Wrong domain in Yahoo! SERPs?

Any way to "change" to Primary domain?

[Gundamknight]

We're listed number 1 in Yahoo SERPs for our main 2 KW phrase, but the domain displayed is one of our old domain names (currently being forwarded to our primary domain), submitted to Yahoo a couple years ago.

All our main domain pages are indexed, and Slurp crawls us 20+ times a day (no, we haven't paid for Y! Site Match). These pages though are typically buried in SERPs though, even though the same pages are dominating (top 10) Google results for the same keywords. We're number 3 in Y! directory for our main 2 KW search term.

I guess what I'm really asking is can we talk to Y! and ask them to update that domain to our primary without having to pay for Site Match or losing our current position?

As an aside, would Yahoo! consider these domains as the same site? We're not trying to cloak or mask anything - just forwarding our old domain to our current domain.

Has anyone had any experience with this type of thing? Tim? Any insight or suggestions from you?

Thanks,

Similar thing here, except my serp lists the domain as one of my incoming links. (a totally non-related site I don't own)

Also my index page seems to have at least 2 different titles according to yahoo. :)

how is it being forwarded? Yahoo have admitted to having a problem with redirects.

We're forwarding the old domain at our DNS server to go to the right IP. Both domains resolve to the same IP. But under the old domain, the page links on the pages have the new domain name in the link URLs.

I have a few old domians that have nothing to do with my main site. I just stuck them in as a redirect to my main site. Now the top 4 sites that come up when you type in my company name are all these old domains that are just parked. I can't even find my main domain. My main domain has backlinks and none of the other sites have backlinks. People still get to my site but they see very weird domain names.

>>> How long before Yahoo gets the redirect problem resolved?
I recently posted that we're still working on the problem. Unfortunately I don't have an estimate on when it will be completed. It is a high priority.

This is, I think, a different problem. I just posted a comment in this thread about it (msg #12):
