Does Yahoo Site Builder effect rankings?

[jonw440]

I used Yahoo Site Builder to build my site (18 pages)
I have made it into Yahoo and MSN engines. Google has only indexed my index page. Does anybody else have trouble getting google to index all of your pages?

You built it when?..

Most folks here are complaining since at least 6 months that google has only indexed their index page ..you are not alone ..

Some of them even used frontpage ..ICK! ICK! ICK!

( makes gesture like cats do when they have walked in water ..or witches do when casting off malevolent spirits ;)

given that "g" has just finished a major "whossit" then you may just be unlucky ..then again it may be the ****box ..or it may be the colour of your tin foil hat is not the required one for this season ..

Or other factors ..?

I started building the site on Novemebr 2nd.
I have done many website url error checkers and there is a ton of yahoo site builder html tags included.I didnt know if google would kick my site out because of that.
I guess I just need to wait...

If you know what to do then removing /cleaning up the yahoo proprietory tags into normal html wouldn't hurt anyways although as yet ( takes off tin hat )..I've not heard that google will penalise you for this any more than having lousy link structures and green eyes ..>:p

This is actually more of an html / browsers fora question as I read it ..best way to get G to list pages for now is to have at least one incoming link per page from an "authority" site ..not easy but it is possible ..

I started building my site in August and I submitted it to msnn, google, yahoo around October.

My website today in December is fully indexed in google,msn but not in yahoo.

I thought not being able to add meta description to my website using yahoo sitebuilder was going to affect my rankings but i guess it doesn't.

If you have no meta description then you need to hand edit it in there. And run the whole thing thru the w3c validator.
