ome of my sites changed their ranking in Yahoo - they are lower now. I am looking forward to understand why.

Hoping for good results.

I still see too much in the way of doorway content a la blogspot, spaces, etc for me as a consumer. That, and the hand-editting of really high traffic SERPs is getting old.

Also, for really competitive industries I'm seeing formerly banned/demoted sites from G now ranking in Y -- like a 6 month lag. That is intriguing, and could create a cottage industry of people trying to buy burned sites as they are dropped, attempting to re-capitalize in Y/M.

It happened to our sites CitiKeys.com & Wines.mobi

For no reason they were dropped by Google for more than a year.
Yahoo picked them up on its own.
And now these sites riding a new wave!

Exact match domain names, anchor text, domain authority... - Sounds like Google.

I didn't see much change. Especially when one of the domains I'm analyzing has the exact keyword for as search result.

The handful of checks I've done show that the results are even less relevant. Way more spam sites showing. You'd think they'd test these changes out a bit before making such dramatic changes. I'm surprised they haven't taken any corrective action, it's been almost a week.

I am rather confused Google brings me 95 % of my babes search traffic, yahoo less than 3% of total search engine hits. My serach tems dont show up in yahoo serach results though my web page is present if I search on the URL. Does anyone know a good link URL where I can try gain a further insight please into the differences ?

Thanks in advance,

Yana
