Someone please tell me I am not nuts.  Yahoo is really frustrating me, and I hope it is not just me.  They have dropped me off the rankings (again - happened one time before for a day or three).  Also they sure have changed their ranking formula or something.  Many of the people who were highly ranked are now not highly ranked at all.  Major shift of what is "valued" by the search engine -- anybody got a clue.   And NO I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING (black hat , white hat, or any hats at all).  I watch our site standing daily to see if we are climbing or not - but major fall backs have me really puzzled.  I am sure that I am not being penalized, but I am lost for an explanation.  Any and all ideas are sought.

La Mirada ~ California is a great place to call home in So-Cal.  Located just 20 miles southeast of Los Angeles this community has so much to offer singles, families and seniors alike. The citiy's name is Spanish for "The View". La Mirada may be considered a mid to small community by some, somewhere around 50,000 residents (just under 8 miles in land size) and also a college community with the nearby Biola University. The city is primarily an owner-occupied community of primarily single family homes. You could find a few condo developments here and there, yet so much of the city was developed in the 1960's when land was still in a reasonable supply. The photo on the upper right is the the La Mirada Theater for the Performing Arts offering an outstanding variety of live productions, some...
