Results 20-23

poof they are gone

Right now on Google I'm hovering around #18-22 for a couple of searches. Problem is, Yahoo seems to completely drop two sites from the results right in there... going from Google result 20 to Google result 23. It's like a blackhole. I got lost on yahoo.uk once, but this is really weird (par for the month I guess). Anyone notice this black hole phenomenon before?

Okaaaay, so nobody noticed this. Well, just be warned, if you appear 18-23 or so on Google results. there is an excellent chance that you will not appear at all in Yahoo's results at all (for that serp).

Hi SteveB, I just did, I was about to post about it.

Did this happen to you on Yahoo UK?

I noticed it for a site listed at #14. It shows in Google, shows on Yahoo.com, but completely gone, poof, on Yahoo.co.uk

I have no idea why this could be. I'll try to mess around with this a bit more.

I disappeared before on yahoo.co.uk but not in the 18-23 ghetto. I don't know any reasons behind either one, but the yahoo.co.uk seems to happen to sites at random, while the 18-23 seems to happen fairly regularly.
