How to optimize a site on Yahoo?

I have been optimizing my site for Google but I want to take advantage of Yahoo. I don't know how to do this.

 

Best metatags and links on pages, which havt good PR by Yahoo

 

also include your keywords in your domain name - yahoo puts a lot more emphasis on this than google does...

example:

keyterms: houston lawyers
yahoo results:

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=houston+lawyers&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8

Code (markup):

see how many front page results include these specifc keyterms in the domains

6/10

i see this more and more now....

 

I also think you need back links from other sites.

 

back links works for both yahoo as well as Google, but i also wanna know if i am having back links then why my site is in google top 10 but no where in Yahoo?

 

I have also same issue Good Traffic from Google (700) but lower from Yahoo (7-10) . I have good contents and back links but result from yahoo is not good. How can I do different with yahoo to get good traffic ??

 

you should more focus on on-page optimization for yahoo, but it may harm your google rankings

 

submit sitemap yahoo

 

if your ranking improve on Yahoo..it may affect your Google rankings..coz both use very different algos..

 

basically optiize your meta tags and build backlinks. yahoo isn't particular about what kind of backlinks they just like alot of them.

 

try using some feature of yahoo to include ur links ,,, like .. ummm .. yahoo answers / groups / ... just make it high quality links (useful i mean) ... wish this is helpful

 

many links, and get domain of your keyword.

 

+1 and thankyou btw !

 

Thanks for that.
Jp

 

meta tags then submit site to yahoo

 

GOOGLE's favorite food is eating links, content and plus side dishes are meta tags and dessert as more content
Yahoo's favorite food is eating META TAGs , keywords, content, domain names and desserts and side dishes as links and more content

Thanks,
Cheers

 

Just like google, yahoo also prefers good content, good backlinks. In addition, you can try Yahoo Answers if your site is in some niche that can help yahoo answers users. It will give you free backlinks as well as targeted traffic.

 

Does adding your site to Yahoo My Bookmarks help?
Anybody know?
They are supposedly "public" if you so choose.

 

I think onpage SEO is more important in the case of Yahoo.

 

To some it up:

1. Domain Name should contain the keyword.
2. More backlinks
3. onPage SEO
4. Good Metatags
5. Submit Sitemap to Yahoo
6. Get Listed on Yahoo! Directory
7. Use Yahoo! Services such as Yahoo! Answers, Yahoo! Buzz, Yahoo My Bookmarks!
8. Good Content

Are these really useful?
