Yahoo looks to Google for partnerships

Expectation that Yahoo chief executive Jerry Yang has another strategy up his sleeve could help mitigate a steep descent for the companys shares today, but he will face angry questions from shareholders if nothing materializes.

Yahoo! Search Index Update

coolslko — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 05:22:53 -0700

Recently last week yahoo updated its search index and therefore people have seen some changes in ranking and indexing of their sites.

Acoording to Priyank Garg & Sharad Verma from Yahoo search-"Over the next few days, well be rolling out some changes to our crawling, indexing and ranking algorithms. While we expect the update will be completed soon, as you know, throughout this process you may see some ranking changes and page shuffling in the index.

Also, some of you pointed out some issues with Deleting URLs in Site Explorer a few days ago. This has now been addressed and your Deletes should continue to work on Site Explorer."

Yahoo releases a new web page spider

coolslko — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 04:56:39 -0700

Recently yahoo released a new web page spider- Slurp 3.0

This new Yahoo! Slurp 3.0 recognizes the same user-agent and all robots.txt directives for Yahoo! Slurp, though itll identify itself as Slurp 3.0 in your web logs.

People will see some changes because of this new web page spider as mentioned below by Sharad Verma from Yahoo Search.

"a) The crawlers will start crawling from a different and much smaller set of IP addresses, but itll still be from the crawl.yahoo.net domain. Any reverse DNS checks to identify our crawler will continue to work. Please note that if youre using IP-based recognition of our crawlers, you might see a drop in crawl/coverage from Yahoo! We strongly recommend that you move to reverse DNS-based identification of Yahoo! Slurp if youre using any other method to avoid this problem. The current set of IPs will disappear from your web logs in the next several weeks.

b) The crawlers will also publish a new user-agent, Yahoo! Slurp/3.0. Existing robots.txt directives for Slurp or Yahoo! Slurp will continue to work, but if you have directives specific to Slurp/2.0, they wont be recognized by the new crawler (though usage of the Slurp/2.0 user-agent is very rare on the web, so you wont likely be affected). We recommend specifying the shorter version of: User-agent: Slurp. Check out "How do I prevent my site or certain subdirectories from being crawled?" on our Help page for more details.

These changes will affect the main Yahoo! Web Search crawlers. Crawlers that similarly respect the Yahoo! Slurp directive but identify themselves more specifically, such as Yahoo! Slurp China and others, will not be impacted."
