The Yahoo Directory.

[Dpeper]

Ok, over the last week i keep getting a reffer in my logs that comes from the yahoo directory NOT THE GOOGLE RESULTS PART I GET TONS OF THOUGHS and every time i click to go to the reffer its a list of results from there directory but im not there. What could explain this?

Dpeper, are you sure you're not listed in the Directory?

I've encountered some sites that are listed but you can't find them if you type in the domain name. You'd have to search through the category to find it.

Also, in our logs, there's now way to differentiate between Yahoo Directory and yahoo web pages - are you sure you're able to determine the difference?

If you're really not listed in the directory, they may be coming from Yahoo web pages.

Try a search for domain.com rather than 'keyword one' and such. :) Newly added people wont see themselves through this method until they update their stuff.

Dpeper we're seeing similar referrals. When I view the results page, I can't find our listing either. Our tracking does differentiate between the two:

http ://search.yahoo.com/search?p="keyword"
http ://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p="keyword"

Our Overture referrals are listed as http ://search.yahoo.com/search?p="keyword", but I don't bid on this particular kw.
