Hello Friends,

I have been monitoring Yahoo, MSN and saw there is no update at all since three months all the results and SERP are almost same. Even Yahoo is not indexing latest pages, have any one observed this?

I have been seeing one of my client site who stayed on 33rd position and still it reamins the same. And the other client site has not been indexed yet?

If this is the scenario how can we inform our client? What shall we say them? Now all Search Engine should come up the news letter to tell whethere there is any update or not in their database.

Any useful guide for me?

Regards

Yes, yahoo does not appear to be adding new pages at all from what I can see. My personal suspicion is that unlike Google, where everybody panics at the sight of the sandbox, since Google traffic is so important, people simply don't care about Yahoo, probably because they correctly believe that nothing you do will really matter with Yahoo, it's just a low end algo running on low end systems with low end priorities driving the whole thing.

Failure to add new pages, failure to properly take care of 301's, etc, all point to a dismally poorly done search engine, probably suffering the same issues that Google currently is, my guess is a capacity problem, but unlike Google, noone cares enough to even think about it at all.

Add to this recent messups where yahoo apparently broke their whole system and reverted to an older database for a few days, all point to a system that is so non-functional it's hardly worth paying attention to, if it works for you, great, otherwise there's not much you can do, they won't fix it, even though their representatives last year said 'we are hard at work at fixing the 301 problem'.... ha ha ha, still broken.

Yahoo! has just recently removed all the subdomain pages on one of my sites, and finally picked up more than just the first page of the main domain, so I'm getting excellent results from that. On another site, still banned for not continuing with paid inclusion from last year. They've added the home page, but from their directory description. A search by company name, even though that's the title of the link they provide, produces dead last results.
It appears as though they are moving things around and getting things in order, but mostly with old pages. Although, I'd guess a brand new site would be added, just not new pages on an old site.

Yahoo has just had a major update, serps are quite different, errors have been fixed, 301 is fixed from what I can see, and people say. Nice to see finally, that company was starting to worry me. Now to see if they can fix what looks like their own version of the capacity problem Google seems to have been dealing with, not very well either.
