The new results index sucks!
All of my sites that ranked amongst Top 5 for various phrases are now not even in first 50 even and so many stupid pages have been included in the results instead of real sites. What’s up, guys? Whatever happened to the relevancy factor???

I am looking for the amount of rainfall that occured in the month of March, April, and May of 2006 for the area of Mequon, Wisconsin, 53092. I would appreciate if you would either e-mail this information or direct me to the site where I would find it. Thank you.

Sincerely,

John Lawrence

Anyone know where I can call or signup to serve yahoo search results at our search portal? We generate over 100,000 clicks a month to our website.

I think the “top ten” for the cash advance above are ALL lead gen sites.

Still having trouble with my rankings since the Yahoo update, my site has lost rankings on all high volume keywords, we went from #3 to #65 or don’t appear at all. Is everyone else still experiencing drops due to the update. Will these rankings return back to normal any time soon?

As people have noted earlier, the feedback address was bouncing emails the last few days, but that has been fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

And thanks for pointing this out.

My site http://www.wizardofozcostumes.com dropped from #1 to #8. I had been at #1 for over a few months for the term “wizard of oz costumes” not sure what happened.

Also, the #1, and #3 results are from http://www.cebunet.com/cristees who has hidden text at the bottom of the page that is the same color as the background.

Not sure what to do.

Sarah,
“As advertised on the blog, I emailed ystfeedback at yahoo.com regarding the new Index only to get a bounce-back saying that that email address was retired”

I thought it was just me! On the other hand, do they even read the feedback? Not according to my experience.
