“Yahoo search normally moves rather slowly with small changes, but I just saw some pretty big shifts in Yahoo rankings, including:-

1. botching part of a sitewide 301 redirect that they had followed for months - now both sites rank, but each ranks well for some portion of the queries


2. a bit more weight on domain names”

Loren Baker says that the pages below 'rank higher in Yahoo again, so authority seems to be more important than keywords in the URL.

• Yahoo Directory


• Yahoo 360


• Google Groups


• Google Translate


• Topix


• About.com"

Has anyone else noticed these changes?
