Another Yahoo Index Update

If you haven't used Yahoo Search lately, give it a try. The folks at Y! have just rolled out another index update, and the SERP's are looking very good; good as in relevant! Y! is now a serious competitor for search, which I'm very happy about, because I'm tired of smoking that Google stuff. Of course, I'm still going to use Google, but when you're doing research, it's always best to have access to multiple sources of information, because research just isn't research if you rely on one information source. Yep.

Looks like Y! is updating their index every month now, and that's a good thing. Regular updates will help keep the spammers from taking over the Y! SERP's. Wading through spam is such a waste of time, and there are few things I hate more than wasting my time!.

Have you tried Live Search lately? I don't know what those guys are smoking, but I wouldn't mind gettin' some for New Year's Eve. A real shame, considering how deep Micro$oft's pockets are. M$ should just throw in the towel and buy Y!

Another Yahoo! Index Update?

I noticed some significant changes to the Yahoo! search engine results pages (SERP's) this morning. It looked like Y! released a new update for their index, but that didn't seem likely since the last major shuffle was on June 12. I just visited the Yahoo! Search Blog and found that it is in fact a new update. So maybe Yahoo! will be shuffling their SERP's more frequently from now on, which would be a good thing, IMO.

My sites did OK this time around, though I am disappointed about certain keywords and keyphrases. Of course, the update has just been announced, so the SERP's may jump around quite a bit before settling. Here's a quote from the Y! Search Blog:

"We expect the update will be completed by the weekend."

So, check your Yahoo! SERP's boys and girls, and good luck!
