Hello,

We used to be number 1 in Yahoo! for our main keywords and now our site is simply gone... no traffic at all

Our website is indexed but not completely:

- Some of the key pages disappeared from the Yahoo! index
- Pages are crawled but not correctly (the title of 95% of our pages disappeared and yahoo list only the URL)

The result is a catastrophic drop in ranking and traffic...

Do you have any idea of what is going on?
Anyone seeing the same catastrophic thing?

Thank you

Note: We did a recent 301 redirect on our domains but it should not concern the removed/not correctly crawled pages of our website

Thanks for the link, I read it already

I wanted to know if other members got the same problem as me and if yes how they resolved it...

Yahoo robot crawl the URL but does not display title or anything else beside the URL...

HELP!

There sure is some big changes going on with the Yahoo serp listings right now. I'm checking major money making niches and this really looks like Yahoo is trying to drive us towards their PPC service no doubt about it with the niches that I'm checking.

I've lost some great 1,2,3 listings and being replaced with Yahoo's own sub directory listings with their own site links.

It also looks like you can resolve this right now with massive one way links to your site on topic or not.
