambo used the one from the main page. Backlinks as i said pr0 to 4 in about a month( i had about 100+ backlinks) also i use categorized directory. Maybe i linked to a banned site or something, i have no ideas. I had to change the script couple of times so i wouldn have those titles like "Sitename - Content title" So i just have "content title" now. This change affected all my subpages though. This is about it, i don't know which of these could have made this but i really want to get back on yahoo. What's their contact anyway? And how should i go with writing a email ot them? Thanks
I dont know if this is quite right (I am new to mambo) but I read somewhere that the global meta is bad for serps. Make sure you put individulal metatags for each page. Not 100% on that but if I can find where I read it Ill post it. What is the url of your site ? members might find it easier to find the problem for you.
Hi, how did you guys contact yahoo? I've been searching around on their site and Help area and cant find a single phone/email for contact. Thanks, Goose
