I am ranked with the top 10 results of google for certain keywords, but I'm not in yahoo.

I don't think that they use the same system as google to rank the websites. Otherwise I would be on the top of yahoo too...

Is there someone here that knows how to achieve a good rank in yahoo?

Usually ... the Google formula works well for all search engines, including Yahoo. How long since your site is indexed in Yahoo and what are the top players ranking above you?

If You got a good result in google I don't think that You need the same in Yahoo.It will be better, but if not don't worry.

That's true, I just can't understand the fact that I don't get any traffic at all from yahoo or msn and I do get traffic from google ... :/

Build your inbound links. That should be done in a longer term. The more links your page gets, the more likely it is to be ranked higher.

You know for getting higher position in yahoo or msn You need to optimise Your site a little bit otherwise
1. Your home page should me full of texts which doesn't appreciates by google
2. Your site should have thousands of backlinks which is needed for google too

offpage optimisation is almost the same but which concerns to onpage opt. I think its rather different, so You should choose google or yahoo/msn . But Ii think that most of SEO experts would agree with me if I say that google is in more importance.

Do what those that rank higher than you do, but of course do it better so you can get higher than them.

If your site is new, just give it some time.

I think yahoo takes more notice of the domain name, for instance i have one website that is top page out of 196 million on yahoo for a very competitive keyword, and IMO it is mainly down to the domain name that matches the search term. It has very few links and in google is non existent for that same keyword.

Different between them is that to be google-friendly, you'll need quality and relevant backlinks while Yahoo seems doesn't really care about relevance and quality backlinks.

In danger of stating the obvious, have you submitted your URL, sitemap etc. I have just done so myself and it has made a difference, also my snippet has been drawn from a different source.
