Bing Vs Yahoo Rankings
-
I was under the impression that Bing powers yahoo search. However, I am recieving a large difference in ranking on some keywords in the two engines.
Can anyone ask what or why this is happening?
Thanks,
Brandon

Thanks for the quick reply. Any idea on what the different factors are as my rankings in Google and Bing are strong on many keywords but declining in Yahoo?

Yahoo and Bing both use the same Index, that's the portion that yahoo has licensed from bing.
As far as the ranking algorithm is concerned, yahoo uses a large amount of bing's algo, but they have built (or are going to build) a customization layer on top of the bing algorithm to change how different metrics are weighted.
Yahoo's results could differ drastically from Bing results based on the fact that they weight metrics differently.

Title Tag Capitalization Impact on SERP Rankings and Click Through Rates
My company made a branding decision to use lowercase for all of our title tags. This, of course, means that our titles on SERPs are all lower case. Overwhelmingly, it seems that websites use title case. This makes me wonder if we're shooting ourselves in the foot. Does using lower case titles negatively impact our rankings and/or click through rates? Is there any data out there suggesting that title case has a better click through rate than lower case? Thanks for reading!

Keyword Rank Dip - Estimated Wait Time to Return to Higher Spot?
The organic traffic to our site (fairly new) took a ~50% hit about a month ago due to the drop in our most important keyword. The numbers have come back up and are now exceeding the number before the dip. While this is all fine and dandy, we're still not ranking in the top 50 for our most valuable keyword. We've put out a number of guest post on reputable outside sites and are building a regular cadence of those posts, but my question is, what is the realistic wait time for those organic rankings to increase again?

I am begining to suspect that I have some sort of Google penalty but I cannot know for sure.
I believe I comply with all Google guidelines and I think the SEO is good.
Possibly the eBay affiliate links are the problem but they form a large part of the content and user experience.
The page gives a price guide for items in different conditions and has various other tools for the user. Any thought would be appreciated. Thanks for your time in advance. Alan0
