Okay, thanks - good to know.

When I invoke the Yahoo validator, I still get the the message

"
1. Cached Data Does Not Match

The data stored in the Yahoo! Search Index doesn't match the data just
retrieved from the live version. This is normal if you just changed your
page — simply wait for us to recrawl and reindex your page."

So are you sure that " the cache is now in sync"?

If so, why are the price and product image not shown in the
www.yahoo.com search results?

I can see only the review meta-data, but not the price etc.

By the way - if that helps: I noticed that the sub-site had not been
properly authenticated in the Yahoo Site Explorer, but that is now fixed.

Do pages have to be properly authenticated via the standard Yahoo
techniques for their meta-data to be displayed in the search results?

Best wishes

Martin
