Not An SEO Expert

Tim Mayer just posted in the Yahoo search blog that the Y! is making an index change tonight.

“You should see some changes in ranking as well as some shuffling of the pages that are included in the index. This update will be complete by tomorrow (Monday) morning.�

My main site made a big jump in this update, moving from 20th to 5th for my main keyword phrase as well as some nice improvements on many secondary search terms. I am knocking on wood as I type this, as morning is not quite here yet.

This is the second Yahoo update in the last couple weeks and they’ve come and gone with barely a whisper. The whole of the internet world seems to be focused on the so called Jagger update that Google is still dragging out. The SERPs have changed more on Yahoo over that time period than Google in the markets I follow and yet webmasters and SEOs are fixated on Google datacenter watching. This more than any search engine market share stats should tell you how strong Google really is.
