How exactly does one know if one is penalized by Yahoo? What is the specific method Yahoo uses to tell if one is penalized? My reseller Positiontech (who claim to be experts) say if you feel you are penalized ask Yahoo. How do I know it's not related to some horrendous bugs in Inktomi and Yahoo? Since my site has never been penalized by anybody and previuosly listed by Yahoo under the same guidelines what am I doing and everybody else doing that's so bad. With the amount of complaints Yahoo should have seen something that is a "red flag" causing all these problems.

There has been some excellent advice by webmasters but it's still pretty much a shaky guess if Yahoo is penalizing sites or not. Is it possible Yahoo has instituted a considerable amount of harshness that renders many sites permanently unusable in either Google or Yahoo. Somethings going on that doesn't make total sense.

Inquiring minds want to know.
