Yahoo returning backwards results

    For the last week or so, some results are showing like this:

    120-83-3

    or 83-3

    or 3-83

    Is this a bug with the yahoo api? The number rankings seem to be correct, it's just that when it shows 83-3 it makes it look like I have dropped 80 and makes my chart look like jagged spikes. Up until a week ago, it has always shown the highest ranking first.

    hmm I have no idea, but you might check out the Yahoo FAQs for results and see if you can find an explanation! Good Luck!

    Shawn, anyone, solution? My #3 ranking on yahoo is consistent, but is almost never shown first - the second ranking (which is much lower and has wild swings) always shows first. Why would the keyword tracker show the #100 position before the #3?

    Not really sure, I've never seen it happen on my end... So hard to say for sure.
