Yahoo Reindexing?

Hi,

My site, was somehow added to the Yahoo index while URLs had query parameters in them. Hence, it only indexed the main page, but nothing else. Then, I changed my site to remove these query parameters, and specify them as folders using apache rewrite. So, my URLS look like:

/content/blogcategory/74/54/

When do you thin Yahoo will update this change? The weird thing is that when I search something about my site, I see two urls: main page and another page with query parameters. But, when I go to the page cached but yahoo, none of the URLS there are in query parameter format, but rather folder format that I explained above.

Am I doing something wrong here, or does it take Yahoo too long to update their index?

Thanks...

 

If I remember correctly, Yahoo! reindexed a couple of weeks ago. It seems that they reindex more foten than Google these days (there bot is slower but their search results change faster) but I wouldn't expect them to do it more than once a month.

 

Actually it takes forever for yahoo to update.. things like titles and such that i have changed weeks ago, still show up on yahoo. whereas google updates it within a matter of days

 

I agree with pstatus. For me, Yahoo is slooooooow. Google can index or update pages within days, whereas Yahoo takes months. Maybe it's not so noticeable on smaller sites, but when there's a lot of pages, Slurp just seems to give up after the home page.

 

Google and Yahoo are slow in updating the change, though google is better among the two. But i am really impressed with the new MSN search. They update the change quicker from my experiece. What do others think of this?

 

I Really have to agree with cobra, from what I have seen with my own site I get M$N updates very fast where Google and Yahoo lack on the updates sometime more than a month or two behind M$N.

 

I've seen it with my directory (well sort of). www.jtrotta.com has been around for a year or so but all the subpages are two weeks old at the most.

Google = 659
Yahoo! = 31
MSN = 24

But when I do a site command for www.pxgo.com a site only a few months old, I get

Google = 167
Yahoo! = 0
MSN = 1,177

 

Yeah, I agree... MSN search results update much faster than Yahoo's. I have noticed that Yahoo haven't updated titles and descriptions for more than a month...

 

Especiallt with new sites. Google has some old favorites (like my directory) which it is very fast to pick up changes on. on www.eslgo.net after I make a change the cache in Google is updated withing 2 days. One of my new sites isn't even indexed...
