Advice from Google on optimizing your site for their search
engine
NEWS FLASH: Effective 18 February 2004, Yahoo abruptly
quit using Google as a search partner. Yahoo's search services
are now wholly operated by their own search facilities. Yahoo
replaced Google's results with its own Yahoo Search Technology,
which combines an array of recently acquired search technologies,
such as Inktomi and commercial search provider Overture Services.
Overture also owns AltaVista and the Web search technology of
Fast Search and Transfer. This appears to drop
Google's percentage of reach of internet users by approximately
28%, and increases Overture's and perhaps Inktomi's influence
for the immediate future. However, the numbers may change. For
