Ranking Experiment

Yikes That is sad . I hope it's a shuffle and still shuffling Right off the map

On the other hand the experimental site has room to climb and seems to still be doing that.

 

i don't think many peoples' yahoo serp decreases are coop related ... my big coop sites (4 different sites checked that have a lot of reliance on coop) are still on the top of the pile on yahoo.

i dunno homer ... the combo of coop and lv is kicking butt for me. (before any of you complain - ads not hosted on the same site.)

with over 2000 static links from LV (as of today) in addition to my coop weight, i'm really noticing some serious impact on the serps.

 

I checked my yahoo today. It dropped, lots of keywords are gone today. They aren't in the coop, so I know its not that. Something else is up at yahoo. Never drove traffic anyways, so I'm not going to sweat it too much.

 

What weight was used to get this site up in Googles SERP's for the kw 'Charity' ?

Sorry if i missed it, i read 5 pages & got fed up

 

Roughly 10,000.

 

hrm gives me an idea

 

Just noticed our test site has now fallen out of Yahoo (not in the top 100 results for the term charity).

 

Interesting, My result has been the same. I did have alot of COOP weight pointing to it 1 month ago but hardly any now.

 

well that was a whole 4 days ago ... having trouble finding 3 of my top yahoo players all of a sudden.

 

I was just about to post when I read your first thread that I'll bet you'll see them drop.

 

Well I expected this website to still hit the Sandbox, but reading those pages, it didnt hit it?

 

So is everyone, including the "charity" dropping from yahoo?

 

It looks like my sites using co-op have dropped off Yahoo (it used to be ranked top 3) and my sites that are not in co-op (now using Link Vault) are still on top in Yahoo. Is this coincidence or is this a new Yahoo co-op filter we're experiencing?

 

Charity site is still in Google, nr18
Charity site is not in Yahoo, checked first 500 results.....

About 7 weeks the same happened to me, got penalized by Yahoo while Google rankings kept on climbing(while using co-op)

Just noticed a strange thing though, when checking my rankings with the Keyword Tracker my Yahoo results are back in top10's again! Not sure if this is caused by really old(7 weeks+) results returned by the Keyword Tracker or that my site is back in Yahoo again, as normal results are not showing them....

 

Anybody know the Charity ranking in Yahoo before this experiment?

 

Like almost everyone else - all my sites that are using Co-op ads have been heavily hit by Yahoo's latest moves.

Has anyone asked the folks at Yahoo if use of co-op advertising is grounds for being thrown out of the Yahoo SERPs?

I for one am not interested in falling out of favor with Yahoo.

Also - has anyone checked with Google to make sure this wont happen with them?

I have seen no decline with sites in Yahoo + coop - seems to be fine so far (but I dont have that much weight).

Good luck in getting an answer.

They will never tell you. They may say that link schemes are grounds for a penalty or a ban, but they won't address coop specifically.

 

Same here. As a matter of fact, Y! seems to be the engine to "apreciate" the most my coop link .

 

Just curious, how much weight do you have pointing to your sites?
