SEW forum posts index in both Google and Yahoo. Because of SEW’s authority, threads often rank well even in sem-contested keyword spaces.

For instance the SEW post in “Search Arbitrage Sites in the Yahoo Network:” http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showthread.php?t=16856

Does Yahoo Filter SERPs for Social Media Criticizing Yahoo?

Are Yahoo organic search results honest when it comes to social media criticizing Yahoo? Aimclear asks the question in SERP screen captures.

You don’t need to chalk it up to the difference in engines. Have you looked at the Search Engine Watch robots.txt file? DOH!

Thanks Lee…it makes me want to use dogpile too! Still, I think it’s stark that the post does not appear in the first 100 organicly indexed results.

That disparity is true with lots of queries. It’s the reason meta search engines are so popular.
