Correlation between google and yahoo indexed pages
-
My blog ocpatentlawyer.com has about 130 pages or so. Google has indexed most if not all of the posts and pages. In contrast, yahoo has only indexed about 1/4 of the pages and posts.
Are there any actions that can be taken based on this information? For example, if i prepare a blog post should I prepare it so that it will most likely be indexed into yahoo knowing that google will also index it. If so, how can i prepare blog posts that will most likely be indexed into yahoo's index?

Bing allows you to directly submit up to 10 URLs/day and 50/month for indexing. https://ssl.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx
After your new articles are published, manually submit them and Bing will index them. Based on the quality of the article, social lift, back links and CTR for search queries Bing may choose to remove the pages from their index later.
Otherwise your best bet is to ensure new articles are linked from your site's home page, such as in a "Top News" or "Recent Articles" block. Also try to immediately obtain social mentions and links to your new articles. If the article is deemed important, Bing will index it without the need to submit the URL.

I don't believe that there is any onpage optimization to make it more likely that Yahoo vs. Google will index posts. There are things you can do to increase crawl rate, which will makes it more likely to have more pages indexed. For example, you can make sure you have resolved any duplicate content issues on your site - archives for example, should be excluded by robots.txt (there are WP plugins to help with this, btw).
Perhaps more to the point, I believe social media -- bookmarking, Tweeting, Facebook Page links, etc. -- can increase indexing of posts. I know it works in Google, perhaps someone else can it works in Yahoo.

Re-classifying a Traffic Source in Google Analytics
Hey All, I think it's inside of the Admin section of Google Analytics, right now I have a traffic source from the domain of indeed.ca that is being classified as Organic traffic when it should be classified as referring traffic, how can I tell Google Analytics that all traffic from this source should be classified as referral traffic and not organic traffic? Furthermore, after I make this change, will Google Analytics re-classify my past data so I can do a proper analysis? I can't remember how to do this and any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

How can you tell if your new content has been indexed?
Other than simply doing a search in each case, is there any way I can tell (in Webmaster Tools, for example) if the 500-1000 new pages of content I have added have been indexed and are now appearing in search results? My traffic hasn't risen much, but I know at least a few of them are in there... How can I tell when they're all in?
