I've noticed a page I made for 2 days was indexed but no longer exists. This was back in January but it's still indexed. How do I tell Y that this page no longer exists and to index the rest of the site? Thanks

Upto my knowledge, Yahoo does not have page removal program...

I guess they just mindlessly keep seeing if the root is there and keep indexing it. I've had to make the page again with a redirect to the index. Thanks

I have noticed about this too. The old page still in index of Yahoo. I have removed the old files in server and remove link which they can crawl that page also, it is still not remove from index.

Offhand then, I'd suggest you do what I did...make the page exist again with a redirect to the index or wherever. That way, you're not another dead link in Yahoo search.

As far as I know it you set up a 301 redirection in the htaccess file or equivalent the search engine will update there listings.
