    Yahoo dropped Google?

    I heard rumours today that Yahoo has started using Inktomi instead of Google? Not every time, but surfers report that now and then it's Inktomi results, not Google's.
    Anyone?

    Yep it's gonna happen, mainly due to Yahoo's impending purchase (which I don't know if it went through yet or not) or Inktomi.

    Why give the competitor's PPC traffic and revenue when you've just got your own?

      Yup, it's Inktomi's turn. Google's gonna die soon.
      I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

              I think that it will be an interesting change. I must say that Google's SERPS have not been as good as they used to be.

                  I'm glad Yahoo is dropping Google.

                  I get high rankings on Yahoo but so-so on Google. I actually got a personal reply from Google on this and we found an error. Yahoo had been spidering and listing sites that linked to my sites but Google didn't. When I showed Google what Yahoo had, Google went on a quest to find out what was going on.

                  Since then I've tripled traffic and after next week I'll 10x that number with other traffic strategies.

                  You can't always count on the SE's. You've gotta get traffic yourself.
