The SEO Man

Getting 1st place at Yahoo is not as hard as getting 1st place at Google.com and it does not take as long as getting listed at the top of MSN.com
It seems like the sites that I have at the top of Yahoo are almost always also at the top of MSN, but not always at the top of Google.
Most webmasters and SEO Experts can agree on the fact that; Google tends to favor more off page factors like lots of links from different sources.
With Yahoo and MSN most webmasters will find that if you really optimize your on page factors (almost to the point of "over-optimizing") and get a few good backlinks, particularly contextual ones, then it's easy to get high placement for the keywords and keyword phrases that are defined during the SEO process.
I have personally noticed the same thing with a few of my websites. I was at the Top 10 of Yahoo and the Top 10 of MSN for my selected keywords, and my web with the same keywords at Google did not have near as good of placement.
In a few cases in fact, I did not spend any time at doing external search engine optimization for the websites at all, to get first page placement for many keyword phrases that I defined when internally optimizing the website.
I quickly figured out the website were listed at the top because they had very good content and great internal search engine optimization done to them during the development.
I have found that at is easy to optimize websites with keywords for Yahoo just as many people seem to frequently experience. Some of my websites seems to do better in Yahoo at times, but on average I am able to get at least (x3) three times more traffic from Google.com compared to Yahoo.com
Getting 1st Place at Yahoo.com can take a lot long that getting 1st Place at Google.com, but Yahoo may bring your website up for different keywords, so it could still help you get extra free targeted traffic to you website that could translate in to a few more sales per day/week/month.
