I haven't yet. Has anybody got flexible scripts which scan log files? (Borek
or Bokma maybe?) I wouldn't like to spend effort reinventing the wheel.

That's true by definition. Better ranking => better SERPS placement => more
referrals.
The question is: why would my site be disliked by Yahoo and MSN (or
conversely liked by Google). I am very critical of Microsoft, but their
robots shouldn't be able to detect that, right? Or maybe links from
Linux-oriented sites expose that, as well as dense sensitive keywords like
monopoly, or evil, or world domination, or "ugly guy called Ballmer"...
That doesn't explain why Yahoo give so little. It's worrying.
Quite frankly, there quite be an open, non-profit search engine just like
Wikipedia, Sourceforge or ICANN. Selective search engines which operate
hypocritically according to their own agenda and give biassed results must
vanish.
