SEO Techniques for Yahoo vs. Google

One thing I have found interested after working on several websites is that some can be on page one of search results in Google, but page 14 on Yahoo, some can be on page one of Yahoo and not even showing in Google, etc.

Is there a specific set of SEO techniques that are geared towards helping sites rank better in Yahoo?

 

yes because google and yahoo has different Search algorithm.

 

Google likes loads of backlinks and unique content.
while yahoo takes meta tags into consideration..

donno about bing!!!

 

That explains a lot of things about the difference in search results from those two search engines.

 

yahoo loves keyword stuffing while google love clear seo tags.

 

From day one till now, Yahoo has continued counting the on page elements more than the Google which relies on counting the incoming links for giving websites rankings.

 

Focus on meta tags and quantity as well as quality backlinks, for yahoo, focus on quantity rather than quality and old school seo tactics like titles, URLs and meta tags

 

Yahoo is getting smarter nowadays. The old trick with keywords and meta description is not panacea anymore. For example they do rely on backlinks as Google - try Yahoo Site Explorer

 

Its to bad they could not all unit and use one set way of doing it. That will be the day. i bet one day there is goign to be a standard of algorithm! W00t cant wait!

 

Google is more accurate than yahoo. Always trust google rank while doing SEO work.

I wouldn't bet on this. Always there is a new guy coming on the scene...just like Google vs. Microsoft and Firefox vs. IE. There should be competition so the big players to improve

 

I thought yahoo was pretty much gone and Bing was the new one?

 

Another thing about yahoo, is that they don't care of your domain name's TLD. I've had .infos ranked #1 on yahoo while as they were no where to be seen on google. It all depends on how you do your SEO as well.

 

Yeah! both of them completely change algorithm & technique.. Although getting index @ Yahoo is far easier to get any useful listing in Google

 

Google's Search Alogarithms are very powerful. Yahoo too have great data but, in order to optimize Yahoo, you need to take all those factors for which Google ranks you Plus the On Page Optimization should be good including links from Web 2.0 Websites.

 

Google is more a bit more difficult..because they have a lot of money..

 

google is better than yahoo

 

That is the most interesting answer. Bing is new so I haven't got any ideas. Anyone please tell us about Bing. They have webmaster central, also?

 

I believe they do, I haven't checked it out yet though - I have to do a full review and build about bing and it's Apis, etc

 

I think it's depent on what you offer.. because I've a niche I got a lot of traffics from Yahoo and make money from that niche..
