Updates In Yahoo Search

Many webmasters at WebmasterWorld are talking about Yahoo Search update. According to them, Yahoo Search is updating its index and algorithm. However, officially it has not been confirmed yet! Below are some of the important points from the WebmasterWorld thread:

  1. Link counts have seen some amount of drop.
  2. Canonical issues are also discussed.
  3. One person is reporting “I am seeing two different titles and descriptions for singular vs. plural of my main keyword. It’s the same URL, so kind of odd.”

Even though Yahoo! has not announced the update officially, but the Yahoo Search Japan blog announced it. Here is the translation
