Hi,

We were banned from yahoo in the 20 sept shakeup, and we received a conformation from yahoo with their email saying that we may have been penalized etc...

They offer to ask for reinclusion request, so we are working on getting better quality on my pages.

I think that the problem may be that the pages are over-optimized in yahoo"s point of view,
any one share this diagnostic or do you see any major errors and bad practices on the site?
Thanks

Here is the adress, and thanks to take the time to leave those constructive comments,

Excellent day,

Looks kind of made-for-Adsense. Rather, it looks too much like it's been made for Adsense. ;) I would certainly be looking to either decrease the amount of ads on the site or increase the amount of *quality* content.

Hi Marketing guy,

First, thanks to take the time to help me.

I undestand that the adsense we use is too much... I agree, I think the side bar skycrapper is too much..

Also, the format pushed a lot of adsense ads on the upper page.

Have you visited some article pages or just the home page?

Do you think the content is adequate?

Thanks

Your site scares me - everywhere I go I'm being attacked by Adsense! :P

Nope didnt see the articles. Couldn't find the articles. All I could see were links to links pages. To be perfectly honest the content looks like an afterthought stuffed in after the adverts and it really should be the other way around.

I don't think over-optimisation is really the issue - it's more under-designed. Needs more unique, useful content, otherwise it's just a series of optimised pages with links and adverts.

You should think more in terms of what it is Yahoo (or any SE) actually wants in their index - it's not perfectly crafted SEO sites - it is good information.

If you go the 80% SEO / 20% content route then you're in for a rollercoaster ride. But the 20% SEO / 80% content focus will lead to much more stable rankings (and income).

I'm not going to be a tit and prattle on about content being king blah blah blah, but it looks like you've spent more time on SEO than your content, which is kinda like spending more time on advertising than product development, design, accountancy, manufacture, etc - all very well if you can get away with it. But most folks can't. ;)
