Question

Why has my site gone from yahoo search engine listing?

Answer 1

The most common reason for unlisting of a search result may be due to:

1.  The expiration of a domain name;

2.   Appearance of incomplete links to other websites;

3.   Failure to complete the properties settings on an opening Flash Splash Page or subsequent subwebpages which prevents movement of the search robot;

4.   Misuse of multiple frames which is not indexable by Google robots; and

5.   Having a cloaked or misdirected website which does not truly reflect the relevant descriptive metatags such as <Title>, <Description>.

While the simpliest answer is that your website and more particularly, your opening index.html webpage contains some sort of spamdexed entries [i.e., duplicative, loaded metatag entries which exceed the search engine algorithm].  And someone [perhaps a Yahoo editor or a third-party SEO] has discovered and reported this violation which results in your  website being removed from Google's search consideration.  Unfortunately, Google does not notify the offending spamdexer [by email or any other means] about any infraction and merely removes the offender's website.  Anyone can remedy and correct these failings.  And republish their domain name on Google.com at any time.
