A few days ago I got an email asking "why I was using their URL for another company". and they sent a link to a yahoo results page. It turns out that one of my serps ranked no one for the complainers site URL. I followed the link from yahoo to my serp page and their site was no where to be found. The serp on my site is powered by another SE and thay have updated their index. Yahoo is simply using the complainers URL as part of the snippet because that word did apear. Now it doesnt so the complainer belives the other sites are benefiting or hijacking their domain.
I explained as best I could about how serps can sometimes be indexed by other engines and that no sites where spoofing on their domain name.
Today I got an email from one of the sites the complainer thought was hijacking her site asking for an explination. and stating that he wished the yahoo serps to be altered.
I can almost smell the lawyers letter falling any day now.
OK you're now in my boots , what do you do.
Feel as if im the go between. email from one then the other and trying to explain to one then getting the same question from the other.
Think I will just set up a chat room and let them battle it out....
Actualy that might not be such a bad idea! :)
