I hear your pain. In my early days I got a DMOZ entry on the non-www for my home page URL. Once I put a 301 in Google figured it out very quickly. Yahoo took its time but eventually indexed my site correctly. I think you can rest assured that your sites will recover and be better off than before. Good luck with that.

Very interesting We "perm redirected" all our sites to address the G canonical problem in last 10 days and since then our sites are dropping out of yahoo from page 1 positions. If as you say it takes a month or so I will have to just sit it out but it is a very worrying time.

Update: The 2nd site has just been deep crawled today. We'll see when it's back up on Yahoo. aimerlamer, d'accord. When the sites were built I had a junior create the first links to them and I was too lazy to note the "www." was missing.
Lesson: The first links are worth proofing in detail.

Agent10 Ive found Yahoo is pretty stupid (deliberately). If you cannot wait and find your site will not be indexed properly in Yahoo. There is a solution. They have a program, which I feel undermines their credibility as a search engine, called Yahoo Search Submit. The program works so basically you pay to have your site indexed properly and then have to pay per click for clicks you receive from the organic search results. My strategy is to stop paying per click as soon as I have had my site indexed. If your content isnt always changing you won't really need the fresh crawling that comes while you have credits in your PPC account. Sadly, this can be a relatively cheap and easy way to get yourself back in the Yahoo index properly.
