    This thread is too long. Can someone summarize the results? Perhaps a note at the beginning edited in could help future visitors to the thread?

    One question. Is any test done out in the open on a forum we know google is watching really carry any weight? Couldn't google fudge it just to send people the wrong direction?

    Summary:

    Co-op Network can be used as a weapon to get a competitor banned from Yahoo. :rolleyes:

    ...and MSN...

    I wonder? Is there anyone using alot of weight on a keyword or phrase (10000+) and still succeeding with Google?

    MSN hasn't banned the site. It still comes in and out for that term on a daily or every other day basis.

    Neither search engine has banned them...

    Yahoo: [search=yahoo]site:uccf.org[/search]

    MSN: [search=msn]site:uccf.org[/search]

    60 pages indexed in Yahoo compared to well over 300 in MSN is fairly close to a ban. But which is more accurate?

    More than twice as many pages in MSN's index for your bbayaquariums.com site. Do you feel Yahoo has banned you?

    Not exactly, because I happen to rank well for a decent search term and the site is less than a year old. So the question is who is more accurate for showing pages indexed related to actual pages? The other question is how many pages were indexed in Yahoo for that site a week ago? Is the pages indexed dropping? Will it be less a week from now. An indication to me that a site has been "banned" is when it gets down to showing only the homepage indexed in Yahoo.

    No idea about what the index or rankings were in Yahoo/MSN before. For all I know, they could have gone up. This thread really had nothing to do with Yahoo or MSN, just Google (see first post).

    I understand that. While trying an experiment with Google it helped to possibly discover something else with Yahoo and MSN. :D

    Ya, I can see that MSN is still ranking OK but Yahoo seems to be doing the same thing in SERPS that DP (and my site) is doing :confused:.

    I just read a few pages on this thread. Sorry for not reading all 40, but I'm looking to aquire the complete details on this threads findings(keyword which was finally choosen | previous and present rank | was there much to learn of this experiment? ;) :D I'll keep reading the rest of the pages, though it'd probably help the rest of the members which may have not stuck with reading the whole 40.

    I would suggest reading the whole thread would provide the best information. Much better than a summary.

    Read up until you know what the thread is about, then skim through the rest of the pages.

    You have to admit though, this is a long thread. It is reaching the size of a small novel.:D

    I read the whole "A nice tool Shawn didn't write" thread so I have no sympathy for someone who thinks this thread is too long:p :D
