Yahoo Update July 2008

Yahoo Update July 2008


Yahoo recently announced an update in their algorithm and warned people they may see fluctuations in rankings. Google also reportedly made over 45 tweaks to their algorithm last month. There is a lot of fluctuation going on in the search engine results right now.

If you have considered optimizing your site now would be a good time to do it.

You see when rankings fluctuate many of the same sites will end up returning to their past position after things settle - so while this fluctuation is going on it's actually the perfect time for a new site to swoop in with a newly optimized site and try to take over some of those rankings.

If you are handling your own site, make sure you stay aware of fluctuations in the algorithms! Staying current is really important in the SEO world.
