    My website comes in top 10 of google search result for some keywords. But why it is not coming in top 30 of Yahho Search result. I need to bring in top 10 results of yahoo for some specific keywords.

    Based on my experience, Big G gives huge importance in website backlinks while Yahoo focus in on-page stuffs of a site. Now, to rank high in Yahoo, I suggest you work harder on your content and tags.

    First thing you should check your content and meta tags, they should manage properly,
    and also create back links no meter whether it do follow or nofollow.

    create meta details properly and try to generate one way linking because yahoo presents ranking in search engine base on one way linking.

    There is mainly no difference in specially optimizing for one search engine. But there are 2-3 things which differs. But if things are done as per yahoo google rankings will affect a lot. But the things if done as per google then yahoo rankings will come up but will take some more time then usual. For yahoo concentrate on content and on the page things more.

    I found out that yahoo is indexing links faster and accepting those that google doesn't. If google doesn't index all of your links, it means you make slower progress than in yahoo.

    I made approximately 10 links not so long ago and yahoo increased the rank within days literally. Include your main keyphrase first in your title, then second and make it look natural for visitors. Make a good description also including a keyword or two but be sure to make it natural, the best possible way you can.

    Then build backlinks from high PR authority sites. If you can get backlinks from pages with actual PR, your rank will surely increase more (where you'll be placed actually depends on your competition so someone might experience a huge boost, someone won't gain more than a few places, it all depends on competition).

    Hope it helps, that's my experience with yahoo. I'm pretty sure I'll land on page one much faster than in google, there's not much of a difference, maybe yahoo values some factors like anchor text more than google but can't say anything for sure, I would be speculating...

    In order to get foremost position in Google, you have to do more strategies. Also it will take time to rank the website in Google. If your website has ranking in Google, soon your keyword will achieve top position in yahoo too. Go onto Answers.Yahoo.com and start answering questions then stick a link to your site. Try to get back links from yahoo and get listed.

    Yahoo gives more important to On-Page factors. like keyword density, meta tags, Bold and italic factors.
