Default Yahoo Listing Their URL, Instead of Your Site URL

Re - Yahoo Natural Search Listings:

Web Position cannot detect your site url in Yahoo natural search results because Yahoo listings now look like this when you mouse over the link - effectively swapping out your site url with their own:

url=http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGkiTL.VZG38cAuEpXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTB2aG9tbXJ mBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA3cEdnRpZAMEbANXUzE-/SIG=11n9pk0vm/EXP=1180191563/**http%3a//www.imdb.com/title/tt0103241]What About Bob? (1991)
(this was a search for: bob)

WP pulls this out of that string:

Your listing looks like this:
url=http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oGkk3e.FZGbosAtztXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTB2aG9tbXJ mBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA3cEdnRpZAMEbANXUzE-/SIG=1ec4q93rh/EXP=1180191326/**http%3a//rdrw1.yahoo.com/click%3fu=http%3a//clk.atdmt.com/HOU/go/nktmxnis0010006293hou/direct/01/%253FSite%253DYahoo%252BSearch%252BSubmit%2526amp% 253BCreative%253DUnknown%2526amp%253BArea%253DSSP% 2526%25230095%253BNissan%2526amp%253BCMP%253DKNC-Yahoo%26y=04909FAE23BA2FFF92%26i=482%26c=38616%26q =02%255ESSHPM%255BL7qvll~q6%26e=utf-8%26r=0%26d=wow~YHOO-en-us%26n=LN6KK1LETTB4CSP4%26s=9%26t=%26m=4656F8DE%26 x=05F1BB87F9597DE45CDC36C735222D5911]Nissan USA - Nissan Cars, Trucks, SUVs, Hybrid

Anyone else notice this in Yahoo Search Results and Web Position reports???

How do you fix this problem???? I've reported it to Yahoo.

Thanks,

Question Re: Yahoo Listing Their URL, Instead of Your Site URL

I am not sure I understand. I use web position and it shows my rankings in Yahoo. Did I misunderstand the post?

Default Re: Yahoo Listing Their URL, Instead of Your Site URL

That is just a redirect URL to track clicks from their website (SERPs) to yours.

Unhappy Re: Yahoo Listing Their URL, Instead of Your Site URL

Google has been quietly doing that for a while now as well. In fact, they even do it in gmail... spooky....

If I click on one of those Viagra links- big brother's looking...

That wouldn't be google's problem, it would web position's problem, although we don't have that problem with webposition either...


Now, if they could copy google's "gclid" parameter on paid search so I don't have this problem....

Log Analysis with Yahoo...

I'd be a hell of alot happier

You can't fix that... That's Yahoo's algorithm in ranking...IMO
