So, now what?
If I move my sites to a new host, do you think Yahoo might pick them up again? I don't know if they just put a block on the ISP or if they have a block on each and every doimain that was hosted there.
Any thoughts?
These sites are still doing fine in Google.
Luckily I only have one on that server, but there goes about $50 a day.
No idea what the problem might be, but at least we do know that we can't blame this one on Corn Boy. That narrows it down a tad bit.
The content sites sales sites, the whole kit and kaboodle got deleted from Yahoo. This was not just my sites. It was everybody's sites.

I think the best you can hope for is to simply move them to a new server (a pain I know), and start watching for Yahoo's crawler to come around. Although, with the slow speed that yahoo updates it's index (it's been about every 6 weeks for us), you'll probably be missing the holiday season.
If I were you I would move away from virtual hosting and get a dedicated box (you can get them for as little as $99 a month).
If these are affiliate sites, DO NOT contact Yahoo and request reinclusion, as it will be the kiss of death for them.
It may be due to an entirely different issue, but I had one site that got nailed last March and I moved it to a VPS as it made no sense to continue paying for a hosting account for a "dead" site. Two months ago it found its way back into the good graces of Yahoo, at least for the time being.
As I said, maybe the problem is not the same thing, but a server move certainly can't hurt.
Yes, if there is a large number of sites on an IP address range that are spam sites, then others that share that IP range will be considered in violation.

Some of them very well may have been.
"Yahoo!'s mission is to deliver the highest quality search experience."
My mission is to deliver what highest quality product that the consumer is looking for.
"Yes, our number one goal is to deliver the most relevant results to searchers."
Several products that I offer on my site are not available anywhere else (I am the primary source of these products). The consumer will not get a relevant result now if they do a Yahoo search for one of these items.
It makes sense that Yahoo should wish to identify and penalize irrelevant or useless sites. "Identify" being the operative term here. If the police want to flush out a fugitive who is hiding in an office building, should they gas all of the occupants?

Not at all, but seeing it from thier point of view (and using your analogy):
If 95% of the people occupying that building have been identified as "rule breakers", then the other 5% are more than likely to be "guilty by association".
At any rate, if your site meets Yahoo's guidleines, you should have no problem getting a reinclusion request granted (took me about 8 weeks to get an answer the last tiem I sent one).
If they are pure-affiliate sites, with little or no original content (i.e. mostly datafeed driven sites), well, that's just the cost of doing business in the affiliate world.

yes, but unless you know something we dont, those arent the figures used by Yahoo. The quote i posred talked of numbers not percentages and ranges rather than specific servers.

I'm ROFL about that one. I've only heard of a select few being re-included. I belive you also said Yahoo reacts to spam reports in minutes. Yeah, right.
If you can, get a new server (or switch your hosting companies), register a few new domains, ban googlebot from these new domains, copy them over, ban yahoo from the old domains, and start getting links for them.
domain.com
and
domain.co.uk
on the same box? Can trat trip a dupe content banning?
I guess they figure it's OK for them to pad their images database at my expense even after giving me the bad finger.
And these sites rank well in Google for competitive terms? Amazing.
Talk about using a cannon to kill a fly
if your concern is only having certain types of sites in your index rather than as much information as you can index on the internet then this works well.....
What should I do? If I host 10 websites using unique IPs will I be allright?
