Yahoo replacing title and not showing descriptions

Discussion in 'Yahoo' started by pablodauria, Aug 21, 2008.

    I have a site that I think has been penalized by Yahoo. It shows up in the search results, but with a lower case title, different from the one I have in the title tag, and probably taken from the anchor text of other sites pointing to my site.

    Furthermore, there is no description in the search engine listing and no "cache button".

    I've found this blog post: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/007268.html, that states that this problem was fixed long time ago. But my site has this problem nowadays.

    Does anybody knows if this is a penalization and how to fix this?

    I've had a similar problem. They sometimes take the title from your Yahoo directory listing. I'm not sure how to fix it though :(
    I'll watch this thread to see if anyone knows.

    Would you be so kind as to give us the URL of the Yahoo SERP to see and make suggestions

    if they are fetching title from yahoo directory, you use no-directory tags in your site to fix it.
