InactiveI am sorry for posting something that has nothing to do with gambling. But here it is, Yahoo will not index me and I can’t figure it out. I have sent in several emails and this is their last response:
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to write us.
It has been determined that your site may not comply with Yahoo!’s
Content Quality Guidelines located at:http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/deletions/deletions-05.html.
Below are some answers to common questions regarding this issue:
Q: What are some of the common reasons that a site may violate Yahoo!’s
Content Quality Guidelines?A: Yahoo!’s Content Quality Guidelines (link above) outline what we are
and are not looking for in pages that we index. Listed below are some of
the more common examples of how a site may violate these guidelines:– Cloaking (showing crawlers deceptive content about a site)
– Massive domain interlinking- Use of affiliate programs without the
addition of substantial unique content
– Use of reciprocal link programs (aka “link farms”)
– Hidden text
– Excessive keyword repetitionQ: If my site violates Yahoo!’s Content Quality Guidelines, can I still
use the Search Submit inclusion program?A: All pages submitted to Search Submit are editorially reviewed. If a
site has is not in compliance with the content policy guidelines, it is
likely to be rejected by the Search Submit program.Q: If my site violates Yahoo!’s Content Policy Guidelines, can I use the
Yahoo! Directory Submit program?A: The Yahoo! Directory and Yahoo! Search Index are different systems.
Inclusion or exclusion from one does not affect the other.Q: How can I have my site re-reviewed?
A: Please review our content quality guidelines to make sure that your
site meets all of them. When you feel the site is ready, please complete
the form located at:http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/ysearch/cgi_rereview
to request a re-review of your site. You may wish to include an
explanation of unique features on your site, or details of changes to
your site’s content that may assist our editors in their evaluation.Please allow several weeks for the review process, YST indexing, and a
complete refresh of the database before checking http://search.yahoo.com
to see if your site is listed in the Yahoo! Search Index. We do not
offer specifics detailing how an individual site is not in compliance
with our guidelines, but we will review your site individually. You will
not be receiving further notification regarding your request for a
second review, and we are not able to offer the option of another
review.Thank you for taking the time to make the Yahoo! Search Index even
better.There was a time I was fully indexed position 25 and climbling then all of sudden wammo, gone. My friends can’t even figure it out either. The funny thing is in four months I have attainned a pr4 with google and rank high on other search engines. I am stupid? here is my link http://www.onlinegambling7.com

InactiveIt looks to me (at first glance) that there are an awful lot of outbound affiliate links from your index page. I think that “could” trigger a flag in Yahoo’s algorithm that your site is an “affiliate link farm”. (I think the item on the list that this would fall under is Massive domain interlinking- Use of affiliate programs without the addition of substantial unique content
I count about 96 affiliate links to casino on the righthand navbar. Then you have 7 banner ads for casinos in addition to that.
Then it looks like you have about 500 or so words of content on that page.
I think that could cause an algorithm to say, “Hmm. That’s an unusual number of affiliate links compared to the amount of content no the page.”
What you might consider doing is linking each of those casino names to a casino review page for each casino. Or simply reduce the number of casinos that you’re advertising on that page. The other thing you could do is rewrite or write more content on the page, so that you have a higher ratio of content to affiliate links.
A human editor reading your content probably wouldn’t find it “substantial” or “unique”. So if you’re going to actually use the form to resubmit, you should consider the content pretty carefully.
You also need a lot more backlinks to your site.

InactiveYou might also reconsider bolding so many keyword phrases on your homepage too.
I hope that helps.
