199 out of 200 listings in the Yahoo directory are supplemental

Written by

The great majority of the Yahoo directories listings are in the supplemental index. Here is some basic data:

  1. Pages indexed in Google: 1,910,000
  2. Yet on the results page 950 (Yahoo Directory in the supplemental index) the dreaded supplemental result tag appears.
  3. Thats approx 10,000 out of almost 2 million pages not supplementally indexed.
  4. So 199 out of 200 listings in the Yahoo directory are supplemental!

This raises a series of questions.

  1. Why are pages in the yahoo directory in the supplemental index?
  2. Does this mean that Yahoo should cut its price for the ´´review´´?
  3. Will Google remove there explicit recommendation in google webmaster guidelines concerning the yahoo directory?
  4. Does this mark the end of the directory niche?
