how often does yahoo re-spider (crawl?).?

Question

i am trying to figure out how long it will take for certain sites to stop showing up when i do a search of my name. I have already had the content that refers to my name removed from the sites themselves.

Answer 1

It should take a few days to a week to get the search results re-cached. More information about the Yahoo indexing robot is found at http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp/index.html

Also, it takes a little while for the Yahoo search robot to find changes to a webpage. Good Luck
