    Why is there such a huge difference between yahoo and google? On some keywords im on the front page of yahoo while im ranked in the 500's on google. On every keyword i rank about 200 spots above what i do on google. Did they not index my changes or do they take longer ? I know they look for different things but the difference is so huge.

    Yahoo! and MSN are more leniant on new sites while Google's algorithm for ranking sites is probably a lot different and factors in a ton of other things that the others do not. If you get to a top position in Google SE for any keywords then congrats because its quite an accomplishment :)

    SHO,

    Yahoo is more on page - relying on things like meta tag alignment with content. Google is more off page - relying more on links and the anchor text they contain.

    Google has a unique algorithm compared to yahoo. It is very difficult to rank high in Google, depending on your keywords
