Yahoo! loving link spam - still.

I keep track of highly competitive phrases on the search engine. Every day I check out the serps for holy grail phrases in areas where webmasters are fierce and ruthless in their quest for serps.

Yahoo's serps seemed pretty reasonable until today. I checked out a couple phrases and found a huge shift in some areas - and a lot of crap in the results. Redirected sites and link spammed sites almost took over the top 20 in some areas.

I checked the links for a couple of these garbage sites and found them to have over 15K backlinks, according to yahoo - some of them were to internal pages! Over 15K links to an internal page (and a page which had no original content to speak of).

Yahoo, you suck. Just a couple months after you got rid of batches of these sites, they've been replaced. Yahoo needs to take a page out of Google's book and give incoming links a thorough going over. Maybe then Yahoo's search engines will give searchers some relevent results.
