Yahoo has decided to give me 10x top ten spots!

    Until tonight (GMT), only two of my keywords were returning my site on page #1. For some bizarre reason, Yahoo has taken a fresh cache of my newly uploaded homepage and ten of my keywords are being returned on Page #1.

    How is this possible?

    Dont ask, dont tell - just bask in the glory of it!

    Do a backup "snapshot" of the site and try to analyze the code and see what Yahoo could be using to rank you so well. Just dont mess with the live sites... too many horror stories of people changing one little thing and dropping hundreds of spots in the rankings.

    That's exactly what happened earlier this week. Got to #4 for a keyword but wasn't satisfied - wanted #1. Changed the homepage and watched in horror as it dropped to sub-500. Restored it - minus one word - and I honestly can't believe the results...

    I have an inner page in the 5th position and the page I'm trying to promote only at the 20th position.
    The inner page has only 2 back links so it is pretty annoying!

    Can someone please tell me the best way to contact Yahoo about my search results description on Cards Shoppe.

    Out of ALL the Contents on ALL my pages, Yahoo shows this for the descripton:
    ... © www.cardsshoppe.com All rights reserved. ...

    I emailed Yahoo asking for assistance, but I got the standard FORM email response. Meanwhile, this description has continued for THREE months.

    Any help is greatly appreicated.
