Quote:Yahoo! has guys like Jeremy Zawodny marketing their fresh new search platform, and yet they remain behind the competition. Microsoft jumped into the search field way later than Yahoo! did, so why is it that Microsoft rankings for well promoted sites often roughly track Google rankings, while Yahoo! still has yet to give many of these sites an opportunity to rank?...

Slow at ranking new sites, slow at indexing new sites. Tongue2

but I actually think they've improved since last year (at least in terms of indexing new sites).

Interesting - in 2005, Yahoo was the first SE to index our site, while ASK was the last. On the other hand, Google has gotten much faster about crawling & indexing from just a couple years ago.

Think again Yellowtonguerazz

A perfect example of Yahoo's slow indexing of new sites:
Zen #8 (opened January 2008): Google 4,960 pages indexed;Yahoo 3 pages indexed.

It isn't a new domain name either. We registered it in 2005 and used it for our MarketWorks store for over a year.
