I droppped from the #2 position to #4.
Some of my competitors came up from 30 or more to #5, right under me!

What is strange is that I have a 143,541 Alexa rank and 19,169 popularity rank, the highest of my competitors and a very high keywords density, yet I am at #4.

Competitors with 600,000+ Alexa and 100,000+ popularity rating are ABOVE me!

Looks like perhaps they are inserting SITE MATCH clients now. These people above me with high rank numbers (which is like a golf score) are PAYING to get there. Yahoo is going to squeeze every dime out of clients!

The best thing I can do is drop my prices, take all the client business and wait until Yahoo bleeds them dry and they have to remove themselves.

All's fair in love and war!
