New Yahoo Results

not google or Ink

[Lingerboy]

I am seeing entirely new results on Yahoo. It's not Google and not Ink. No idea what is going on here. New algo?

[Macguru]

I am in Boston, and am seeing an entirely new ordering of results for a high demand keyword. Not just a few shifts in position. Very different ordering.

Search on "fonts" and compare to Google. Not the same.

Im sorry its still the same here, wait a few minutes

This happens for a number of high competitive or shopping phrases. I think the general consensus is that they are either hand editing or applying a different algo to some areas.

It's probably the new algo shifting back and forth and hitting different data centers. The yahoo search results are provided by google, like it says at the bottom of the serps in yahoo.

Thanks for the link msgraph, that seem to be the right issue. I read through it and it seems to be a serious mystery as to what is going on. Looks like Yahoo is rolling something out...slowly.

outrun, it does not apear to me that these results match any of the Google datacenters.

ok sorry, in australia "fonts" match them, maybe it will change.
