A little over a year ago I had a keyword density issue (I belive that is what the problem was)and Yahoo dropped one of my sites.

I lowered the density and sent in a re-inclusion and justa fe wdays later I was reindexed and even regaining a few ranks ..

then boom gone again..within a month.

The site is totally clean Google and MSN both treat it well , DMOZ , Wiki and major newspaper sites all link our site.. but Yahoo just ignores it wiht the exception of Y Slurp visiting everyday and taking pages and bandwidth ..

but I never get anything in return..no traffic ..

The site clearly still is being penalized ..site: bring ups domain/index and 8 other pages out of 400 pages total..

thye rank so low I get maybe 60 visitors a month and most of those are coming form Y images ..

Bottom line it's bene over a year .. they arent doing squat for me so should I just ban Slurp ...and maybe in 3-4 months allow Slurp back in and see if that makes any difference?

any comments?

Is it even worth trying to contact Yahoo support again?

Would you try disallowing Slurp for a few months?

Anyone having any luck being indexed and ranking again in Y after a having a penalty placed on their site?
