---- Site Dropped From Yahoo

The only reason my site could possibly have for an editorial decision against it (linked domains, but it's not very heavy linking), would also take out every other site which is still there for my search terms, so that seems a bit unlikely.

I tried a slightly different search - my business type in my area - and the first 30 results are links to my site from various places, followed by my competitors' sites. So Yahoo seems to've buried my site but is furiously trying to drive all the searchers to it at the same time...?

By a strange co-incidence (?) the sites which I've recently had buried by Google are at #1 in Yahoo, while my main site which Google loves to bits at the moment has been buried by Yahoo.

Ho hum.

>1. Slurp is an incompetent crawler and INK/Yahoo may simply be "losing" these sites

I think it's choked and given itself indigestion on my inbound links and got no appetite left for the site itself.
