Effect of Yahoo listing on Google SERP

I got my site into Yahoo, but now it's gone from Google

Any ideas on this? I had one site listed well in Google for some important keywords and key phrases. A few days ago I got this site into Yahoo through the Express submit. Now, for the first time since long, the site got the fresh tag, but for all these important keywords and phrases it dropped almost to invisibility in Google. Also, in Yahoo it comes up behind most competitors. I had made a few changes on this site recently, so does this mean there is something seriously wrong with these changes? PR is 4. Only a few sub pages are listed relatively high, but the cache shows the old versions.

I'd look at the changes first. There's nothing we've heard or seen to suggest there is a problem with a Yahoo listing - only the opposite.

Thanks, Brett. It was pretty weird: after a few days the site came back stronger than ever, with PR 5. Maybe it was just the ongoing update of the Google index.

I have a similar experience.
PR6 - Yahoo Business submission - Google update - down to PR5 (lost 6 inbound links but Yahoo incoming is added - 416 incoming now)
I'm quite disappointed...

Andy, wait a few days. For me everything turned out fine, in the end. Good luck!
