Yahoo Spam Getting worse?

1 site takes up the first 6 listings

[Buddha]

For a search w/ 500K results which is decently competitive, the same site takes up the first 6 listings, w/ different urls. They occupy about 80% of the top 20 listings.

I'm not sure if this is new, or if they have been there for the past month. I think I would have noticed them before, b/c most of the time, their url makes it obvious.

Is anyone else seeing this in their industry?

I'm seeing spam all over the place. Much the same way you mention.

Dont worry, once the whole internet has been banned Yahoo will finally have won it's battle with spam.

In the SERPS I am looking at, 11 out of the first 20 results are pure spam. Just two websites, different URLs.

It would be interesting if all these new url's got in through sitematch anybody any clues if this is the case
if through sitematch could be cheaper than Overture for highly competitive terms

Look at this URL [google.com...] and tell me what you think of the number 1 sites homepage.. Notice anything interesting?

Google's latest algo is covered in these things it atrocious, it's the same with Yahoo as well, same stuff, its absolute rubbish.

In the SERPS I'm looking at, there is no way on earth that those garbage will be up there if it is not SiteMatch. Unless Yahoo has an incredibly inferior algorithm, or those sites are paying to be up there. Those sites showed up when Yahoo launched their SiteMatch.

The areas I am in are awash with tricks like that. It angers me even more when I know I will have to spend hundreds of dollars for new domains, and new hosting to overcome the ineptness of Yahoo penalizations. Not to mention the hours involved in creating. Plus once you create it some clown at Yahoo bounces you for a dupe because you can't disown the business you're already in.

Yahoo employees are the last people around to be lecturing people about quality. They haven't run a search engine on their own in quite a while. Then they come along bombing everybody's business with that clunker Inktomi. Yahoo doesn't give a hoot who they bury as long as they they can feed these ridiculous results to multiple search engines and draw a profit.
