Yahoo is a 10 in my book

or at least on my desktop

[Powdork]

Well it appears a new update is underway as evidenced by changing results backlinks and even pr. Yahoo is now a 10. ODP is a nine, as is msn. Bobby.watchfire.com is now a nine, unless we're being redirected from a ten.
Thus, according to my toolbar.

It would be nice to have a link on the Yahoo home page!

I notice the ALL link in the Yahoo directory begin with something like

[srd.yahoo.com...]
SS=93571615/*http://www.MyDomain.com/

Wouldn't this mean that Google cannot use the PR from the directory to the listed site?

Is this pr update now showing in www.google or one of the data bases?

No as in PR from Yahoo! doesn't count? Or No, the PR does get transfered from Yahoo!?

[teeceo]

I see pr9 for yahoo.

I saw pr10 about an hour ago on yahoo, but it is showing pr 9 again...About 5 minutes ago one of my sites was showing pr 6 - now its showing pr5....

Yahoo is PR10 on -sj. The default is the old PR.

"No" as in Yahoo links do count. Go to any Yahoo pr 4+ category, click on a site, check it's backlinks and look for dir.yahoo.*
It won't always work as the web is evolving constantly. Sometimes rather than regular Yahoo, you will get a regional or countrywide version instead but one is usually there.

ps. I'm not sure if bobby.watchfire.com went to pr 9 this time around or if it was last month, but 2 months ago it was a 10.

"steveb" How can you tell the pr is a ten on -sj? When i go to -sj and put www.yahoo.com in the toolbar then, hit the link to yahoo, i get a pr9? What am i doing worry?

[Powdork]

it involves changing your hosts file which is found in your windows folder to point at -sj's ip address. i suggest a site search for 'toolbar queries' or 'toolbarqueries' although google usually comes up with it much quicker.
i.e. www.webmasterworld.com/forum80/196.htm from google
