Yahoo Local rejected because of office in residence
-
I have a client with an office in their home.
Yahoo Local has rejected it 3 times for No Physical Location
The location is correct, they are listed correctly in just about every reputable local directory available including Google Places.
They do see clients at their home office.
Any suggestions?
Should they pay the $300 for the Yahoo Directory?
Should they the $9.95 for the enhanced local listing?
Thanks in advance...

Good luck!

Thank you very much. I will give that a try and update this response.
We are installing a new theme tomorrow and I want to wait for the improved format.

Hi Cozy Web,
Before you take any paid steps, I think you should phone Yahoo. I believe these are the numbers:
1-866-562-7219 or 1-866-562-7228Unlike Google, Yahoo offers phone support. Present your case to the tech and ask what you should do, as the business is listed without problem in all other directories. This is what I would do.

Best way of handling top level domains (with a local twist)
Hi There, We're about to develop a new website for a small company who operates in both New Zealand and Australia. The company has a foot in the door with major Australian distribution so is keen to build their brand there - almost all of the marketing budget will go into Australia this year. 1. Domains and websites: We're thinking of using separate country domains (.co.nz and .com.au) along with the CMS to create 2 sites that will have: Content common to both countries and sites (about, story, product info) Country specific content (contacts, tastings, competitions and other promo) Headers and footers of each page will contain different content for each site I guess we're worried about creating a duplicate content issue as both sites will have several pages that are identical (although different info will be in the headers and footers on every page). Also, using www.brand.com/aus might not be a great option (perception-wise) when the competition will be using .com.au. And creating and maintaining different content for both sites will drain too much budget away from Adwords and marketing. 2. The effect on SEO and Adwords: If the www.brand.com/aus approach is simply better, are there any implications if all the advertised domains (especially in Adwords) redirect like this?

www.brand.com.au -> www.brand.com/aus
www.brand.co.nz -> www.brand.com/nz How would everyone recommend approaching this? As you can tell, we're a bit unsure and want to get this right from the start - any pointers in the right direction would be very much appreciated. Cheers Ben0 -

BOTW, Yahoo Directory and Joeant - Unnatural linking, surely?
Hi, I have been reading with interest that many SEOmoz forum members still believe that a link in BOTW, Yahoo Directory and Joeant can still add value to a linking strategy. It's my understanding that the Penguin update was designed to stop unnatural linking and link buying but Google does still seem to place some kind of value (although potentially diminished) in these directories despite them being pretty much exclusively paid for links. What am I missing here and in a money no object world would you guys still consider them part of a good linking strategy? Many thanks

Yahoo Showing Adwords URLS in Organic Results
a client is getting adwords campaign url's showing up high in the SERPs, like 2 spots under the original page. The actual unique page is number one, and number three is the same page except the url is pulled from and adwords click My guess is that yahoo is crawling adsense and mistakenly following it as a link. It's crazy that it ranks on the 3rd page though... At the same time I have recently seen 25 pages deindexed in Google! How could this happen - could these two be related. I read this forum post about similar things happening in yahoo to their site Could this be a duplicate content issue (copyscape is showing no duplicate content) or are my pages getting indexed for some other reason?
