Submit your sitemap for one, but build as many links as you can. Yahoo counts and keeps track of the links better then Google (IMO) and they are not as strict about the relevance of the back links.
Yahoo is 18% of what google is. So working on yahoo may loss you so go for google. Its a better advice. Try google and get 10times the benefit of what in yahoo! Cheers!
Do you mean outbound or inbound links? Are related niche has any effect in Yahoo. I know Google does.
Y! likes keyword rich content. So, heavy use of your keywords will help considerably. The downside is that G may then lower your rank because your high keyword density starts to look spammy. /*tom*/
Why dont you browse through the forums. I bet the same question has been asked a 100 times!!! (Ok well maybe around 10 times in actual) You can get the answer by going through the forum threads for around 1 or 2 hours
In my opinion yahoo and google most of search engines looks back links. But you key word alignment plays a great role.
Create a good keyword combination (2-3 words), avoid only 1 word keyword cause you can't beat bigger sites popularity. If you need my advice, maybe I could give you free help (for 1 time), just pm me your site url and your targetted keyword, I'll let you know what you should do
submit your sitemap at yahoo and now you know yahoo see backlinking your website so make backlinks and get number 1 rank yahoo.
Why? 18% is still a hell of a lot of traffic... work on your Yahoo! ranking is a lot easier as there is a lot less competition
Directory submission, article submission, social bookmakring, anchor text .. did i forgot something ?
Many people says develop plenty of link buildings, i meant make thousands and thousands of other website link to your site. You will be definitely number 1 in Yahoo
Just submitting ur site won't do anything, there are millions of sites in Yahoo database. Do rank #1 you need to do a lot of works. Try these steps: - Write 100 articles and submit to 50 quality directories - Write 100 press release - Submit to directories (of ur niche) - Write articles in wiki pages - Post in forums - Buy some PR6 backlinks
IMHO , one thing you have to add besides another onpage and offpage factors is good coding to comply w3c.
