Hey guys.. how many of you have used yahoo pipes in their seo strategy? Does it affects in the results of Yahoo SERPS? If someone has used it before what were the results that you noticed on serps.. I wana learn more about Yahoo pipes in regarding SEO aspects, if its giving out something valuable.
Yahoo pipes are excellent way to get more targeted content and feed your site with automatically scraped content. From SEO point of view, this means that you will get a lot of relevant content, but it won't be original and therefore will not be as effective as using fresh one. From your question I would say that you would like to know a definitive answer, which is that Yahoo Pipes have minimal impact on your site's serp position.
Yahoo Pipes contains lots of ready-made objects for easy filtration of data however as what many people said, we actually encounter single problem with Yahoo Pipes. Others, who had tried says that it is unreliable. Running the pipes fail frequently even when there is no problem in in getting output in edit mode (debugging window). The problem compounds when you are using one pipe within another. I am not exactly sure what is going wrong but my guess is that Yahoo Pipes has problems handling large amount of feed items.
I use pipes to run a couple of twitter accounts. It was just an experiment, but seems to have worked quite nicely.
I had tried Yahoo pipes out and do not satisfied with the results. It may help you driven traffics but not works in all markets, some specific may work but not for the market I am promoting.
Yes I do agrees with you, sometimes it gives out the results which you dont expects it much on it, but i would rather says you need to stop filtering your results as much, the errors comes when you use alot more filters on feeds.. I too have faced in the beginning but when i tried multiple times it showed me the right ways as i was needing it.
Yahoo! Pipes is a web application from Yahoo! that provides a graphical user interface for building data mashups that aggregate web feeds, web pages, and other services, creating Web-based apps from various sources, and publishing those apps. The application works by enabling users to "pipe" information from different sources and then set up rules for how that content should be modified (for example, filtering).
Hello mate .i don't understand. what is yahoo pipes.i just hear new this word "yahoo pipes".can any one shed their knowledge about it?
I used pipes to aggregate feeds. It works ok. My main problem is trying to learn how to use REGEX. It's a pain. There are tutorials on the web, but you need to concentrate on each one. REGEX or Regular Expressions are a great way to take certain items out of the feeds and combine them in a certain format for your new aggregated feed. Once you figure it out, you get some pretty cool new feeds you can use on your side bar of your blogs. It gets the interest of new readers that frequent your blogs.
