I really appreciate these updates because I noticed that one of the websites that I manage has been acting rather weird with huge swings in traffic. I think this explains it. I am hoping that with the update over, the results will be more stable.

Hi Verma! We met @ ses earlier...I've heard and seen several sites losing a majority of their rankings in Yahoo last month. Is this a result of the Aug update? If someone feels that their rankings have been removed in error (i.e. they own an authority/quality site that previously ranked well)what do you suggest they do? I'm tempted to sit tight and see how it all plays out with this new update...is there a possibility that some of those who suffered heavy ranking losses for no immediately obvious reason could get them back from this update?

Thanks so much for clarifying this!

Yahoo Search Index is always so quick and remarkably effective. My newly updated site also got indexed so quick...

The results seem to get worse each update, and explanation?

Thank you for keeping yahoo users up to date, I have noticed some strange fluctuations on my rankings the last 2 days lets hope this update gets completed really soon

Thanks for these updates. The users will get more relevant sites for their search terms.

Worst update, all my friends have lost their ranking on their targeted keywords, duplicate site comes up first than the original site.

I wish I better understood how these changes will affect my site so I could make adjustments as needed to improve my placement.

As stated by Java Tutor, "The results seem to get worse each update, and explanation?" 5 months running...

1. I note that the more we expand the less relevant we become, should we be opening a new web for every product or service we sell ?

2. I see no improvements on spam, so here is a suggestion... take every web site on page one of your web results who have never placed adds on Yahoo and put then back 10 pages and watch your adverting base increase.

3. Forget natural listings, have paid listings manage the top 10 or 20 spots, followed by natural listings.

PS we may reconsider or current advertizing stance.

This is a very good update indeed
The results are far better than previously
Congrats Yahoo! Good job!

This is awesome update.I look forward for more updates for algorithm and ranking improvements. This update is really a good news for yahoo users. Keep going :)

Thanks for the Update in this Blog. But I still see a lot of old URLs showing up for my sites www.silicon.de and www.zdnet.de that should be killed for a while due to 301 redirects to the new urls. Kind regards Thomas
