Wiped off the yahoo planet...

[duker665]

I just discovered I went from #3 keyword "nextel accessories" to non-existent on yahoo today. All my other search words are gone also. anyone else seen big changes? I heard there was an update, but I am hoping this is a glitch. How could a change be so dramatic!??

We just got a client because his site was also ripped off.
Here are some news about this issue: Yahoo Search Update Index Ranking Changes
But be careful with the software mentioned there.

Duke,

Are you using the same content as other websites/affiliates?

Are you inter linking domains names with the same niche/type of content?

Why aren't the sales happening on the cell phone website? Is this simply an affiliate website?

[duker665]

guess I am a rookie at this. When you say using same content as other website/affiliates.
Yes I have content on phone reviews that I get from other sites. Is this bad for search engines? Since there is not much you can say about a phone clip.....I added phone reviews.

really didn't understand the 3rd question. I don't have any affiliate web sites.

thanks!

Yahoo has been doing a lot of updates lately and as a guess your blog or ebay links may have been devalued.

[duker665]

thanks, actually I had almost no blogs or ebay when I was high up or when I was knocked down. Most of these links are very recent.
