---- Yahoo's definition of a problem site

Well, I finally heard back from Yahoo.

My site doesn't conform to content guidelines, etc.

Meanwhile, we're in the top search results now that we paid for SiteMatch.

Interesting. We had been banished to virtual nonexistence due to an undescribed penalty so that their search results will remain pure and honest, but once we forked over the requisite fees we're back in the swing of things.

As a webmaster, what should I conclude about this? What should Yahoo search users conclude about this?

More critically from a business standpoint, why should I make changes to my website so that I can get back into Yahoo's good graces, when it could potentially jeopardize my Google placement?
