People who complain that a search engine is “broken” amuse me. Is it that the engine is broken, or you just can’t figure out a way to game the engine to get to the top?

Only a poor musician blames the intrument.

This update was complete cr*p. I am seeing more doorways replacing real websites. It’s on the message boards everywhere. I guess there’s a quality threshhold filter in place where if a site gets above a certain quality value then it gets booted.

A search for no fax payday loans gets the following two urls in the number 2 and 3 spots:

payday-loans.nw-fbody.org
payday-loans.campfirega.org

Look at the cache and then click on the link. Obviously a doorway to an affiliate. Also look at the descriptions that are given out by Yahoo. What cr*p. I am seeing this not only in this sector but in all sectors.

Killed hotel serps from the horror movie I just saw listed.Almost looks deliberate having trashed every relevant hotel site in the serps for major cities in the world. And what it has been replaced by? Absolute C****

I do not want to be cynical but is this aimed at revenues?

Hello,

I think that Yahoo’s search engine has grown enormously, congratulations guys, the indexing seems to work perfectly.

one little observation though, I used the ‘»’ character in my title tag. But the search engine seems to show it incorrectly in the search results.

in spanish, we use characters such as á &bacute;, etc etc… but the search engine doesn’t show them properly on the results.

Congratulations!

Yahoo, I luv ya, but various Yellowpages, Superpages, addresses.com (16.7 Million), and other machine-generated template pages typically using Sub-domains are running rampant in your index. Most of them built for Google Adsense ads. These mega sites seem to take one or two words from every category of human interest or activity and combine it with every town and city in every state and make a useless “directory” page. This templated spam just keeps growing and now seems firmly embedded in your index. :(

Thanks for the update. I was wondering why my traffic went through the roof yesterday. Now I know.
