Yahoo.co.uk - All the Web vs UK only results

pulcinella2uk · #1 (**permalink**) 05-21-2004, 04:03 AM

I've got a new site - www.mlcdisability.com - which has just started (within the last fortnight) to produce results in Yahoo.

Even though it is a UK website I am finding that it is only getting listed in the UK Yahoo search when 'All the Web' is clicked. When 'UK only' results are clicked I cannot find the site at all - except under the company name.

Anybody got explanations?

Thanks.

In general, search engines only have the domain name suffix and the server location (as identified by IP) to guess at whether or not your site is a UK site or not.

You have a .com suffix but your server appears to be in Hoddenson,
Hertfordshire, UK so it looks like Yahoo is slipping up a bit.

Might help to drop them an email.
