hi to all members and the administrator!
thanx for replying to my thread at the Google section. My concern about Yahoo is that, one of my site get registered in Yahoo through the biz express. After getting registred it was on the second page of the searchable results. All of a sudden one day, my site was thrown away to the LAST page of the results. I am till now quite confused about this ACTIVITY from the editors. The only thing i did after my site got listed was using the change form and the meta tags of the site. I am though sure that i used much better changed keywords, so changing them may not be the reason.

Yahoo does this to many sites. There is really not a lot you can do.

They take click thru ratios into consideration. The sites that are clicked on a bunch move up and other sites move way down. This has nothing to do with keywords or meta tags. One day you may find your site on the second page again. Maybe others have further insight as my Yahoo listing has done me no good. Rank is like 40 some on main keyword phrase.... no hits from them.

thanx for your reply!
Dear administrator, i wish i could agree but the thing is that if that was the case of ranking in Yahoo, then how will my site which was placed on the second page and unfortunately now on the forth can compete in terms of serving click throughs with the sites placed on the first page of the results

Well, Actually I would like to know that also as my site is on the 4th page. Nothing we can do as far as I know.

Yahoo is something you just cannot worry about. Concentrate on Google as then you can come up on Yahoo/Google and Google. They make up about 50% of my total referrals from search engines.
