Yahoo! Sports Search

Yahoo! launched a new look for their Sports and News search early this month. I am more impressed with the sports search since Google’s News search pretty much suffices for my news search needs. A look into Yahoo’s Sports search was pretty fun though. Below is a screenshot of what the sports results pages looks like.

As you see at the top when I searched for the braves it showed the Atlanta Brave’s logo. It then gives links for the team’s page, news, scores and schedules, and photos. Right under that you’ll get a snapshot of how they’re doing because the stats for the last game is highlighted and then the schedule for the next game is also shown. The main body of the results page then shows a few images of the Braves then you get the various links. On the left sidebar you’ll find related sports information like “trending sports topic”, which showed that the last time I searched popular search strings were Cliff Lee, Fantasy Sports, Colorado Rockies, Rafael Nadal, Dwight Howard, and Lorena Ochoa. Directly below that would be the searches related to my search term, which then showed me Thrashers, ESPN, and MLB.

Now I know this isn’t revolutionary but it sure is useful and the layout easy on the eye. As for SEOs working on sports pages and blogs I would say that they should try to get a good ranking on this Yahoo’s Sport search because you can be sure that this will catch on to sports fanatics out there.
