We have a site that is #1 at G was #1 at Y before and after sitematch, site disappeared from Y end of May. Just found out today why with help of site match. Another site copied exactly our content word for word and placed it on about 60 pages of their site. We did absolutely nothing wrong but our site which also was listed as most popular in cat at Y totally disappeared from Y including the directory where it's been for 3 years. We aren't the ones who cheated but we got penalized for it.

This has been discussed under penalties that Yahoo favors fraudulent sites copying content. Yahoo must act on this or Yahoo search will get a bad name.

I have tried to let Yahoo know but the bad sites just keep getting the top positions.
