sounds useful!

Interesting...I know that it is early in the rollout and that there will be some adjustment but I found this on the following keyword,

San Diego hotels

The 3rd result is a map page of the first site, and the #9 result is for MSN's Live dot com search page.

Keep up with the updates and lets all hope that we will get relivant results like the Canadians do.

Congrats to Team Yahoo! I'm seeing some very nice improvements to relevancy this time around. Kudos!

Thanks for the heads-up. Please keep these reports coming.

These are the best Yahoo results I have seen in a long time. Very relevant and a lot of the spam is gone. Great job!!!

Looks much better this time.

These results are leaps and bounds better than the last weather update. It appears that the value placed on having keywords in the URL has gone down (thank goodness), but is still a little too high.

I would have to say that these results are looking much better than I would have expected.

Your algo changes at Yahoo are making your search results look more and more like Google's search results and Google really sucks these days so I guess your goal is to be as bad a search engine as Google has become. The results and algo you had about 4 months ago on back were a million times better then your new ones the past few months. Hopefully either you'll listen or a new search engine will come along one of these days that understands what search is all about.

My pagerank is about the same. I do wish there was another standard for those of us who write niche blogs for small but involved audiences rather than for general audiences.

I have been studying the new results, some Spam improvement but sites with 10 or duplicate webs/pages all moved up. Our web logs show a 20%+/- decrease in traffic from Yahoo Search and Image. Not certain if this is an improvement.

good work!

I'm tired of comparisons to Google. Yahoo has constantly improved over the past 10 years, and G has just become confusings and mysterious. Not always happy with Yahoo's results but I try Y first because I know what to expect. - Search terms appearing on the target page and not the titles of pages linking to a page. Your site explorer and tools to help web professionals are unsurpassed. Seems like ASK and MSN ought to adopt a more "open source" philosophy like Yahoo has and put an end to G's unearned popularity. Keep working hard guys, many of us appreciate it.

can i ask what are the basis of Yahoo! to make the site appear at the first page? I mean do they base it on the content? on the keyword density and prominence? or on back links? I'm referring to the latest update that recently happened. thank you!

Your search results for swedish is *much* now compared to earlier. It looks very good and I will be sure to recommend your search enginee to our readers.

Google.se (swedish) on the other hand seem to have given up on quality on large amount of the search results are nothing but small spam sites running adsense.

The question is if this is a general strategi for boosting adsense profit or if Google have knowledge, quality assurance problem or problems with the algorithm?
