oilman >> not sure what your comment is about and you missed my point: 1st I'm not pissed, 2nd we are more than competitive, 3rd there are barely enough 'real' players on the market to fill out their 1st SERP on this market.
The rest is just junk like Yahoo SERP is when they don't rely on human review.

IN ADDITION, and this is as funny as it is ridiculous, we get great rankings on Yahoo UK - come one! The market is US based ONLY (the market does not exist anywhere else), the IP is in US, the site is linked from websites with US ip's at 95%, it is included in their directory in the US....explain me that! How relevant is that?

Well I am going to give the answer :: US competitive searches are HAND CODED - and even though I can understand (with difficulties, but I an) why they do it, it simply shows (eventually) that they are unable to build a reliable search engine.
They don't even trust their own engine, why should we?

-Note: this site receives an outstanding amount of traffic from fair to very good rankings on GG and MSN plus our brand is well know enought, people find the site typing the domain name very often (almost 40% of queries) so no I am not pissed because Yahoo's audience reach is not that big for us, Their whole concept is just kinda stup..d
