Default Any idea what's going on here?

I was looking at what Yahoo has cached for my website and noticed that it Yahoo has mixed up some of the graphics.

I am wondering if I have some coding issue with my home page.

Google has gotten the Cache right


Any ideas?

The caches looked the same to me but given my concerns about the point2 system I'd expect there to be problems with the indexing of the site.

Looking at the source of the page there are improvements that could be made, but I'm not sure if you can without breaking point2. You have a cost-benefit decision to make. Sometimes you just have to run with what you have and allow for imperfections...

Could you please elaborate on the improvements you would suggest. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've been told about the crappy code Point2 has & it was even mentioned by one of the Point2 people on their forums recently. However, I have no problem getting my Point2 sites indexed and ranked well. I have not felt the need to upgrade with them as of yet as I'm not happy enough with the product to do so.

They recently made some improvements (going from 30 to 250 pages per site) that might have made me change my tune if it had come sooner.

30-250 pages? Does this mean they are providing you content, or are allowing you to create that many pages? If they are providing the content I would be very concerned about duplication.

These are simply blank pages you can use to create whatever you want. Prior to this update they only offered 30 or so pages to their first upgrade status & I think 50 (I might be wrong here) to their highest upgrade. That's one of the main reasons I never upgraded with them.

I have recently had brought to my attention a Point2 site that has been banned which I will leave nameless and I can't see anything really wrong with the site except that the content they have is the same as on almost every Point2 site that I find in the search engines.

I just talked to the owner of the site, the address is www.johnsabia.com. If anyone else has any ideas please help us out.

All I can really find is that some of the content seems to be the same on every Point2 site and that there is some text on the bottom of some pages that is a little spammy but hasn't been changed in a long time.

Are you saying the site was banned from Yahoo (John Sabia)? I just checked his url & it shows pages that have been cached. Am I missing something?

For some reasons Point2 sites are doing exceptionally well in yahoo but not as well in Google with the last update.

Jason, John's site is not banned when you write John Sabia as a keyword to yahoo his site is coming up as number one. I think he has the same problem as all the new websites have with yahoo. Just SANDBOXED (like myself)
