Does Yahoo Penalize Affiliate Sites?
- Posted by Badi Jones on July 2nd, 2005 - Comment on this Post »
Lately I have seen more and more evidence that Yahoo does infact penalize affiliate sites.
I won’t mention the name of this site, but it is a very useful travel site. It has lots of good information, along with lots of affiliate links on almost every page. This site has been around for several years. It does extremely well in Google. It has over 600 pages indexed in google. Comes up in #1 in the SERPs for hundreds of very competitive keyword phrases. I would go as far as to say that this site has been “White Listed” in Google.
In Yahoo, an indexed pages search returns only 1 page. The site is nowhere to be found in the Yahoo serps.
