How’s Your Site Doing in Yahoo?
Last week Yahoo! announced that they have been making changes on their indexing and ranking algorithms warning everyone to keep a close eye on the effects on their own site’s rankings. It’s been more than a week and I wonder if you have noticed any changes in your site’s ranking in Yahoo. I realised that I haven’t checked with Gary how we’ve been doing.
A reminder to everyone: Though Google is great do not be overly focused on Google and neglect your status in the other major search engines (Yahoo!, Ask, and MSN Search). The traffic from these three are still considerable and traffic is still traffic.
Note too that if you have a client with paid directories or if you submit to paid directories don’t forget on these directories’ status with Google because there have been reports of manual penalisation of paid directories around September last year. I wonder what this year holds in terms of search engines weeding out sites that they deem are not that desirable.
Popularity: 37%









I agree with you.. We shouldn’t just focus on Google. Ranking on major search engines would be great than just on Google… As for the changes, I didn’t see any changes on my site with regards to the rankings, but as for the indexed and backlinks, I guess a little changes occur…
Nice article Sir…
[...] Yahoo’s at it again. Just a few days ago they announced that they’re implementing changes to their crawling, indexing and ranking algorithms so don’t be surprised if you see some changes in your Yahoo results rank. Hopefully the changes will be good for us. ^_^ [...]
Its true that most people forget about other search engines like yahoo, msn etc. Its google that always strike first but important that we really dont miss up with others.
Great Post
Yeah I wish I took your advice… I can’t ever seem to care about Yahoo and MSN. I’ve known that traffic is traffic but for some reason I don’t track MSN and Yahoo rankings and couldn’t tell you if my rankings have improved (without looking at the stats from analytics).
My site is good. I believe yahoo is the most used search engine and often used as default page compared to others because of being general.
