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