Re: Yahoo's difference between "websites" & "webpage" From Dale on 21 Dec '01 replying to Re: Yahoo's difference between "websites" & "webpage" posted by Dale >Might find something here, Ill dig a little bit. > >http://docs.yahoo.com/info/suggest Didnt take too long...here's the story, It is crucial to understand that Yahoo search results have several components; Yahoo Categories that match your query; Web Sites that are in the Yahoo index; and Web Pages that are drawn from the Google database. Your site may appear in a Yahoo search and not be in the index! If your site does not appear under the heading Web Sites, it isn't in Yahoo. Many people get confused by this. They see their site appear under Web Pages and think Yahoo has listed them. Not so! The reason you want to be in the Yahoo Web Sites index (and not just Google), is that Yahoo lists these results first when people do searches. For popular searches, you may have to drill down through several pages of Web Sites listings before you even see Google Web Pages results! A decent Web Sites listing in Yahoo will massively increase your traffic from Yahoo.
