Default Yahoo results anomally when searching UK sites - 08-07-2003 , 08:59 AM






I just did a search for my site on Yahoo (all the web) for "washing
machine reviews" and I'm number one (I'm no 2 and 3 on Google)

Yahoo gave me the option to search "UK only sites" and as I am in the
UK, I tried this and was surprised to find my site not listed apart
from an entry at number 12 for a page that has nothing to do with
washing machine reviews at all.

This page is just about DIY repair help I've given. I have several
pages on washing machine reviews yet none are listed on the UK only
search for Yahoo.

Can anyone suggest how this could be and how to fix it please? It
doesn't make any sense to me.

My understanding is that the SE's know which country you are based in
from the IP's. My site IS listed on the UK Yahoo search but with a
page that has nothing to do with washing machine reviews.
