Yes, if your domain name includes your keywords.

you provided very useful information, but please give more specific explanation about below italic phrases.

I am not familiar with using good anchor text, absolute and relative link, and I do not understand percent of keywords.

[brian65]

Sounds very similar to the advice for optimising for Google. Any advice specifically for Yahoo?

[dcristo]

Yes, if your domain name includes your keywords.

I don't think it matters, the search engines view it the same.

Anyone trying to answer my question above please?

[3DProf4online]

What is about web site traffic? Does this help to improve Yahoo ranking?

[homebizseo]

Do you think you there is a difference between SEO for Google and SEO for Yahoo.? I have been in the make money online internet business a short peroid of time. But I have been studing SEO for a few years and SEO is Seo.

Thanks a lot, yahoo optimization seems much easier for my sites however:)

[delhidon]

I don't think it matters, the search engines view it the same.
I was using relative links. I had very few back links in yahoo then. Now absolute links increase the back links of my website in yahoo and have good results in yahoo. I was expected more tips but no one adviced me more tips.

[carleasingsecrets]

The list is generally same as optimizing for google. I have done most of them but still, the result is not as satisfactory as with Google. It led me to conclude that the only way to top in yahoo is to pay the fee, which I think is out of the question. Yahoo doesn't give me as much traffic anyway.

[digitalmatch]

Thanks for sharing those tips. Yahoo is going to become a good sourse of traffic sooner or later.

It will only matter if you will be posting off-site, i.e. like posting to technorati, etc. relative links will not be accessible. I am using relative links throughout the site, but when I am referring to a site page in my blog, I use the absolute link of the site page.

This can make a difference in Yahoo I've seen. No difference at all in the other search engines though, I think it's because of the weight Y! gives to KIDs.

Agree 100%. Concentrate on Google and Yahoo results will probably follow along too. I get only 2% of my traffic from Yahoo.

[trocobob]

thanks for sharing .
but i think that the same tips for google are valid for yahoo

[IbizaVoice]

That 's help a little bit but i found yahoo too slow to catching up

[tezehe]

Good tips, thanks for sharing.

[Lovely]

Thanks for sharing tip.

It worth it to optimize for yahoo too

[kingofsanda]

These tips can be used when optimizing for google as well. But I think
yahoo counts many low quality backlinks that google does not count.

[mianriz]

you don't bother, if you optimized your website according to google then remember yahoo will auto crawl and index properly

[baybossplaya]

yahoo also loves rss feeds

[touches93]

Meta Tags are big factor for Yahoo. Place Meta Tags in your pages, I bet you it works.

[supergoz]

I agree. Unlike Google, Yahoo seems to care for meta tags.
