Yahoo URLs in Natural SERPs

Web Position Does Not See Your Site URLs anymore in Yahoo results.

Re - Yahoo Natural Search Listings:

Web Position cannot detect your site url in Yahoo natural search results because Yahoo listings now look like this when you mouse over the link - effectively swapping out your site url with their own:

rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGkiTL.VZG38cAuEpXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTB
2aG9tbXJmBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA3cEdnRpZAMEbANXUzE-/SI
G=11n9pk0vm/EXP=1180191563/**http%3a//www.imdb.com/title/tt0103241
(this was a search for: bob)

WP pulls this out of that string:

Your listing looks like this:
//rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGkk3e.FZGbosAtztXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTB
2aG9tbXJmBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA3cEdnRpZAMEbANXUzE-/SI

Anyone else notice this in Yahoo Search Results and Web Position reports?

How do you fix this problem? I've reported it to Yahoo.

Thanks,

Doesn't sound like a problem, more a solution. Why would Yahoo want to accomodate someone using a tool designed to help them rank better?

I believe yahoo uses that redirect to count the number of clicks each URL recieves and then use that information to rank it higher or lower.

report it to webposition, not Yahoo.
