Yahoo

IMHO, it’s the best SE for the affiliates, for several reasons:

1. It does refresh content once every 3 months, where Google would require an year or so to refresh A LITTLE BIT of it’s content…” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

2. Yahoo gives you the fastest path from 0 to top10. I am honestly sick of Google’s sand boxing and sh*t.

3. The “drunkness” of the bot definitely keeps you at your toes.

4. Local results – yahoo.ca and yahoo.com show different results, unlike Google. MSN is also being very good at showing different results in different countries.

My opinion is that Google totaly sux, and this explains the continuous popularity of Yahoo and the increase in traffic to MSN. If Google doesnt pull its head out of its a**, I dont give it more than an year before the websearch drops drastically…

Google has a good algorithim, MSN can be friendly to the new sites, but Yahoo is just a bunch of spammy results – especially if you’re searching for gambling/poker related websites. It’s a black hat paradise, for sure. And if anyone got to the top of the Yahoo SERPs, a competitor can file a DCMA violation and get you kicked out of the SERPs without being given the chance for a rebuttal.

In my opinion, the only thing Yahoo is good for is to get a good idea of the number of your backlinks.

Their spamminess is disgusting though.

The guy who claims (and it’s only one guy I have heard of) that his site was pulled because someone turned him in and yahoo won’t even talk to him – it was his one decent site and all others were black hat. Yahoo wants no part of him.

That’s the story I heard. He started all kinds of rumors as revenge and to try to use pressure to get readmitted.

Yahoo needs to get rid of Blackhatters one way or another. Their results are disgusting and I am not surprised they don’t have a good share of the search market. Their results are more often than not crap.

:bullshit:

Hey by the way, what is a “blackhatter” site? I heard that term alot, but I dont know what it is yet.
