When I seach for my URL on Yahoo! search I get 700+ links.
When I click on some/most of them, I get some sort of html link that goes back to my URL, but with other search results I get something like the following.
1) My URL is not on the webpage (or in the page's code) shown in the results, and usually, it is some sort of travel affiliate page (my site is a travel content site).
2) Then when I click on Yahoo's cached version of the webpage shown in the results, I get a totally different page that always seems to be some sort of index of other web pages (mine included).
3) The cached pages all seem to be really text-heavy, and the other public-version (you know, the one people are supposed to click in the Yahoo results) are spashy and loaded with affiliate come-ons.
Can someone explain what is going on, what am I seeing?
I've looked at the code on both the live and cached version, but I wouldn't know what to look for. I will add that the live version URL goes to one big-a$$ website, while the cached version is one of those hyphened to the wazoo sites.
If anyone wants or is interested, I'll sticky mail those URLS and then maybe you can post about it, if you can make sense of what I am seeing.
