See this story that shows that Yahoo (http://www.webpronews.com/news/ebusinessnews/wpn-45-20040414YahooGetsTheirWafflesBombed.html) is also susceptible to bombing in the same way as Google.

Yahoo is much *more* susceptible to search engine manipulation... That's why SEOs like Yahoo. :)

I don’t want to use the word “easy”…let’s just say that even I haven’t found ranking in Yahoo all that difficult for some sites I own. Some phrases/sites don’t rank at all in Google (100’s of results deep) but have first page billing in Yahoo.

if you are in a NON-comercial site ( like me ) Y ranking is most of the time identical with G ranking of each page.

The purely com oriented sites - there i found th etop 100 or so almost entirely those sites having paid inclusions .. hence no relevant query answers in com areas only $ relevant results

i saw that very recently durining one of the site reviews - an older and Y indexed com site showing up nicely in G NOT at all in Y among top 100 ...

Yahoo! generally is a joke to optimize for. Its like spring training pitching compared to Google.

So tell us what you think the basic methods are that will get you ranked in Yahoo.

And has anybody developed a tool yet for tracking your position in Yahoo?
