When will Site Match be available for Y! UK?

Has anyone heard anything about this?

[TheVisitor]

Hello

I was wondering if anyone had any information regarding when Y!UK might be switching to Site Match?

As we all know, the current content over in the UK is still from G.

As I write, the U.S. is the only country whose Overture 'local' page offers Site Match as a service.

Would I be advised to use Site Match anyway, pay in dollars, and rely on geotargeting?

Many thanks for any input!

Im now seeing the new Yahoo serps on the uk model

Could be a test but it certainly looks as though the switch has or is about to be made.

Well spotted. These are no longer Google!

Interesting - I wonder when Overture's UK site will start selling Site Match to us.

MMT - I remember reading your article on using Ink submission to rapidly test optimised pages. Aren't you annoyed now that option is a lot more expensive with Y!?

>that option is a lot more expensive with Y!?

Not the way I'm going to use it ;)

A bit of lateral thought is called for - but you don't have to stay in the program for a year!

I'm going to start a seperate thread for YInk on yahoo.co.uk results.

I can see the logic of using PFI to boost link power, wait for the free crawl to pick this up and then stop PFI, but I'm concerned about click thru costs whilst I tweak, I must say

Hello claimsweb, and everyone else who's interested in Yahoo! UK.

There's no game of "now you see it, now you don't" going on at Yahoo! Europe - just a really hard-working team of people making sure they have a good, reliable search engine working for everyone!

The final launch will be occurring Real Soon Now, and hopefully someone will be able to confirm to you guys that it's happened for real once that's the case.
