Yahoo seem to suck - wierd results
What the hell is this shit? Check this SERP for the fairly high profile term “cheap flights”. It may have changed by the time you read this (I hope so), but right now, I’m seeing a wierd URL from Travelocity at #2 in the organic results, which on investigation appears to be their “JavaScript is not enabled” page. Fair do’s, their internal IT team need taking out and shooting for presenting that page to spiders, but why have Yahoo indexed that page at all? How is it that it shows up at #2 for a huge term like cheap flights, but not at all (not in the top 100, at least - I got bored looking) for a site: search? Madness
Hmmm maybe they already had a firm hand on the number 2 positions and they were just making updates and changes to the site. If yahoo doesn’t crawl it in that time then its ranking won’t change. They are still number 2 now but they have their website up and running.
