No your answer and wg's is misleading.Google is now for the first time crunching all expired domains pr and its no longer a matter of a couple of months till they reinstate whatever pr is left, to the site.

To figure out Yahoo, just read up on Inktomi. But then again, we may start to see more of the Overture Site Match and Content Match crap showing up on the SERPs, rather than just the PFI domains. I like Yahoo's traffic, but since they have so many shareholders to pay off, and lets not forget the purchase of Altavista, Overture and FAST/ATW to pay off as well, they are truly diluting the shit out of their once really good SERPs..

:2 cents:

Alright, calm down killer.

Great thread! :thumbsup

Don't worry, they'll be updated shortly I'm sure. And also, just to add something to a new trader, try and get inbound only links without trades, it will help you out in the longrun.

I know you're eager to pick up secrets, but it ain't gonna happen. Best thing I can offer you is what I posted a bit earlier in the thread. Read that, and start testing your strategies.

Because GFY lacks informative threads.

So NiteChatDotTV, what do SEO specialist companies actually do after you pay them tons of $$??

Are they basically just doing all of your tips combined or do they just know people at Google + other SE's?

great tips dude :thumbsup

It depends on the company. Some companies have ties with insiders, most don't. SEO is a pretty basic idea, but requires a lot of time, and effort to be put into it in order for it to work. Depending on the SEO firm you hire to do your SEO work, they do pretty much all of the basic stuff we touched up on here, but on an enterprise level, or at least they should.

Thanks!

robots.txt excludes everything.

thanks for the thread :thumbsup

Despite the robots.txt there were a few random threads/posts that Google was indexing for some strange reason up until quite recently. :glugglug

Yah, I actually based my answer on this because I remember searching for something and a GFY thread showing up in the SERPs.

you skipped mine :(

this pos trocks:D

Yea, GFY has definately shown up on the SERPs. Ive even seen a few threads with a PR 1-2.

Any unsanswered questions?

:: sits down and presses record on recorder ::

how much SE traffic do u have, how much do u make and can u post some of your sites pls?

here is one that was missed:

what is the max number of text words you would want to have per page? do SEs care if you have too many words per page?

Could you point out the basic things Yahoo sees as important when ranking pages?

I know, for google incoming links is a VERY important thing, as well as keyword density, keywords in the title, h1 tags etc'

What in general should be done to optimize for yahoo?

btw, this is a very informative post, and I encourage more knowledgeable people to start such threads in the future...:thumbsup
