Do you SEO for Yahoo?

[Gnome]

do you even bother about Yahoo?

All my work is all around Google, I dont even check my rank in Yahoo.

[Kagato]

I don't do anything for Yahoo.

I have never got traffic from them.

[Richie_Ni]

I don't.
Google is the only one I do SEO for.

There's a golden rule to success in the webmaster world. Don't care for search engines. You sites just need to be W3 compliant. Other than that your content should be optimized for users, not Google/Yahoo/MSN. This increases your chances of coming up in the SE results as an average user searches human phrases & not keywords.

Mainly for Google.
But I'm applying some tricks to live.com too.
I'm getting:

37% Google
11% Live
 7% Msn
 7% Yahoo
rest Direct traffic and other Search Engines

But at this point, if I were to answer your question in straight words, I'd say you don't need to SEO for Yahoo, Y! spiders are much more intelligent than Google's, they read content more humanly.

I spend a lot of time and money on Yahoo. And no income any longer. There is no point of doing this.

I think that if you optimize your site for Google, the rest of the search engines will just follow.

[PwrUps]

I just seo for google and end up getting some results for yahoo.

You sites just need to be W3 compliant

That does NOT matter! Believe me!

Other than that your content should be optimized for users, not Google/Yahoo/MSN.

What exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean something like no keyword in title, no keyword in meta, no h1, h2, h3, no bold, no anchor text? No links? Nothing? If yes, then you need to learn more about SEO.

I think you should care about search engines. Otherwise its all pointless.

And being w3 compliant is not that important as say the amount of backlinks.

how do you do seo different for yahoo or google? 80% of my traffic comes from google and only 8% comes from yahoo.

[googleminigames.com]

I just Focus on Google and rarely backlinks and link echanges and thats how im at right now... I really work my butt off for SEO, but now im noticing a need to work more in backlinks.....SO far so Good .

Only making 20$ a week. which is ok with a site like mine thanks to Google,Direct,Referals, and rarely Yahoo and VERY VERY Rare other search engines

[cool_78]

I don't. There is not much traffic coming from Yahoo so I don't bother anymore.

[mrgee]

Yahoo... what is Yahoo?

I don't do SEO for Y, because I don't get any traffic from them.
