Yahoo Revised Backlinks Update

Check your Yahoo backlinks.

As of a couple days ago Yahoo started discounting many backlinks to all websites when you use the "site:www.yourwebsite.com" function.

Personally I could not be happier. To me all the site results from Yahoo were garbage. You could try to check the backlinks of a competing website in Yahoo and see maybe 100k results.

Now out of the 100k results 90k of the incoming links would be from the same damn website. All these webmasters were doing is getting site wide links from websites. This is a tactic to try and trick the search engines into believing they really had more backlinks than they actually do.

It looks like Yahoo is following in Google's foot steps in cleaning up their algorithm. Some webmasters have seen devastating effects of this in the search engine position results and others have risen to the top.

Every website that I have personally worked on for the last 4 months has risen to the top 10 if not 5 for it's main keyword phrase. I can attribute this to only building high QUALITY backlinks not quantity. The honest truth is that 95% of my backlinks come from trusted strong directories.

More traffic to YOUR website

As some of you have noticed there have been some big improvements taking place on our directory. First off we have implemented the "video review" process and it is being accepted very well.

Second we have add a unique code to the directory that enables us to create unique meta tags and descriptions for every single page. Creating the unique title and description tags will take some time but it being worked on every single day.

Third we have added another unique code that allows us to post an entire article in every single category of the directory. This will help tremendously by allowing our pages to rank higher in search engines and in turn drive more traffic to your website.

Unique articles will be added daily and eventually every category and subcategory will have an article in it.

We are also seeing some very good search engine placement for very competitive search terms. Without giving to much away we will talk about the obvious term "Web Directory".

The competition is fierce and we have been working extra hard and are now ranking in the 6th position on Google!



Google and Yahoo links are increasing monthly along with indexed pages. Our directory is getting crawled more often and deeper which is a great sign that the SE's like us:)

Yahoo Down

Maybe it's just me but I can't connect to Yahoo. I tried to connect using Firefox and Internet Explorer and neither of them will. I also tried to connect by searching for Yahoo in Google and clicking on the first result for Yahoo which was www.yahoo.com

I made a video of me trying to connect to Yahoo. I have never had this happen which is why I decided to record it.

Side note - the recording software does slow my computer response but I have cable Internet so in reality it is fast.
