    Hello!

    Today i have noticed, that my Bid Directory ranks:
    For keyword "bidding directory". (Google: #21)
    #1 Yahoo
    #1 AltaVista

    For keyword "Link Bidding" (Google: #15)
    #2 Yahoo
    #2 AltaVista

    For keyword "Bid Directory" (Google: #6)
    #3 Yahoo
    #3 AltaVista


    Do Yahoo and AltaVista counts anything?
    My traffic sources are still:
    19.20% Direct Traffic
    66.74% Referring Sites
    14.05% Search Engines

    How can i get better on google if the google is "headmaster":)

    Best Regards,
    matik

    In reply to your thread title -- the answer is --

    Those SEs don't send any traffic:D

    So nobody cares about them--thats why very easy to rank.:p

    what ive noticed is they are easier to rank coz they give more importance to web page optimization than other factors like link popularity and stablished domain .. my spanish sites rank always #1 in yahoo and msn in the first 6 months maximum, but it takes me 1 year or more to get a top 10 ranking in google... well at least that's what i think from my experience

    their share of the search engine market vary a lot depending on the country. i think they can bring good usa traffic for example, but in other countries google is king with over 90% share. i get very very low traffic from yahoo.es even with some #1 positions.
