Yahoo Guru's I have a Question...Please read

[rmasse10]

Ok, now that I have your attention, can someone please explain to me why there would be a differrence between say Yahoo (usa) and Yahoo (canada)...just for example, in addition to all the other locations out there.

I rank in usa, cant find myself at all in canada, etc.

why is that and how does one fix that

please let me know

[Joe Cline Austin]

I have no idea. I just ran my two top keywords and I do better in Canada than I do in the US. go figure.

Exactly...go figure, hopefully someone here that understands yahoo far more than me, or even slighly more than me, will have the answer. Whatever the case may be, I submitted to yahoo canada to see what the effect is...

[rmasse10]

For all of you that arent sure what I am talking about...try this
do a search at yahoo.com for your keywords and see where you come up
then go to yahoo.ca (canada) and try the same search again to see what happens

If I'm not mistaken, it may be similar to G's data center searches.

Different data centers produce different results.

[rmasse10]

I'm thinking thats the case as well, except that the google servers are relatively close from server to server...this is way off so not sure what the deal is

different DC data. only Yman can know exactly

[Dallas Broker]

interesting, for dallas real estate I am #1 in yahoo.com and #2 for ca.yahoo

[rmasse10]

no one likes a show off

[jseville]

Dallas Broker was not showing off was he? Just comparing search data per your requested info. To jump to that conclusion implies some self worth issues does it not, rmasse10? If you want to be negative when people try to participate in answering your question comparing data and stories then why bother posting here at all? Give me a break.
