What does that mean, "shows up very weird"? And are talking about a normal search or a site: search?

Yahoo mangled their search results on July 13/14 with a new anti-spam algorithm and their index is now beginning to recover. They had dropped one my domains from just under 5,000 indexed pages down to around 200. It's back up to over 3,000, but most of the results show the page URL in the title field instead of the page's title. (cocksuckers)

With anything SE, I sit, I wait, and I see what happens. While my shitty lists slowly improve in the SEs, I find it difficult to worry about hypothesized penalties of any kind.

Am I correct in thinking thats what you see with the site: search or siteexplorer?

Have you been able to find in the ordinary results those pages showing up with just the url instead of the page title?

Whenever I do a site:domain.com - Yahoo forces me to login and the resulting page is that ugly Site Explorer thing which Yahoo claims to be part of a wide array of webmaster tools. Damned if I can figure out what the tools are.

Just the URL instead of page title? What I'm seeing is each page's URL in what would normally be the title field in the results. So I see:

http://www.domain.com/foo/bar.html
Authenticate the site to see additional information
http:/www.domain.com/foo/bar.html

instead of the expected:
Free Foo Bar Porn
Colorful description of my free foo bar porn type stuff.
http:/www.domain.com/foo/bar.html

Just look at this and you'll feel my pain

but most of the results show the page URL in the title field instead of the page's title.

that's what has happened to me too

[Linkster]

At least you have urls in there
Ive been banned by Yahoo since they started doing their own SE over two years ago - check this out - you wont even find a single url in there for me:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=www...=sexp-rd&x=wrt

I actually got a reply from them - as did a few other linklist owners (I remember Hoes was another one) that stated we are link farms and wont be listed
