I have a request, beside talking about SEO news in google, can you ask give some news from Yahoo ? for example, Yahoo recently change the algo and it take more weight for the website that already ranked in Yahoo directory.
thanks
I am the supporter of Yahoo. For past few years, yahoo is losing its market share to Google, and Google is doing everything a step forward than Yahoo.
However, recently i found Yahoo is picking up. It is now more focus on “community” rather than just search result. They did a good job in the “time capsule” project, and the Yahoo Answer ! is getting popular than Google Answer and finally win the battle on this (Google Answer closed shop now !)
Wish Yahoo keep improving and get back the no.1 in Search Engine
After Yahoo change Algo, i found it is worse. the results is not accurate than before, and my ranking goes up and down in 2 months time. don’t know what happen…
thanks for the information. Is there any update recently since this is 2 months past.
yes, it is 4 months past… a lot of changes in SE industries….
The latest SEO info for google : the PR just update in January.
Yahoo also has an important update : Yahoo now may use anchor text to replace a website’s title.
Yes, this is quite an old post. Maybe I should keep it updated …
Both the PR update and the change of title in the yahoo algo is both new news.
Thanks
Yahoo algo change back to normal now… may be too many people complain…
recently google has come out an new scheme called pay-per-action… may be it will soon replace the pay per click
Yahoo search results seems not very stable afer the algo changed, i have few websites today rank top 10, then tomorrow drop to 30+ and then go back to top 20…. and i din’t change any things to the website…
My rank drop so much as if i never started. Its horrible
Seem the DMOZ directory submit is down. Can’t add anything for the past month or so. Any idea where will it be up?
Does google universal search affect SEO ? what is you opinion on it ?
Hey
Thats really great and intresting article
i was searching informations about this.. and i found your blog
Thx for this article, i will be back here often
Greetings, Search Boy
Looks like a lot of the posters here are using this page to link to the sites they are doing optimization. But now that the nofollow tag has been added it would not contribute anything to the page ranks. lolz
Yahoo had a new algo update, it getting worse…I have same experience with some of you guys. Some days my page ranking in top 10, some other days can be on 100 or 150… It really confused.
Yahoo using anchor text to replace your site title, how would that work? What if you have 1K or 2K sites referring back to you, all using a variation of anchor text? Some sites would even have bad, dumb anchors.
Hopefully that won’t happen.
I was looking for latest seo news but i got this almost 2 year old news.
Thanks for update but i think this time we have to become more conscious because now Google change algorithm for link spammer.
THX FRO SHARE SUCH A NEW AND USE FULL INFORMATION. UPDATE THIS NEWS REGULAR.
