"my business and reputation suffers as a result of a hosting company who cant manage to keep servers going." -- no kidding, why did they pick Yahoo for hosting in the first place?? Has anyone here ever received a call from a potential client who uses Yahoo Stores and needs their site to be SEOd - what a nightmare. I couldnt help them in regards to on-site optimization much at all.
Tim -Ive been there, yes. Blech! I am seriously unimpressed with Yahoo and believe small business owners would do well to avoid hosting there. Miriam
I am gaining a lot more search traffic on Volusion related terms
I wonder if the disgruntled customers will bail from Yahoo Search Marketing (PPC) as well. It could reduce competition and thereby reduce costs for those who stick with them. Just a thought.
We actually got started optimizing Yahoo! Stores back in the day for some of their largest customers at the time (Callaway Golf, American Apparel, etc); its a nice little cottage industry.Once you figure out how to influence the html code they spit out using their RTML templates, a Yahoo! Store can quickly and effectively rank well in a short amount of time. PS: @Andy - I didnt know you were involved with Volusion.
