There I am #7 on google.com
There I am #7 on yahoo.com
There I am #7 on au.google.yahoo.com
There I am #7 on ca.google.yahoo.com

And I am on uk.search.yahoo.com...... nowhere. My main page doesn't exist, but 80% of my interior pages are there.

I had hoped the update would fix this, but no luck, new results showing and I'm nowhere.

Hey SteveB, are you talking about the results for the directory or google?

If it's google, then I know sometimes they leave out some pages if there are multiple listings.

There has been a lot of speculation about this, about why some pages are left out, but nothing conclusive.

uk.search.yahoo.com/search/ukie?p=keyword

I assume this is what you mean bu Google, and yes this is the problem. I show in the directory just fine.

Also, I just discovered for a four word term, where I held the #1 and #2 places, since the page-not-listed was first, the #2 listing is not there either, even though it is findable via other, more specific searches.

I don't know why my main page would fall under multiple listings but my 134 sub-pages would not.

It's kinda embarrassing for my "top" listing now to be my site map!

If this just stays as a yahoo.uk problem I guess I don't care, so it is good to hear others have had the problem. :) I'm more concerned about this not occuring wih yahoo.com and google than the uk branch.
