I have been following a limited number of searches on yahoo and since they have changed their SERP's., I have not seen any major movement on any of the searches. Top spots remain the same with a few new listings tossed in, but no changes like in the past when they would turn results upside down.

My theory is that they will keep these SERP's for a bit and accumulate their data before any major changes.

Anyone else have any theories/ideas on what's going on with yahoo?

There were some changes this weekend guys (on Saturday)... not massive, but definite. There is a thread here: [webmasterworld.com...]

Is Yahoo recognizing the domain more now than before? How significan is the domain name to a Yahoo search result? Will Yahoo reject an unusually long domain name? If a site is already accepted will Yahoo reject a change in the domain name is it is very long?

Will Yahoo reject an unusually long domain name?

Sure will.....and I believe some SE's don't like them too much either.

The only changes I have noticed so far are, "new" sites inserted in the top 10 and then removed.

I saw an established site that was initially in the new Yahoo results page style, then removed from the top 15.

Moved up this weekend by a few positions on some sites. An important site moved from second to first page - click-through analysis at work maybe?

Got a nice boost from the initial change 20+ to 8 but haven't noticed any movement since.

Yes, I've noticed some movement.

After the serp change, one of my sites was initially at #2. On about 10/14 the site went to #7. I just notice that it's now at #1.
