Lots of pages were in first position almost every keywords I wanted to be.
Now (better 1 year ago) Yahoo simply deleted my domain pages from its index.
So, if I try to: site:myolddomain.com I obtain only 1 result for home page.
When I try to obtain "More from this site" I obtain only the same one result.
I think I am banned but this domain rules in google for example and it respects all guidelines for slurp. This is why I don't know what is better
1) Try to be re-indexed in Yahoo (but how? I already tried to email them without luck.)
2) Start a new domain (in this case, can you point me to best way to start?)
Any help MUCH MUCH appreciated.
Best Regards.

I guess because of a domain that we wanted to change and redirecting issues. I guess.
I have had at least one site relisted in yahoo after removing certain links on my site.
What type of links?
The same thing has happened to me and a few other friends' sites with no known reason.
There are lots of theories and the strongest seem to be either 1- Too many similar pages or 2- Heavy Cross-Linking?
Any more ideas?

Before embarking on a plan for getting the site back in Yahoo in addition to keep Google serps safe, it's probably a good idea to know why your site was bumped out of Yahoo.
As far as redirects go, you may want to make sure that they are working properly, as I've heard that keeping that area simple is the way to go with Yahoo. The less redirecting and what-not the better.

to know why your site was bumped out of Yahoo.
There are an awful lot of well meaning people, with quality sites that would add value to the Yahoo user experience, that are dying to know the answer to this question.
Other domains (20-30) have heavy linking towards good-domain.
The strange thing is that some "other" domains are in 1st position in yahoo search.
Do you suggest to remove all those links?
And what about othe se, google for example? Will I be penalised of this?
Or is it better to start with a new domain only for slurp?
:-\

What can I do to understand why slurp goes in error in a page that IS NOT in error?
Regards and thank you.
then do paid inclusion through positiontech
Gave it a shot, but now I'm out $100 and the site was rejected. I just absolutely don't get why this is happening and why this issue can't be solved.
Imagine if you went to the Doctor.. you are not feeling well. The doctor takes your $100 and refuses to tell you whats wrong,despite knowing and kicks you out to the curb.
That is a scam and fraud as far as im concerned.
Yahoo is not webmaster or even business friendly by any stretch.
Please, take a look to web logs of my server:

I have been using simple .htaccess redirects to my affiliate links ie: Redirect /order http:..affiliatelink... for years, and I now have these excluded in robots.txt for all useragents, and I recently tried adding the robots="no-follow" tag to my actual affiliate links. I am also using a canonical redirect from the non "www" version to the "www" version of my domain.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain...\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [domain...com...] [R=301,L]
I am currently doing fair on MSN and getting a little from Google, nothing from Yahoo.

Joker: Who wrote the asp script that you're using on your site? Is it a package you've installed?
A response 500 indicates that the script is not executing properly. If it's only happening with the Slurp spider, then it is likely there's something about Slurp which is either tripping a bug or causing your script to crash.
As your site's disppeared from Yahoo, it looks like all of your pages (I assume they're all asp?) are having the same problem, so I would guess from that that the problem is in code which is common to all of your scripts.
If the scripts you're running are a 3rd-party package, your best bet is to visit their web site and see if they provide support, and/or do a search and see if anyone else is having the same problem.
Same thing happened to me with Site Match. This is pure unadulterated fraud so I contacted my credit card company and Yahoo had to reverse the charges. Don't let them get away with this crap.
Who wrote the asp script that you're using on your site? Is it a package you've installed?
I wrote almost ALL asp code and for what I can see it works fine!
I tried also to impersonate Slurp as user agent and perfectly can view pages.
Is it possible that Yahoo "asks" me page bad way in http headers? I'm going to investigate this!

msg = "<TABLE BORDER='1'>"
msg = msg & "<TR><TD><B>Server Variable</B></TD><TD><B>Value</B></TD></TR>"For Each strKey In Request.ServerVariables
msg = msg & "<TR><TD>" & strKey & "</TD><TD>" & Request.ServerVariables(strKey) & "</TD></TR>"
next
msg = msg & "</TABLE>"
I can obtain good informations?

I would suggest detecting when the user-agent is Slurp and writing the request variables to a text file. You should then be able to see if there's anything odd in the request that would trigger something in your script.
