Have You Been Dropped
By Yahoo?
Yahoo has fairly recently updated its guidelines. You can
read the full list at:
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/basics/basics-18.html
I thought that a few points were of great interest to you
because we have discussed these issue in the past when describing
the best way to future-proof your site against search engine
algorithm changes.
Here are some of the new guidelines:
Pages Yahoo Wants Included in Its Index
1. Original and unique content of genuine value
2. Pages designed primarily for humans, with search engine
considerations secondary
3. Hyperlinks intended to help people find interesting, related
content, when applicable
4. Metadata (including title and description) that accurately
describes the contents of a web page
5. Good web design in general
It seems content is now King for Yahoo, and unique content
at that. As I have always told you, develop webpages with
unique content and your sites will do well.
Here is a summary of some of the guidelines Yahoo makes on
what not to do. I have added my own comments in brackets afterwards:
1. redirects (targeting smart pages and similar cloaking
techniques).
2.Pages that have substantially the same content as other
pages (pages generated by page generators that substitute
one keyword for another).
3. Pages in great quantity, automatically generated or of
little value (data feed sites that are built in a day by someone
wanting to put out thousands of pages quickly).
4. Excessively cross-linking sites to inflate a site's apparent
popularity (webmasters who cross link all their sites in an
effort to rank better).
5. Pages built primarily for the search engines (highly optimized
pages).
Read the full set of guidelines for yourself as they offer
a great insight as to why your site may have been dropped
by Yahoo.
