I have noticed that Yahoo still hasn't resolved its problem with cgi redirecting links. One of my sites got dropped and in its stead was the cgi link. However the cgi link does have the ranking that my site did. So I contacted the directory that linked to me this way and told them to remove the link. They removed my link and removed the page that it was on.

When the link was originally removed from the directory I submitted the page to Yahoo to encourage it to notice the change. However, it responded that it could not find the URL (which makes sense because the page was dropped). I then submitted the directory site itself to Yahoo hoping that it would then spider the site and see that the page was dropped. I even submitted my site again. As well, in order to really get things resolved I wrote a complaint to Yahoo about the serps stating the cgi link was not working anymore and that I could not find my site.

This happened over a month ago, yet still Yahoo hasn't updated that this cgi link is gone. Its cache still shows the page and the cgi link.

So what do I do? The lost of traffic from Yahoo is killing my business.
