Yahoo! Search Algorithms Update

Yahoo! has been rolling out some changes to its fresh web data and crawling, indexing and ranking algorithms over the last few days. As per Yahoo! Search blog the update will be completed by the weekend. So, as you know, throughout this process you may see some changes in ranking as well as some shuffling of the pages in the index.

I think Yahoo! will now give more value to authority inbound links but still content will be the king. So keep your eyes on updates and watch what Yahoo! Wants.

Yahoo! Search Marketing SmartAds

Yahoo has launched Yahoo SmartAds, a new, innovative advertising platform that allows advertisers to deliver powerful, tailored display ads to their targeted audiences. We hope Yahoo SmartAds will give higher click-through rates than static, non-customized display ads using the same targeting and placement.

SmartAds combine Yahoo!’s leading consumer insights and rich media capabilities with new ad serving technology that automatically converts marketers’ creative campaign elements and targeted offerings into highly-customized and relevant display ads.

“Yahoo!’s SmartAds give marketers what they want from online advertising: the ability to deliver customized marketing messages to consumers, and still engage very large audiences with their brand,” said Todd Teresi, Yahoo!’s senior vice president of display marketplaces.
