Yahoo has made some changes to its algorithm and ranking factors. Yahoo calls its index update a weather update and Yahoo Weather updates are posted in the their Official blog by some Search Engineer.
"We'll be rolling out some changes to our crawling, indexing and ranking algorithms over the next few days, but expect the update will be completed soon. As you know, throughout this process you may see some ranking changes and page shuffling in the index. "

They put a site of mine at #8 out of 83 million and now it's sitting #9 out of 98 million pages returned. This update will be interesting to watch.
we just saw a drop in our rankings for our two main keywords.
this should be interesting to watch over the next few days...
What I have never understood is how updates are always garbage? I mean is it garbage because your site or a clients site has not made it to the top for the terms you or your client want? Are you seeing more blogs, social sites, scraper sites, sub domains? sites that are not relevant? Lets get somewhat specific on why you think that.
As for Y! accounting for traffic referrals I have seen up to 25% with google being at 50-55%. Granted, if I was hitting on those terms in Google that would have brought me 2 times that but I think people sell Y! way short especially if you can tap into local phrases that are out west in the US. The western US till goes to Y! in nice groves.
