Hello!
Sorry, if this has already been asked/answered.

I have registered a domain and created a new website one month ago. It's typically on a WP blog. The search engines have found it and ripped some sites. I have been listed in some of them - Yahoo and MSN, however it looks like the pages doesn't rank for any keyword they are targeted to. This week I have noticed that on some Yahoo datacenters, for ex. mx.search.yahoo.com my website ranks for those keywords, but on www.yahoo.com I get no rank.

I have also another similar website created one month ago, however it doesn't rank at all - even on mx.search.yahoo.com.

So the question would be - do Yahoo have somekind of aging filters built in? If so, maybe you know how much time does it take to start ranking in Y! ?
Does it mean that if my website ranks on mx datacenter, it will probably rank on www.yahoo.com ?

I have also noticed that Yahoo is very slow indexing websites. Is it necessary to use any blog & ping application to get the bots to spider deeper pages, even though the website is based on Wordpress blog?

Thank you

Hi,

I've found in the past that with a new site I can rank really well in Yahoo for a month and then lose rankings and have to wait almost exactly 6 months before I'm back.

If you rank in well in mx.yahoo.com but not in yahoo.com, then it's very likely a boost for hosting your site in that country (mexico?).

I don't have any evidence that Yahoo have a problem with Wordpress sites, quite the opposite, but we'd need your urls to check this.

Cheers,
Paz.
