Aaron Wall noticed Major Yahoo! Ranking Changes.

“Yahoo search normally moves rather slowly with small changes, but I just saw some pretty big shifts in Yahoo rankings, including:-

1. botching part of a sitewide 301 redirect that they had followed for months - now both sites rank, but each ranks well for some portion of the queries
2. a bit more weight on domain names”

Loren Baker says that the pages below 'rank higher in Yahoo again, so authority seems to be more important than keywords in the URL.

• Yahoo Directory
• Yahoo 360
• Google Groups
• Google Translate
• Topix
• About.com"

Has anyone else noticed these changes?
