I like Yahoo and Google and I am using this great search engine from last 4 years. In the mean time i have seen so many improvement in this search engine to show the relevant results to its users. But this time i am disappointed when i searched for the keyword “unsecured loans” in finance industry. Its totally altogether changed. The old sites that are coming on top 10 position is now not present in top 50.

My favorite part of reading through all of these comments is how critical people are of the update, followed by, “My site dropped!”.

It’s like “Man your update sucks because my listing dropped”. There are few that have good info about spammy listings, but it’s just funny to me.

If I’m a Yahoo search dude, I’m skimming through comments for constructive feedback and I’m reading one that says “horrible update compared to others and guess what, MSN and Google are going to be better than you….and by the way, why is my listing dropping!” I quickly mark that one down as humor and move to the next one.

I know it’s no fun to drop, but ever time a new update happens, there is the “flux period” where spammy sites get through and it takes some time to settle. Think of an update like shaking one of those snow glass things…you know the one’s that you shake and it makes it look like it’s snowing in the water? Then once it all settles, things are back to normal.

Apparently, Yahoo enhances its search results by NSDL Scout Report: instead of official title and description of a site, your SERP shows title chosen by Scout and the first few sentences of Scout’s description. These creates misleading site’s descriptions in SERP since the beginning of Scout’s review may not provide objective summary of a site. I feel using Scout lowers the value of your search results.
If I could suggest, drop using Scout report and use something objective such as ODP.

In answer to your post Lee, I currently work for an agency so the sites I seo are wide and varied, my own personal site is updated very frequently I seriously doubt you could call it “spammy” and I certainly don’t have the cash to pay for inclusion and actually we rank high for some pretty competitive terms not just on Yahoo on MSN and Google too, I don’t think saying you’re just going to “ignore a search engine” as big as Yahoo is sound advice to anyone … as I said wake up smell the coffee and work harder to understand what Yahoo is asking from your site to rank higher

no.30 and no. 32 in the search term of “las vegas free shows” is pure spam, plain and simple, IMO. There is nothing free mentioned relevant to shows or anything, only the word free, over and over, often side by side! not to mention the line at the bottom of the pages: “Common Misspellings Los Vegas Las Vagas Las Vages Las Veges Vagus Vegus LasVegas LosVegas Veagas Veagus Vegis Vagis” If that is not spam, I don’t think there is a definition.
Is this what it takes to rank in yahoo now? I am considering blocking your web bots, I want to be in an engine that has at least some sense of relevancy, yahoo has become a disaster, and just gets worse.
Oh, forgot to mention that this is a big advertiser for you, so any thing goes, right? This is the tip of the iceberg of the problems with this company (the spammer, IMO), everything from same content on many sites, no these are all from the same company, just different domains, not affiliates, but they use it also, to shameless misrepresentation in the Affiliate Program, again, IMO ( enter “Common Misspellings Los Vegas Las Vagas Las Vages Las Veges Vagus Vegus LasVegas LosVegas Veagas Veagus Vegis Vagis ” (drop the “” ) in google (doesn’t give the main company in yahoo, only a few affiliates, to find the spam (IMO). In yahoo drop the “common misspellings” part, but you still don’t see the top-dog.
You allow a big advertiser to create thousands of pages, many, many distinct sites, (they even lable some as an affiliate site, but do a whois search and, you guessed it, same contact info.) let them slide on the spam rules, and this is just wrong!
