I've also heard from some Squidoo lensmasters who say they are now getting more referrals from Yahoo than from Google. Though this hasn't happened to me, Google still rules supreme.
All of this has come about because Yahoo have been fiddling with their algorithms. They reported the following a few days back:
"We’ve rolled out some changes to our index with fresh web data and updates to our crawling, indexing, and ranking algorithms over the last few days. We have had two updates since last November: one in December, 2008, and another in late January this year. We expect the update will be completed very soon. Throughout this process you may see some changes in ranking as well as some shuffling of the pages in the index."What we don't know, of course, is what the actual changes were and therefore it's difficult to know how we can take advantage of this.
It would be interesting though to know if anyone else has been getting increased Yahoo referrals. No doubt someone will crack the algorithm - or at least pretend/say they have.
Good luck with the referrals,
Mike.
