I agree, many search engines seem to be filling their pages with click ads and have neglected natural results.

I have found that listings in the search engines have been declining as it relates to quality content.

Any comments on the search results, after the update this month, seems like it’s out of sync.

For the past two weeks my site has been losing more and more pages from the index.

When I do a site: command on Yahoo it shows all of my pages just fine, but slowly one-by-one each page is displaying a blank empty cache – what is going on?

I checked my robots.txt and everything looks fine and Google is caching my pages just fine.

Is this a penalty?

In the recent update, nearly all local Yahoo’s result become worse. When I use a local Yahoo such as Yahoo Hong Kong, I expect the default result will show Hong Kong website on top. However, many keywords only return website from Taiwan, China, USA. It makes the search engine less attractive. e.g. when I want to search for a doctor clinic but you provides result in Taiwan and USA, is it useful to me? Another example is when I try to find “credit card”, but most top 10 results are website from USA, UK, Canada, is it useful to me (I am living in Hong Kong and I don’t think I can apply a USA credit card).

Not impressed..no spam, clean html, major keyword page 14, its obvious Slurp does not like my web?

Slurp uses up our bandwidth, costing us money. I would like to remove our web site from Yahoo, will this work?
