Yahoo-slurp behaving how Google-Bot used to

Anyone notice this new activity

[sandor]

For a few newish sites, Yahoo suddenly deep spidered them in the last few days, then by the following day was sending traffic via decent keyphrases

Anyone else noticing this new (to me) activity. Seems a lot like how Google used to behave awhile back ... good to see this trend though, especially since Google doesn't seem to behave like this any more.

No, but sure hope it does for my new site! :)

Just happened to my new site as well. Yippee!

When I do a lookup on Marketleap for search engine saturation I show 3 pages indexed in HotBot, All the Web, but when I click on the "More pages from this site" link in Yahoo I now show 56 pages indexed and the site is only 6 weeks old.... nice to see...

Same here, I can see many of my new websites are listed in Yahoo.

Mine are newly in the index too -- sort of. I recently consolidated several ISP-hosted sites into my own domain. In the past couple days, the new pages will appear in SERPs, but only if I restrict the search to my new domain name. Without that restriction, my old, autoforwarding, not-to-be indexed pages are found instead. The new pages will not appear, no matter what search words I use.

I donīt know,
but just checked stats for domain I gave my son for his birthday in january.
Itīs an page under construccion, only 1 image and a bit of text, no links at all (as we know).

And googlebot, alexa, jeeves and the 6/4 yahoo slurp as well passed by, and itīs indexed in yahoo.
If from yahoo spider or googlebackup, no clue.
Iīm impressed.
