Yahoo Updates Site Guidelines

Yahoo Updates Site GuidelinesDetails of penalised sites as emailed to Mail to webmasterworldfeedback@yahoo.com
Hello.....,

Please could you look into the following situation regarding www.totaltravel.co.uk the site has been built in accordance with webmaster guidelines avoiding known search engine spam methods.

Background: Following discussions with a Yahoo contact about why our sister site www.totaltravel.com disappeared from the Yahoo search results we were told that "we were deemd to be part of a "Link Spam Network" which was why we were dumped. He cannot give specifics as they don't give specifics or everyone would know how to get around their rules.

He has asked the editorial team to re-look at our site and in his experience
it takes them 10 days to get around to it...If they find nothing awry they could put us back on - they will not tell us why if we fail their inspection..."

Regarding www.totaltravel.co.uk the site is new and only just open to the search engine spiders. It appeared in the Yahoo! search listings following 2 visits by slurp as follows:

First hit, at 2004-07-17 19:00:37 GMT+0 was to check our robots.txt to ensure it was allowed to spider us.
Second hit, 2004-07-17 19:01:33 GMT+0 was to the home page.

On 21st July 6,710 pages were returned for www.totaltravel.co.uk and then the site disappeared and has not returned.

Please ask the editorial team to re-look at our site and reconsiderr including it. It would be helpful if you could also let me know if the UK site has been dropped because it is also considered a "Link Spam Network".

The Australian site spends $**k per month with Overture and are considering switching this budget to Google.

Regards

Future of Search Search Engine Experts Share Thoughts on Search

Search Engine News :: Search Engine Lowdown: Search Engine Experts Share Thoughts on Search: "Google will find ways to limit the effectiveness of off topic link buying. This combined with a limited keyword pool and increasing competition will likely cause keyword lockout and a sharp increase in ppc click fraud in the next 12 months.

Spam will become exceedingly sneaky. Example: guys named 'Seo Hagishami' will start spamming all my blogs with links into their personal blogs. A few months later their blogs will be taken down and 301 redirect all posts into an SEO firms website. Lots of other similar sneaky ideas.

OneStat Research Shows Number of Words in Search Requests is Increasing

Search Engine News :: Search Engine Lowdown: Exclusive: OneStat Research Shows Number of Words in Search Requests is Increasing: "According to new research by OneStat.com, search engine users are adding more words to their search requests.

The number of search requests containing '1-word phrases' or '2-word phrases' declined, while search requests containg 3 or more words, increased since January.

The data, collected over the past 2 months, suggests that search engine users are realizing that by adding qualifiers to their requests (e.g. zip code) or by being more precise with their searches (e.g. include colors and model numbers), they can get better results. "

tables & standards

Mike D. says… jul 18, 2004 | 11:42 pm

This may sound selfish but I really think that a lot of the benefits of designing with standards are benefits for web workers and not necessarily users. This isn't a bad thing, but it's just something to keep in the back of your mind as you ask yourself "which way should I be doing this site"?

I think there is way too much emphasis on this mysterious quality of XHTML which is supposedly to magically transform our world one of these days. I am not a believer in the "one document fits all" theory either. Show me any XHTML site which purports to give the best user experience to sighted people, blind people, wireless users, the mentally disabled, etc using only stylesheets, and I'll show you reasons why modifying the entire user experience (including serving up entirely different documents) is better for the user you happen to be talking about. I think you'll start to hear a lot more about "server-side accessibility" and server-side wireless publishing as people start to realize that there are more differences needed in displaying content than can be provided by stylesheets.

Shifting SEO Landscape Paid Inclusion out of MSN Ask Jeeves

Shifting SEO Landscape Paid Inclusion out of MSN:

On July 1, MSN announced that it had dropped Yahoo's Site Match Paid Inclusion listings from its index effective immediately. Meaning MSN listings are now a variation (their own secret parceling) of Yahoo's free index and ONLY the free index.

MSN is also still working on its own search technology, and a preview is now available at: http://sandbox.msn.com/. But don't fret if you're not in this new index. MSN search is not using this new technology yet, and it is in early and not late Beta stages.

"Ask Jeeves felt the heat of Paid Inclusion criticism and announced on June 24, that it was no longer offering the Teoma Paid Inclusion program. The engine will honor yearlong PI contracts, meaning all Paid Inclusion listings will be phased out of the engine by September 2005. "

Automated Link Exchange Backlash

Automated Link Exchange Backlash: "On some of my sites, I have two e-mail addresses for link requests - one for automatic software download and one for humans being. The former one will be filtered out even before it reaches my mailbox. "

I encrypt email addresses for every site we manage (70+ sites) - so I do not receive automated link requests :)

I removed/encrypted all published email addresses on all sites a long time ago. It worked for a few months, but now the little devils have scripts that interrogates the domain registry and sends the emails to the admin email address associated with the domain name.

While I agree that a personalised email which is from an on topic site and with a specific mention of my site is not spam, I DO consider the generic "Dear Webmaster" recip requests from a completely off topic site to be borderline.

Automated Link Exchange Backlash

Automated Link Exchange Backlash: "There's a difference between 'automated' and 'assisted by automation', and in my opinion that's where a lot of would-be link hunters go astray.
You can use automated methods to help you:
- scout for sites that might be suitable to request links from
- keep your campaign organized.
You need human judgement to:
- assess whether each site is in fact a well-matched, well-targeted candidate for a link request. Skimp here and you're guaranteed to cause offense.
- read their instructions for how to suggest links. (ditto)
- identify who is the most suitable person to write to. (ditto)
- actually write an artful link letter (ditto) "

Microsoft buys Lookout to boost search | CNET News.com

Microsoft buys Lookout to boost search | CNET News.com:Microsoft's MSN division announced Thursday that it has acquired Lookout Software, a firm whose technology searches messages in the software giant's Outlook e-mail client.

"new design included a more streamlined interface that resembles Google's minimalist style. MSN also took out some advertiser links that were served by Yahoo, although it kept its paid-search relationship with the Web portal's Overture Services subsidiary.
Down the road, Microsoft plans to launch its own algorithmic search engine in hopes of competing more closely with Google. In the past year, the software giant has focused its attention on Google's dominance in Web searches. Part of Microsoft's development efforts involve bridging the power of Web search into the Windows operating system to search for files and documents."

Google to work directly with SEMs

MediaDailyNews 07-13-04: "Google is also developing a client services initiative through which sales reps will work directly with SEMs, according to Barbara Coll, President and Chair of the Board for search industry trade group, Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO). While she admits some SEMPO members are concerned about search engines horning in on their business, she believes, 'Obviously [search engines] want to work with SEM companies... because we sell their product beautifully; we're like an extension of their sales force.'
Fredrick Marckini, CEO of SEM firm, iProspect doesn't deny the existence of channel conflict. However, he concludes, 'The fact that the major search engines have demonstrated a willingness to pursue direct relationships with the big brands is a much greater threat to the big agencies than to search-centric firms with hands-on experience to advise, and the capability to move, evolve and flex to meet new market challenges.'

Pontefract Liquorice Festival

Untitled Document: "
Pontefract, the liquorice capital of England, presents a delicious, action packed weekend celebrating the culture and heritage of this famous market town."

Guardian Northener article:

>>> MARTIN WAINWRIGHT RECOMMENDS...

There's a classic northern highlight over the weekend of July 10-11 -
the Pontefract Liquorice Festival, which sees the old Yorkshire
centre of liquorice-growing doing everything possible to celebrate
the plant, including one initiative which is very... well... odd.

I took three work experience students from Greenhead College,
Huddersfield - Laura Walsh, Matt Keighley and Cory Hazelhurst - down
to Ponty last week to find out more, and here's what they have to
say:

"English festivals have always been something of a strange occasion,
but Pontefract's fourth annual Liquorice Festival might just be the
strangest in a while. It kicks off on July 10 for two days and is
anticipated to be the biggest national celebration of liquorice. The
festival includes a liquorice cake and dessert-making competition,
liquorice-tasting including the sampling of Liquorice Ale and a
Liquorice Tranquillity Centre.

"Pontefract has long been known for its association with liquorice.
Thirteen factories once provided much of this historic town's
employment. These days, only two factories remain, but Pontefract is
still proud of its heritage, which explains the community's
enthusiasm for this year's festival.

"Before the festival, the main uses of liquorice had mainly been in
making Liquorice Allsorts, chewing gum, cakes and forms of
alternative remedies. But textile students at New College,
Pontefract, have rediscovered a new function for the popular sweet.
Their head of department Amanda Bird has organised them to design
their own clothes made from the confectionery. The idea, described as
"very innovative" by the college's principal Rob Phillips, is oddly
appropriate for the town and has certainly caught on to the festival
spirit.

"The design ideas stem from the original liquorice dress worn by
factory worker Emily Money for her firm's annual Christmas dance in
the 1930s. Amanda Bird says: "The students are used to working with
unusual materials, including clothes made of wire, paper and glue,
but liquorice seems to have really inspired them."

"There is a wide range of designs - favourites being an Allsorts hat
and a liquorice dinner jacket complete with bow tie. There will be
three separate shows at the festival when professional models will
show off the students' creations - which may be heavy work. Hannah
Chilton and Sue Vernon's Pontefract Cake dress alone used thirteen
and a half pounds of liquorice.

"Festival-goers should be careful about just how much liquorice they
eat. Only days ago, a 56-year-old woman was taken into hospital after
overdosing on the black stuff."

Thanks, gang. More details at Pontefract Liquorice Festival

Microsoft will unveil a new look to its MSN Search service next month.

CBS MarketWatch - Business News - Financial Information - Investment Tools E-NewslettersBill Gates says Microsoft will unveil a new look to its MSN Search service next month.

In Sydney, Australia, the founder of Microsoft (MSFT) told reporters, "The format of the site will change and so will the quality of what you get." Calling the state of Web search sometimes "terrible," the world's richest man said Microsoft has been doing linguistic research for more than a decade that "actually lets us parse and understand documents," ZDNet Australia reported.

Gates said search technology must be upgraded so that searches incorporate understanding and context. Later this year, he added, the company will launch "what's entirely our own back-end driving the search."

Forget pay-per-click (PPC)--pay-for-performance is in (PFP) 07-06-04

MediaDailyNews 07-06-04: "Forget pay-per-click (PPC)--pay-for-performance (PFP) is all marketers want to hear about from their advertising and publishing partners these days" "Pay-for-performance affiliate marketing in the real world has a name. It's called commissioned salespeople, [and] they're the most productive people in your stores," noted Macys.com President Kent Anderson. "Our fastest-growing areas in the stores--our best-run stores--are typically commission-oriented, and I think there's an analogy [to affiliate marketing] there because you have a highly motivated sales force...However, there is one pay-for-performance sales channel that received nearly unanimous disapproval. Panelists agreed that the growing problem of online fraud, spyware, and spam are deterrents to the growth of online commerce, and could eventually keep consumers from shopping online. Because of its proven effectiveness as a low-cost direct sales channel, online retailers are among the heaviest users of adware and spyware..

Forrester forecasts 25 percent growth every year over the next five years for e-commerce; Johnson says she is "incredibly optimistic" about the next 5-10 years.

Building a Hub Site: Thinking About Linking

Building a Hub Site: Thinking About Linking: "Conclusion
With Google providing every indication that hub sites will be given special consideration in the search engine rankings, it makes good sense to consider turning your site into a hub.
By linking out to authority sites, and other related sites for your theme, you can turn an ordinary website into a hub site very quickly. It's very easy to link out from a site.
Be certain to add lots of fresh theme based content to attract incoming links as well. They are needed to boost your PageRank and to build the necessary link popularity. Incoming links will cement your site's status as a hub.
Turning your site into a mini directory, or even into a fully fledged directory, will ensure your hub site level. Your positioning on the SERPs will be long lasting and are highly likely to survive any unexpected algorithm changes. Becoming a hub certainly has its advantages.
Consider creating a hub site today"
