In response to Yahoo's recent Inktomi merge. All I've seen are my results drop from several top 10 rankings to out of the top 35. Thats 20 searches that have completely disappeared. I am not a happy SEO camper. Google stats moved slightly but nothing close to this Inktomi shit.

This was why I stopped using MSN as an indicator was because of their association with the pay sites ie. Inktomi, etc. Plus, their returns were completely whacked in terms of relevant material and quality sites.

So don't tell me Yahoo's taking over the world when all they're really doing is pulling a 'pay for use' reach around. Stick with the Google and be one with yourself.
