Yahoo has updated its search index which of course is relevant to any online business. So I had a quick look to see how SpaceRef did in this update. For our most important keyword/phrase we stayed the same, in the top ten results on page 1. For a couple of secondary keywords we went down a bit and up bit. In other words status quo. Overall I'm happy with this. Of course it's only recently that I've started paying more attention to this and actually working on improving our rankings. It's all about available time. Of note, our competitors remained pretty much the same as before except for one who fell out of the top 50 for what I consider the top keyword in our business, ouch.
Weather Report: Yahoo! Search Index Update:We rolled out an index update last night. As usual, you may see some changes in ranking as well as some shuffling of the pages that are included in the index. Those who follow these weather updates may have noticed that they are occurring more frequently; this is the result of improvements to the indexing system.
