My Y Serp Listing Appears with [beta] 'Add to my yahoo'

None of the others have it. Will this Negatively Affect my Ranking?

Hi,

I have shot up the SERPS in the recent Yahoo updates although have got [beta] appearing next to the 'Add to my Yahoo' link that appears with my listing.

None of the other results on the page have this 'Add to My site [beta]' text appearing.

Is anyone familiar with this and will this have any effect on the permanence of my new rankings in the the SERPS?

thanks,

Nick

This means Yahoo has recognised that you offer syndicated content on your site using an RSS or XML feed and is giving the searcher the change to add the syndicated feed to their My Yahoo portal.

I don't think this will affect your position in the SERPS at all, plus if people add you to their My Yahoo portal, they're more likely to visit your site to investigate information in your syndication feed.
