One of my websites, shows in Google, MSN but never in Yahoo. I think it is indexed in Yahoo, but never updated again and never shows up in SERP ... whats wrong guys ? the site ranks very well in Google and MSN for good keywords ? any help would be appreciated
That's strange, but also I hear a lot of people rank well in Google and MSN but not Yahoo... For me it's the opposite, I don't even rank in the top 1000 for Google. But for Yahoo I'm 56 :S
try typing your site name without space and www in yahoo and see if you can get. if still you dont get it then try to add manually to yahoo
Yahoo is different than google and msn. Google and MSN do not count as many links as Yahoo. I have 4 times as many links in yahoo as I do google and MSN put together. Yahoo just uses a different method of crawling and ranking search results.
i have the same problem as well, but I just recently launched a site and I heared that keyword density matters a lot for yahoo lets see what happens in a couple of months, anyone else has some insight on how to optimize for yahoo
If I ever find an answer I will post it here. We are showing up 1-5 in google for a couple terms. But for the same terms we don't even hit the top 100 in yahoo? Any moderators have any ideas?
An Updated : I checked my site ranking in Yahoo today and it should 26th ! Great , there is something good happenting then
I was just about to post this question. This month I have 7800 hits from googles searches and 14 from Yahoo. This is a crazy discrepency!! Any concrete answers out there?
As far as off page factors are concerned I think yahoo still has a big skew to sites listed in the directory. I have a site listed there that got supercharged on yahoo after listing in the directory. As far as on site factors are concerned, they definitely judge dynamics like keyword density, title tags etc differently to google. Having said all that - I'd rather show on google than yahoo.
Not sure but all my 3 sites are coming in the first page of yahoo when serch for Poker Templete i just saw it and on google also 2 r on the first page i m glad to see that
Yahoo, is very strange SE. Gives a huge # of landing pages in its SERPs. I once started a thread in DP to share seo techiques for Yahoo - but very few people replied - cause few know how to da that...
We rank #2 , 7, 11 for our top terms but 100's back in yahoo. Onpage title keywords, density all good. Would a yahoo sitemap or the yahoo directory submission really help much? Any other ideas?
I would sugest to search on Google for "seo for yahoo" - there's a good article, published on few websites, that covers this topic very good. Author talks there about four major factors for Yahoo: I think this will be very useful.
