Yahoo! seems to have a major re-indexing that started on April 21st. My site's been bouncing everywhere from #5 to #42. It used to be quited stable at #10.
One of the most perplexing thing to me is that the #1 site in my category seems to be immune while every other site below it is bouncing around. Is there still such a thing as a site being hard-coded into the Yahoo! serps? It's been a month now and my site seems to be going down each day.
Anyone have any thoughts bout this?

I'm not sure, but I also saw a flux on April 21 which stabilized for me for a while... until today it seems. Definate changes today.
I've seen a lot of changes today, not just my site but all the sites in the top ten for several keywords have changed.
Also a recent directory listings which was added on Friday is no longer showing.

One of the most perplexing thing to me is that the #1 site in my category seems to be immune while every other site below it is bouncing around. Is there still such a thing as a site being hard-coded into the Yahoo! serps? Given the fact that there's been a patent and a paper published that Yahoo is associated with in regard to "TrustRank" and starting with a "seed set" for link-related scoring factors that's human edited, I can't see it being impossible for there to be a "white list," so to speak, and consequently some sites that are ranked other than strictly by algorithmic means.
It's been a month now and my site seems to be going down each day.That can simply be related to competing sites moving up, as well as to algo changes.

It seems to me there is a direct tie between search engine results and paid ads on yahoo now. Do you all see that at all in the keywords you're targeting placement for?
