Yahoo Reindexing?

[dcabbar]

Hi,

My site, was somehow added to the Yahoo index while URLs had query parameters in them. Hence, it only indexed the main page, but nothing else. Then, I changed my site to remove these query parameters, and specify them as folders using apache rewrite. So, my URLS look like:

/content/blogcategory/74/54/

When do you thin Yahoo will update this change? The weird thing is that when I search something about my site, I see two urls: main page and another page with query parameters. But, when I go to the page cached but yahoo, none of the URLS there are in query parameter format, but rather folder format that I explained above.

Am I doing something wrong here, or does it take Yahoo too long to update their index?

Thanks...

Yahoo's index is constantly updated. I've noticed that my new posts on my blog reach the index within 48 hours. For example, today March, 18th, my post from March 16th is visible in the index. The update frequency is probably different for different sites, since they can't crawl the entire web overnight.

You can add blogs to "My Yahoo" so my assumption is that blogs may be updated a bit differently than other types of pages. It's just an assumption, but you might want to check into a rewrite solution to deal with the possibililty of duplication of some of the older pages.
