How to Rank High in Yahoo

[seodubai]

My website is ranking good in google but with same keywords not in yahoo. How to rank high in yahoo.

[fadetoblack22]

I wouldn't bother spending time worrying. My site is in the same position. However it is 3rd in live.com and I get no traffic from it at all!

Google is king in the SE world.

[Adulu]

Hey hey, you are SEOer.
you are expert:D

[lepud]

to start working on it you need to learn a lot about it. If you have anough time do it. If you have enough money allow that to do for professionals.

[Davally]

if i were you I would focus on seo on google, yahoo will catch up but many have different results on each,

google is king though so focus on that..

probably have a better navigation structure + internall linking. that would help in Yahoo!

[lycos]

Both of them actually use different algo to determine site ranking. I wouldn't be worry if I were you because the traffic coming from yahoo, most of the time is very less.

Did you read this post, i shared in earlier similar thread.

Your Success with Yahoo Search Engine (http://www.dailytechnologytips.com/2008/08/your-success-with-yahoo-search-engine.html)

Just give it a read and share here if it was helpful. :)

[cyberfreakz]

Yahoo's algo is based more on links than other factors.... inbound links with keyword rich anchor text will take u to the top of yahoo!! dats my personal experience!!
Sound internal linking and links from other sites with matching competitive anchor text are ur need!! ;)

[Phooey]

I've always just focused on Google and Yahoo eventually catches up. My traffic from Yahoo to any of my sites is only a fraction of what Google sends.

[Armenoid]

yahoo?
Google much more important;)

[TonyVeigas]

Don't worry about yahoo ranking i find it pointless. I would start worrying about google trafic instead.

[Lemezo]

I partially agree on this. Don't ignore Yahoo, but keep it at a low priority compared to google.

[qazu]

Yahoo does catch up with your google ranking so don't worry about it too much

[justinlorder]

I also want to get the answer. Sometimes yahoo bring us valuable traffic and potential orders.
Of course, I don't have much to invest for hiring professional, so we did it by ourselves.

[plepco]

Here's your answer (the quick and short version): get as many links from other sites as possible.

There's more to it than that, but if I HAD to sum up SEO in one short statement I don't think I could boil it down to anything more essential.

[gray929]

I have a site that gets very little traffic from external sites. Has little to none backlinks yet is on the first page for a lot of keywords in Yahoo yet is only a PR 2 in google. No idea why tbh.

site is www.khmerauction.com

There are numerous other factors potentially at play here.
- Age of site
- Frequency of updates
- Size of site
- Onpage SEO factors
- Authority of site
- Competition (or lack thereof)
- Type of niche your site is in
- Keywords (incl. factors such as keywords in url)

Too many things that can affect it to be able to answer in one sentence. Without knowing the facts (or even the URL!), you can't really do SEO analysis.

[gray929]

Thats the thing. Site hasn't been updated in almost a year. Domain isn't too old. Lots of competition and common niche.


Site is www.khmerauction.com

Thing I don't get is I am the #3 result on Yahoo for "Free Auctions" among others, yet I am not even in the top 100 on Google. The algorithms must be drastically different.

[vicky123]

i think yahoo takes time to rank sites high as i have experienced.

[jkadin]

I realy would not put much interest in it I only have for my 3 sites is the index page on yahoo, one site is almost a year old. Google, ask and msn are doing mysites grand. I would not worry at all.

[app789]

Yahoo search sucks, when I was on the top for same keyword google gave me 5 times more traffic than yahoo.

[lipply]

I think yahoo values fresh content, work on your site often.

[joebloggs]

Google is king in the SE world.

Maybe that keyword has no search volume on Yahoo. Try another keyword.

[zurpit.com]

You shouldn't worry too much about yahoo. If you get high rank in google eventually it will be high ranked in yahoo too

[aadisharma]

On page factors also count when it comes about getting high ranking on Yahoo

[jerome]

I think in Yahoo, its more concentrating in On page SEO.

[good4every1]

google is king though so focus on that..

[MRniceGuy007]

if you want to rank well with Yahoo, think of your Google ranking tactics from 2-3 years ago

[Commenter]

Yahoo takes longer.

[micahman80]

I agree. Yahoo really values site structure and internal linking. Review your on-page optimization and internal linking, and you'll see a big improvement.

[huskyblack]

I also agree with this. My sites with good interlinking and several subindex pages rank ok in Yahoo.

[player82]

I had one of my site on 3rd at yahoo but not on the google first page.

[Swapnil]

manage your yahoo webmaster acc....
Yahoo search engine works far more different from google.

[doctoromar83]

we want to know what is the mechanism or the way that yahoo and google rank the sites

[e30drifter]

Yahoo doesn't take time to rank sites I have site which is 2 months old on first page. I have also site which is 5 years old on first page...don't know how it ranks or why...but yahoo traffic doesn't pay bills...google traffic does.

[mcaronan]

I dont know what happen to yahoo but some of my websites doesn't rank well. But my other websites do rank pretty impressive. It's like 1st website will rank at google while it sucks at yahoo, and the 2nd website will rank at yahoo and it sucks at google. I dont really know what happen. After ranking pretty impressive at google, yahoo eventually follow. But now, it didn't follow.. I dont really know why:confused::confused:

[Jim4767]

Don't worry about yahoo ranking i find it pointless...

Pointless? :confused: I get 11,000 unique visitors a month from Yahoo!, versus 21K from Google. Yahoo! is not pointless.

[tsoft]

Maybe if you can afford, you can get your site listed in their dir for 200+ bucks. Maybe that would help?

[Killermule]

This is the sorta answers ppl should be giving lol.

This forum is really going bum up with all these clueless noobs just spamming for post count.

I mean that indian dude with like 2600 posts... yet he is still on 1 bar rep lol... shows how pointless his posts really are...

[bobbylove321]

Yahoo is a waste of time and not to mention they have a different algorithm than google. They go more on fresh content than links and page rank.

[t2000q]

i have always found yahoo easier then google, seems odd your doing better in google then yahoo ...

[CheapSEO]

yahoo will rank your site. make link your site and get #1 rank in google. don't forget to optimize well your domain.

[arena84]

what i understand on yahoo rank is your site must old enough to be ranked on first page..good SEO and bla bla bla is bonus push..

[onlytopblog]

um ...I have an experience that the ranking in Yahoo! dropped while ranking in Google rise !

[Swapnil]

i think yahoo takes time to rank sites high as i have experienced.
Ya it takes time, but if your site ranking is high or getting traffic then your site may show up for specific keyword.

[Swapnil]

Please refer seo consultant for better keyword consulting.

[yinyang]

i too give importance to google much since its having the highest % searches

[WebStreetSmart]

Yahoo Directory and Submit Search would help... Dont forget Yahoo Site Explorer and Should have relative content. Then as usual make your website popular.

[theworldwinner]

for yahoo according to my experience title have much importance

[SearchBliss]

In my experience, ranking high in Yahoo often, but not always, means ranking poorly in Google. I would suggest keeping you Google rankings, then optimize a sub page for Yahoo.

[rpf_81]

I submitted my blog in yahoo 3 months back.. But no sign of it yet in yahoo search.. But I have PR 2 in Google and getting some good traffic for a lot of keyword related to GFX, 3D , Models etc... Still could not understand what actually yahoo needs to be included in their search engines....

[seobeginner]

its all about backlinks for yahoo, other factors dont really matter much with yahoo,+its harder to get penalized with yahoo for link building too fast

[Swapnil]

Please be patient ranking in yahoo take lot of time and it mainly depends upon your backlinks

[TheMagpie]

I just let Slurp come by. It always does.

[civicturbolive]

Yep it's thrue yahoo is hard to control and even be ranked in the top!! Advertise for few weeks with Yahoo Advertiser and this is going to let you take few place up only. Good luck!

[Jim4767]

Yahoo is a waste of time...

Why do people keep saying uninformed things like this about Yahoo? :confused: As mentioned above, I got 11,000 unique visitors last month from Yahoo. That is hardly "a waste of time".
