Cyclone, you will always enjoy lots of competition – Yahoo will always show ~1000 results, and all of us want to be at the top spot :Nod:
Plus, nothing lasts forever, and soon somebody will move you from the top, then the top 10, etc.
The only way you could “get your site back” is to contact Yahoo for review and possible re-inclusion.
You could get the same domain name back in a little while by adding content, changing hosting/IPs, completely re-designing, but all this is just as painfull as building a new website…
If you have just 2-3 websites, you will have to choose your search engine, because it’s almost impossible to rank top on all of them at the same time.
Yahoo is the easiest if you would like fast but temporary results, due to the large amount of spam it accepts. (Although with the recent Google update, the spam thing is true as well.)
The lack of sandbox with Yahoo is great, but do not expect to spend too much time enjoying a great ranking, for that same reason.Anyhow, if your sites rank good on Google – just “work them” for Google, and start a new website just for Yahoo.
Thanks for the tips. I’m thinking that’s what I may do — build a new site specifically for Yahoo and optimize the existing site for Google, since Google already seems to like it. I’ll add more unique content to the existing site, too; hopefully Yahoo will lift the penalty after I do this. I don’t know if it would be worth my time, though — many people on Webmaster World say that it can be very difficult to break free of the penalty. I guess it’s worth a shot.

Maybe they will and nothing does last forever but i try to stay one step ahead, and in yahoo i’ll always have less competition because sites drop like flys when they get this penalty, google isn’t using it the only other search engine that has an affiliate penalty is msn. Now its very easy to tell in msn, just search for your domain name and if you see they have your pages indexed apart from your homepage youve been caught in there filter.
Its very easy to get back into msn because has soon have you have fixed the problem they reindex you and include your homepage in a matter of days.
Changing hosting or ips wont work.
