Yahoo Sandbox???

**ericbramlett** · 02-10-2007, 08:22 AM

IMHO, any "sandbox" is simply a lack of link maturity. As your IBL's get older, the algo's rank them higher. I don't think that G or Y simply say "this site's 2 months old, let's penalize it for 4 more months."

I can't say that I have seen any sandobxing with my sites. I generally get several sites at once on page 1 in yahoo for my terms... whereas google seems to knock them out. That said, my linking is always relevant and slow.

OK folks - the original date of this post was in 2005. In SEO terms that's ancient history. Yahoo has changed their algorithm and link strategies tenfold since then.

The biggest factor in Yahoo ranking at this time is staying away from what Yahoo perceives as being a link network.

Beware of old threads on forums. Algorithms, filters, and SEO are constantly changing, and observations and strategies from even 3 months ago may no longer be valid.

I deleted by Directory due to the google thing, since i have done that yahoo has put me in the top 5 for most of my keywords and long tials for all my sites

I believe the biggest thing would be to stay relevant. Your content, titles, Urls, inbound link text, inbound link sites, etc. This is the direction that every search engine is headed....relevancy. Try and stay away from those directories and link exchange sites.
