Does Yahoo Penalize Adsense Sites?

[JerryM]

Greetings,
I'm sure Yahoo would deny it......but do you think they penalize or de-index sites whose primary monetization is Adsense?

It would be common sense Business 101 to stop creating massive earnings for your primary competition.

That being said...is there a way to keep a Yahoo spider from seeing Google Adsense on a page.....but still allow the Google spider to see it.

I'm thinking that if there is not penalties now, there may be in the near future when Yahoo has their own Adsense-type program rolled out.

Thanks,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,

It will not happend, because Yahoo! is also soon launching their Ads program like AdSense. Also I am earning good amount of money through AdSense and all my website's traffic is coming from Yahoo! and MSN and not from Google. So I think there is no problem.

Hi Guys,

I think yahoo does, for a long time i have done content sites and traffic generation sites ie TE sites, the adsense income was great from both.

My content sites, well one of them put hell of a lot of work in getting it listed for about 200 keywords in no1 position.

Got there in the end then put adsense up doing ok and stayed in no1 slots for 4 weeeks and that was two weeks ago, nothing changed apart from yahoo launches its own thing and now every keyword is on pages after page 6.

Again its annoyed me as i want to get away from TE sites and go for content but it appears all the work put in has failed as the pages disappered from the earth and well google lists them further down than yahoo.

While I put a crappy Te page up and they ge tlisted high for a little while then drop down the scales like a lead balloon.

So I think yahoo does punish you fro adsense pages and still not sure what to do carry on doing content to be dropped or te pages.

any thoughts guys,

kevin

You guys are fantasizing. I get most of my Adsense site traffic from Yahoo.

Google does probably penalize them, though.

Its seem to be true that yahoo has denied on most of the Machine Generated Website, number of pages listed was double but traffic has decreased almost 50%. Any of you face same situation with me.

I don't believe that they do. Same way I don't think Google will penalize sites that run YPN

I think the problem is more that they are generated pages, not the fact that they have AdSense on them.

I get most of my traffic from MSN and google but I also get a lot of traffic from yahoo. I guess I am way behind since I have never heard of te pages or automatically generated pages until now. I dont use them. I did have a portal site once. Is that the same? I didnt like it at all.

Yahoo does not punish.

I have a site that talks about fishing, hunting and camping. It includes articles about smallmouth bass fishing. I searched Yahoo a coupla days ago and it came up #21, and it's a fairly new site still in development.

Here's a good way to get Yahoo to keep up with your site...

Go to http://www.blogger.com

Set up a blog related to your web site. Every time you make a change on the site, go back to the blog and post about it.

Then go to http://pingomatic.com and submit your site. Do this every time you add something to the blog.

Go to my.yahoo.com and if you don't have an account with them, sign up for a free account. Otherwise, log in. You can customize your page. Go to Add Content and to the right look for RSS feeds. You can put the link for your blog in there.

Every time you post to that blog, Yahoo will update your my.yahoo page, and this cause their search engine to keep up with the site.

Again, at this point, they don't penalize. Like many people have said so far in here, I get most of my traffic from Yahoo and MSN, not Google. Go figure.

Hello,

Just wanted to know if anyone else is having the problem with adding content feeds to MyYahoo this weekend. I have several feeds up and
running on MyYahoo, but when I went to add two more this weekend
it sees the feed but does not update the site.

So I figured I would see if anyone else is having the same problem this
weekend.

All The Best,

Hi Jeffrey,

Yep, I've been having the same problem for a few days now. It's been driving me batty. Can't figure out why it's not updating.

Yahoo seems to be extremely erratic lately. Blogged and pinged one site 9/5 had 1 visit. Another site 9/9, had 1700+ visits. Neither one has any pages indexed. I don't know what's going on.

I sure hope they straighten out soon, since most (well, actually all) traffic is coming from Yahoo.

Best,
Ursula
