    Yahoo SE Friendliness for vBulletin

    I love how vBulletin is search-engine friendly from default!
    However, the forum is not attracting the Yahoo/Inktomi bots.
    I did see them indexing on the stats but when I go check on yahoo.com, the forum is not indexed and only the html page of that URL is indexed (non-vB pages).

    Any idea and suggestions on improving Yahoo ranking? The site is listed on DMOZ.

    Yahoo's new bot is better than Google at indexing dynamic pages. I'd just be patient.

    Agreed... Yahoo can spider it, but it's still not as fast as Google. Perfect example is we started a forum 2 days ago. Google was spidering it the day it was online, and the first parts of that spidering are already in the index (less than 48 hours later).
