Yahoo has done some changes in the way they rank pages. They have just announced their latest search index update in their blog.
Quote from the blog:
( We’ll be rolling out some changes to our crawling, indexing and ranking algorithms over the next few days, but 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. )
So if your site was ranked well or not well in Yahoo, be prepared for a change. It also could be that you may not see much difference in the traffic you received from Yahoo. I think those who are honest and follow the right SEO techniques may have nothing to worry. Only if you are a spammer, you need to worry.
Please don’t confuse this with the statement by Adobe that Google and Yahoo will now be able to index Flash files.
This index update is an independent one, and has nothing to do with Yahoo being able to crawl Flash files.

Hi,
My name is Dilip Shaw and I own this blog.
In this blog you will learn about:
1) Search engine optimization techniques (organic or non-paid search ie.. where you try to rank your site in top ranks in the search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Of course you do not pay any money for any visitor.)
2) PPC or Pay Per Click search (Sponsored search or Paid search where you pay the search engine that sends you traffic for every visitor).
3) Website Conversion Improvement – getting visitors to your site is not enough. If you get thousands of visitors everyday but few or none take the desired action you want – you are actually getting zero visitors. So getting visitors and converting them as a prospect customer is important in any online business. I will discuss in detail about how you can change and test a few things on your site to get the desired result and keep improving.
4) How to use web analytics to improve conversions.
5) And anything interesting in search engine marketing world.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand a thing or two. We all started like this but soon understood how complex (or easy?) the world of search engine marketing is.
Please keep coming back to read my blog. I assure you, if you keep reading you will definitely enhance your knowledge in search engine marketing.
