Yahoo and they NEW Inclusion shit
 

So now they gonna scrap the old listings and only spider the people that pay? Fucking pricks....Give me the 411 on this

interesting post Juicy...

Yes I know thanks

anytime brother :thumbsup

fuck yahoo

they are going down hill

It's been posted here ... it has been planned since months now . But I don't think that will cut it . If they go for the money people will stop using yahoo and start using google.

The Lowdown: in 3 or 4 months,all SE will be back to the way it was. Yahoo and Google think they can create a new rev. stream that replaces the old. they will soon find out don't fix it if it ain't juicy:winkwink:

ICQ me if you want more details Juicy

Long stroy short: Yahoo and Google are competitors and Yahoo was paying Google for their listings. Yahoo bought Inktomi and now uses this paid inclusion model.

has anyone messed with the yahoo toolbar yet that shows the site ranking? I downloaded it to see what it was all about but it doesn't have a ranking on any sites i've been to. I left it on a couple of weeks and then uninstalled.

yahooooo..only good for games

Can you send it again, I f-ed it up.

:1orglaugh

Logged in to the wrong alias???

Tooooooooooo funny man.

Shut up :321GFY
That's not funny :2 cents:

A few hitbots, plenty of proxies and a somewhat polite email to the site owners that they're getting owned by hitbots would probably put a nice thorn in yahoo's side.

Er, why not? I think it's fucking hilarious. First time I have laughed out loud today was reading the first 4 posts in this thread.

Let me break it down for you...

Some people on the board make jokes about posting under alias nicknames. My :1orglaugh was a refernce to those jokes.

Does that help it make sense to you?

Fuck, I hope you're no one of those alias's...

When your down..charge for it !

All of my paid and spidered Inktomi listings are still showing up

yahoo is cold blooded

Yahoo has never claimed to be headed in the 100% paid lisiting directicion. Yet I see poeple saying stupid shit like that over and over again.

All of my sites are listed in yahoo. I get lots of traffic from yahoo.

I've never paid them a cent or submitted a URL to them.

IF (thats a huge if, thats not gonna happen) they go to a paid listing only model, it will fail miserably.

i'm sure the ones that know the old Yahoo trickks can get inside as well :Graucho

I see the free submission is still there. So is the pay-per click only for the listings in the directories?

Are the free listings the old google listings?

OK, free listings on Yahoo are filler.

I challenge anyone to prove otherwise.

No. They are inkatomi listings. Inkatomi has crawled my sites even deeper than googlebot for almost a year now. It was even going crazy on one of my sites that had sessions and I had to block it. Its listed almost everhting it crawled. (At least of the stuff I've looked for, there are too many pages involved guess a percentage thats listed)

Yeah, like me.

I own Yahoo.

That's a good place to be right now!

:thumbsup

Off Inktomi:

"Inktomi is no longer accepting new subscribers to its Search Submit? program. If you're interested in joining a similar program, our partner Overture Services now offers a new program called Site Match?. Please click here to learn more and sign up."

"Index Connect is now sold through Overture and its resellers. In conjunction with the launch of Site Match, the Index Connect program is now Site Match Xchange?. This change does not affect existing campaigns for Index Connect customers."

"Our Web Portal Solutions are currently being updated and revised. More information will be available shortly. If you need immediate assistance, please contact the portal sales group at Overture."


Overture won't tell me anything about the new direction they're going in.

You can?t count Yahoo out at all. They have partnered with the likes of SBC. When a new customer does a new DSL install, the software forces a personalized YAHOO starting page. There are millions of people that don?t have a clue on how to change their startup page on IE. So by default Yahoo is getting a ton of use, esp for new accounts.

Add to that the web based email service that is bundled with news, weather and the SE for all those new DSL customers and it ads up to a powerful resource for yahoo.

Yahoo is definately a major player, but their problem is they're going in to many directions to do things right IMHO.

Try them for your daily searches. They are doing things right IMO...


Giving me relevant results.

Oh yeah, I totally agree! Yahoo is my homepage. But the way they're doing business is sloppy. Here's an example:

Can't link to it but if you do a
Search in the product section for jack rabbit, it returns kids toys & Sex Toys!

There's other stuff too, and they're getting their act together, but slowly.

Yahoo also bought AV, I think excite and couple more search engines.

From what I and everybody understood from the old press release, they were going to ONLY list sites that are paying .

Surfers are getting smarter and smarter everyday ... Fucking the surfer over is not the way to go and they know that too . Try yahoo vs google right now and tell me who got the best results . Google search algorythm is behind yahoo's one by far if you ask me.

They have plenty of money man ... plenty . I like almost everything they do.
