Same problem here. 6 year old site. Current content. 2,000 pages. Listed as Yahoo directory. Home page isnt even indexed anymore. Though wierd thing, one small internal page of the site is.

Yeah haven't a clue why people are saying this new yahoo search is great, looks pretty amateur compared to google to me. If they start charging for submission as well, they haven't a chance.

because their sites are indexed :)
At this point I wouldn't mind paying to have my site indexed. Not at $20 a page though. I'm afraid that if I pay for the main link, even if they planned on visiting it to index everything for free, they'll stop to the main page. >Yeah haven't a clue why people are saying this new

I paid to be in Inktomi and for my site it has made no difference..... it no longer is indexed in Y! results. Now that Y has changed, Inktomi resellers are using the fact that sites have dropped out of the index as an opportunity to increase sales....though.... from my experience it makes no difference whether you have paid Inktomi or not. Paying to be in Inktomi is no guarantee that you will show up in Yahoo search results. In anticipation of the Y change, I was ready to fork over another $3,000 a month to have the entire site submitted and am thankful I didnt.

Our SERP's are great in Google (mostly in the top 3) and even good in MSN (top 10) but in Yahoo we are hard to find. Just shaking our heads. Seeing all kinds of odd results. Not sure what everyone else sees. Looks like you need keywords in your url to rank well.

Our 1,000 page site has also gone from Yahoo after many years of being listed. It has many top 10 rankings in Google and is a content rich site with no spam. All I see in my sector in Yahoo is lots of poor spammy sites. It makes you think that they want to charge the good sites for inclusion. I am not impressed at all with their search results.

The start of this thread was an opportunity to discuss reasons we might not be included/ranked well in the new Yahoo results. The last 5 or 6 posts have just been about how terrible the results are, that's a different subject, go to the 'Yahoo Sucks' Forum instead. I have 300 out of 15,000 pages in the Inktomi index. Google have 12,000 of them, Altavista has around 900 and Alltheweb has around 700. Therefore I conclude that it has nothing to do with my site being badly mapped. I checked the sites that linked to mine to see if they were in Yahoo and thus should encourage regular crawls from Slurp and they were, in fact Slurp hits me around 5000 times a month. The only thing I can think of is that two of my site 'used to be' Paid Inclusion with PositionTech. They haven't been paid inclusion for around 10 months. The 300 pages that Inktomi has indexed are various pages from my other sites, no pages have been indexed from the two sites that used to be on Paid Inclusion. I would like to know if anyone else whose site is indexed has ever used Paid Inclusion into the Inktomi Index?

We used Position Tech to index our home page 6 months ago. We had little success in the SURPs. 1 month ago we tried using Position Tech to index 20 subcategory pages. This worked great. Once we did, many more of our 4000 pages where indexed. Our SURPs on MSN are doing very well. Yahoo is another story, not good. It's a bit frustrating considering MSN and Yahoo are supposedly using a very similar search engine.

I was a customer of Position Tech's about 2 years ago. Perhaps there is something to this.

Boomer770 - does that mean that one month ago you paid for inclusion of 20 pages of your site and within the past four weeks around 4000 pages have been added to the Inktomi/MSN/Yahoo index?

In fact has anyone had an experience where they submitted several URLs through PositionTech and ended up with 100's of there other pages being indexed from free. Like I said before, the sites where I paid for pages, none of the other pages have ever been indexed.
