Yahoo/Altavista/alltheweb to merge ?
A webmaster on another board heard that Yahoo could soon be rolling out it's Yahoo index to be used by Altavista and Alltheweb.

Apparently when the webmaster contacted a Yahoo rep regarding this, he was told;

Quote:
"Yes we will be moving AltaVista and Alltheweb to use the new Yahoo Search Platform in the coming weeks. It will not be Inktomi"


Has anyone else got any info on this ?

I sure do Whitey! Please check out my article called Yahoo Prepares to Enter the Search Engine Wars

I just returned from the WebmasterWorld Conference in Orlando, FLA where Tim Mayer of Yahoo was the keynote speaker. I assembled the article from his speech. Let me know what you think.

He also indicated that he was having employees go through and make sure that everyone who has a Yahoo Directory listing now will also be spidered and indexed.


About freakin time! You would think after dishing out 299 you would at least be in the index.

Mayer also made it clear that no one who bought PFI from Altavista or AllTheWeb would be "screwed" by Yahoo. He said their PFI would be honored until the end of the term.


I'm sure thats good news for many users. What about sites that never paid but are in the Ink index??? Will they stay or be dumped?

He didn't specifically address that, but I'm thinking it's very likely everyone who paid stays in.

I'm sure he realizes how bad they would look otherwise. If you paid, you're in.

I certainly hope Yahoo doesn't ruin All the Web and AV with all that junk supposedly not from Inktomi. The sky is falling.

That's a great scoop LilOptimizer, (short, sweet and to the point), one part of the article that particulary caught my eye was ;

Quote:
They are focused on using similar signal qualities as Google, who Mayer referred to as "the third party provider".


hmmmm.........

I guess they were third party to Yahoo for awhile especially when they were showing good relevant results instead of their crappy results now.

I wonder if Google calls them YaWho?

Wow that was bad

According to an email sent out recently, previous PFI would appear in Yahoo! until April 15th 2004 at which time they must sign up for Yahoo! PFI inclusion to avoid being dropped. I verified this with a phone call to Ink.

I have received no correspondance that would indicate that their plans have changed.

I hope he was not just "blowin smoke up your skirt". I won't get my hopes up...
