Yahoo Algorithm Shift

Yahoo

There are reports that Yahoo! has changed its algorithm, placing a higher value on new content, which is in line with Google and MSN.

So, again, a blog on your web site will be a boon to your SERPs in all 3 major search engines.

Another way of capitalizing on this is to add pages to your site - for example, city pages where you write about featured locations and events, which can be changed once a month or so.

Although Yahoo! doesn't have the search volume of Google, don't discount it. One of my sites disappeared from Google for 6 weeks, and the only thing that saved it from utter oblivion were the visitors from Yahoo!

Interesting... for a while the search engines penalized you for new content. Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the info Kay. I was wondering if they were going to continue to let Google steal all of their market share.

Keep blogging and doing newsletters etc. I noticed that when I placed a blog here at AR I can in on the second page of a particular Google search and then after not placing anything new I have gradually gone to the back little by little. Keep your website up to date.
