      Two days  ago I went from ranking outside the top 50 to ranking  #1 and #4 for two great terms on Yahoo.  Now two days later I don't rank in the top 50 again.  I sure wish I knew what that blip on the radar was all about.  It would be great to get ranked again.  Seems like a mystery.  I have not heard of this happening on Yahoo before.  Maybe it was a problem with the open link explorer?  Anyone see this happen before?

      Thank you,

      Boodreaux

        The more I've worked with search engines, the more you get used to the occasional 'blip' in your rankings. The Bing/Yahoo algorithm seems to yield particular inconsistent rankings as well.

        I would suggest that if you were out the top 50 before and now, ignore the sudden great rankings and work on your on-page and off-page optimisation.

        Bear in mind Yahoo & Bing share data and Bing (as with Google) uses social signals, so up your social media game and interaction (in a non-spammy way).

        No easy route to the top I'm afraid, just hard work, but work done in the right direction 🙂
