Yahoogle results are different

[creep]

All new results for 80% of the 50 or so terms i monitor..This is google's results and they are different than last month by leaps and bounds

Links are the same though creep, it's not the update yet.

LOL. Marcia, I was a little shocked by your reply until I noticed the previous poster's name. :-)

Doesn't Yahoo update at different times than Google? However, on the terms I checked Yahoo seems the same.

I remember checking one month and finding the new results on Yahoo before they were on www.google.com.

Nice to have you creep. Sorry I couldn't resist, but it really is nice to have you. :)

I think what creep was seeing are results that are more than just Google. So far creep's report is the third about very different search results on Yahoo(Web).
We are in for big changes from Yahoo. Google is not going to be the only data base they get results from.

I've noticed several times over the course of this month that Yahoo results sometimes are virtual mirrors of Google results, and at other times, look nothing like them. Playing with my referer logs, I've seen cases where I'm getting hits from page 1 of Yahoo results, but when I look at the page at yahoo myself, I'm nowhere to be found (though I still appear on page 1 at Google, Netscape, and AOL). Then (I haven't spent enough time to figure out the frequency), things go back to YaGoogle Results later on in the day.

You're right. There's something going on with Yahoo. Not sure what, though. Results aren't obviously from another specific search provider (that I can determine) - they still "look" like Google results, just sorted differently. I first noticed this about 2-3 days after what's come to be known as "Black Wednesday".

<thinking aloud> I'm wondering if Yahoo has some sort of factor for "click popularity" that they inject in there. I'm still getting srd.yahoo hits from time to time - and that contains the tracking code for how many times something gets clicked in it...</back to thinking in my head where it can't possibly harm anyone but myself>

wish somebody at google would just go and push the big red button, the suspense is killing me

I am seeing the same thing as you are Grumpus.
