Has anyone here successfully been accepted into Yahoo News?
-
I've tried applying a couple times through their form over the last six months with no response.
Has anyone here been accepted as a news source, and if so, what did you do?
To clarify, I mean accepted into the Yahoo News index (submission form here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/news_global/submitsource.html?from_url=http%3A%2F%2Fhelp.yahoo.com%2Fkb%2Findex%3B_ylt%3DAm2jThOClBnKBsnrNsRjE6a5OSV4%3Fpage%3Dproduct%26amp%3By%3DPROD_NEWS%26amp%3Blocale%3Den_US&last_url=http%3A%2F%2Fhelp.yahoo.com%2Fkb%2Findex%3B_ylt%3DAm2jThOClBnKBsnrNsRjE6a5OSV4%3Fpage%3Dproduct%26amp%3By%3DPROD_NEWS%26amp%3Blocale%3Den_US)
We've already been accepted into Google News and Bing News, but not Yahoo News

Yoast platinum, news plug-in & meta properties
I have followed some of the discussions about Yoast and the news plug-in, but have not found specific information about the use of meta properties. One of our competitors is successfully using about 15 meta properties to gain news ranking. They list the publisher as Facebook. Is this coding part of the Yoast package or hard coding? As an example:

Has anyone ever seen this canonicalization problem with Google?
I recently move my site (www.leatherhidestore.com/servlet/StoreFront) off of the ProStores platform because I could never get Google to show my homepage in SERP results - instead always selecting random product pages to rank. However, I never had this problem with Yahoo and Bing as they always defaulted to the homepage except when the category was a better match. Fast forward and I have just launched the site (www.leatherhidestore) on Magento Community and I STILL CANNOT GET GOOGLE TO USE MY HOMEPAGE FOR SERP RESULTS although I'm getting okay SERPS for random pages.....ERRRRRR! Of course, as if to rub salt in the wound, Yahoo and Bing are behaving just perfect. Still, I must think that if my Google would recognize my homepage (where the PR is and backlinks point to) I would be doing 10x better. I am showing duplicate page content and title problems which the developer is trying to solve but I do not know if this will fix the homepage Google issue. I feel like I must be in some sort of canonicalization death spiral. Has anybody dealt with this issue before and will mercifully share what I should do to fix it...please! Hunter

Does Bing(and Yahoo)Crawl AJAX Based Content?
I found this article and Bing appeared to at this time have a checkbox for the option for AJAX handling although looking at the Bing Webmaster Tools it doesnt appear that this option is available. Has it just been completely integrated now, relieving webmaster from needing to check the option or is it no longer supported? http://searchengineland.com/bing-now-supports-googles-crawlable-ajax-standard-84149

What do you do with outdated news and articles?
What do you guys do with your old content/news/articles? Do you just leave them on your site forever for historical reasons? It goes without saying that you wouldn't delete an article that has links pointing to it. But if there aren't any links, it doesn't rank and it doesn't receive traffic… do you just scrap it? How say you? Update: I would also like to throw in that I have a client who in 2006/2007 used content from another site. What would you do with that content after this amount of time? Bother with it?

Bing/Yahoo! Updates
On March 27th I noticed a huge rankings drop across the board on a client site in Bing and Yahoo! After some research, I found this article on SEOroundtable (it also links back to a Webmaster World discussion). For this particular site we're talking a few dozen of keywords dropping off the first page, or even from the first page dropping out of the top 50. The only thing not affected were brand keywords. The site was recently relaunched, and has a fairly weak backlink profile right now. It doesn't use keywords in the domain (which was one of the things identified in the SEOroundtable article). Has anyone else noticed changes? If so, what do you attribute them to and how are you combating them?

How would you optimise a news website?
I have been asked for advice on how to optimise a news website whose keywords, almost by definition, change every day according to the articles being written. How would you, for example, do SEO for the NYtimes.com? Great content and subsequent links I'm sure take care of themselves. Just onsite then? If so.... what?
