Today, while i was again on the search for something good, i came upto a blog http://cleverhack.com/ whose author is joy larkin.

Well, now let me start alittle, i was reading the post about her Yahoo Mobile Crawler issue.
I’ve also seen the same happen to my friend a few days ago, quite similar….

The blog post states that Yahoo!’s Mobile Crawler is not doing an accurate job crawling Mobile pages WML (Wireless Markup Language); People are becoming serious about their mobile websites and how they’re being crawled and presented more then ever especially since the launch of the offical mobile domains (yourname.mobi). Joy shows exactly what is being wrong with the Yahoo! Mobile Crawler - I asked my friend to send an support email to Yahoo!’s Developer, but unfortunetly theres no reply from them as of yet, but it is appearing that nor my friend nor Joy is the only victim of this issue / problem.

Check-out Joys Blog for more in-depth details about whats happening; others who are having similar problems please do post here so that we can spread it out so that everyone gets aware of it, Especially Yahoo!.
