Yahooooooo!

Great news for Pin Bottle! We jumped from 126 to #3 in Yahoo. Does Yahoo use a sandbox? I'm awfully curious as to why the sudden jump. The change occured after Yahoo's last visit to our site. I did add some content and make some minor changes, but I can't imagine it was enough to cause such a dramatic jump (chances are it's just a coincidence). I must admit, I know very little about Yahoo optimization, since I focus most of my efforts on the search engine king Google, but I can't figure this one out. Was there a particular back-link that weighed heavily that wasn't discovered until recently? Did I hit some magic number for keyword density when I tweaked my pages? Regardless, it's certainly nice to rank in Yahoo finally!

On a side note, I recently read an article that talked about the relationship between Google's sandbox and Adwords. it's main point was this: While you suffer, Google benefits tremendously from it's sandbox program:
1) New websites will not rank organically due to the sandbox program.
2) New companies who want to be found in Google will have to use Adwords.

Securing you as a customer is the hardest part, keeping you is easy......

Google has created an effective strategy to gain new customers.
