I’ve been trying this strategy for the last week for a newer site I launched a few months ago and just saw our site move from 300 to 100 for our main keyword in Yahoo.

No I have not seen any huge changes with PFI/SSP but it wouldn’t surprise me if they changes a category algo.

A few months back they nuked the category we where in but our rankings came back a few months later. I know their PFI algos are different than their organic Algos and I am pretty sure each PFI category algo can be adjusted independently of other categories.

There has been major algo changes on Yahoo over the past few months.

It appears that it is focused on lessening the SEO benefits of common backlinks and their anchor text.

But even more extreme is the sharp ending of the experiment of incorporating Social Sites into the SERPs.

They were just too spammy and unpredictable

It was not the magic bullet it appeared.

During SES2008 NYC , the keynote speaker announced the debut of this new algo – but did not take questions.

That is the problem with Yahoo – they are just too aloof from the public – compare this to Google’s strategy of making the Webmasters their consultants
