Yahoo update?

Gazelle, Ive been in and out of the yahoo listings for the past 5 days. It seems that they really tracked down the correct backlinks for everyone during this update.

 

Just "dropped out" of Yahoo myself, for ALL of the keywords I'm tracking on the DP keyword tracker...

Still returns over 29,000 pages indexed, 114,000 link and 150,000 linkdomain.

But my site is nowhere to be found in the Yahoo SERPS, even for non-competitive keywords I've had the #1 spot for the last 2-3 years..

No special changes to my site the last few weeks either.

I'm hoping this is just a temporary "glitch", so I wont start to panic yet (maybe tomorrow or monday)..

 

no significant movement on Yahoo for me.

 

Wow,

Let's hope its a temporary glitch. I ran the keyword checker yesterday and was ranking well for most of the list.

The # of indexed pages is up.

My sites that have dropped out are all in the coop. Wonder if its related?

Yep, I dropped huge in Yahoo yesterday. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come...

 

Have you made any site changes?

I'm looking for explanations other than the coop I just moved to a new dedicated host/IP 10 days ago and I'm wondering if that might related?

Fortunately I don't get a lot of traffic from Yahoo but it is disconcerting to see it happening.

 

Just using co-op. No real changes made to the pages I was tracking.

 

Exact same scenario here

tried to upload a screenshot of dp kw tracker, it looks like the other one posted

Got this error, dunno if it helps Shawn.

Basically all my terms on yahoo have gone. I'm back to seeing what I saw prior to using the coop. Not blaming the coop yet....but I've got some coop only advertising. And they've gone.

 

I've seen the same pattern for all my coop sites as well. Jumping up and down in SEPRS by huge numbers in Yahoo on a daily basis... That's why I've been switching all my sites to link-vault one-by-one. So far it seems to be working, but it takes a while to fix, as I have several thousand rotating links from coop, and link-vault takes time, the new permanent links come slowly, but steadily (which is how it should be done).

Google seems to like coop so far, but I think it's too risky and I think it's a matter of time before they drop the value of rotating link... Too bad coop guys don't care about this and don't implement any static link scripts here.

 

I lost a lot of traffic from yahoo today (nearly all). More than half of my pages dropped from top rankings.

Could be that they have some problems with their servers and that everthing is going back to normal again.

For the last three days the mailservers didn't function properly. I couldn't login for three days. Today I can login, but lost my good ranking for most of the pages.
As for the last 6 hours no traffic from Yahoo at all.

 

There are some changes going on, not an update I think. Before I was listed at the directory and now I'm out of there.
