Yahoo! Switches Search Engines

Giorgio Baresi writes "As several sources are reporting, Yahoo! in the last hours dumped Google and rolled out a brand new search engine mainly based on Inktomi search technology and Overture sponsored results. On Monday Yahoo! also launched its own crawler, called "Yahoo! Slurp", which replaced former "Inktomi Slurp". Hey, it seems the search engine war has begun!"

For real. I've been running dealsites.net for a while can hardly get any traffic from the search engines. My site has a lot of content, but for some reason the search bots rarely hit my site. What can I do to fix that? I've got some links to my site, but how else can I get more traffic if I can't get into the search engines? The word-of-mouth doesn't travel too fast!

You tard. Slashdot runs behind a load-balancing firewall. You didn't get near their webservers. You just ended up nmaping their router and probably got your IP shitlisted, too.

... then how come I'm still posting? :)
In any case, I would be entirely unsurprised if I had just poked their firewall. Two of the suggested options for the OS type were, after all, "router" and "broadband router". And I don't really care that I didn't get their webservers... for the same reason that I disagree with the moderation on my post. It should be Funny, not interesting... a slightly padded Beowfulf cluster joke. =b

But we digress: mod me Offtopic, if you care to throw around the modpoints.
