wtf is wrong with yahoo?

I have 5000 links in yahoo (was 10k) and 22k pages in yahoo linking to my website using my keyword.

I am not in the top 1000 SERPs in yahoo for that keyword and its been like that for sometime.

Whats wrong with yahoo?

 

Yahoo weighs onsite factors more heavily than Google.

 

my sites also receives less visitors from yahoo than Google ... m thinking to list my site into yahoo dir with paid submission .... is it worth doing ???

 

fuser, were you ranking before? are all your links using the same keyword?

 

Have you guys consider, maybe someone else had a much larger number of links to their site than yours that's why you rank that way?

 

pipes, yes i think i was in the 100s maybe a few months ago. yahoo has not dropped my domain it just doesnt want to rank me in the top 1000. totally unjustified.

 

I am ranking 29 on google and ranking 4 on msn.

you think there are 1000 website found only in yahoo with a larger number of links to their site? Add to that yahoo now wants to look into incoming links better than google and msn?

 

Yahoo is, in my opinion, useless

I am number one in Yahoo for one of my main sites with very competitive keywords.
I am number 4 in Google for the same term.

I get 7% of my total traffic from Yahoo and 75% from Google, the rest from other sources.


If I were you I would focus to ranking Page 1 in Google, and you will then start to rank better in yahoo in my experience.
Is your site spammy? duplicate content?
you need to look at all possible factors to decide what approach and changes to make!

 

Yahoo is really strange.google is better for me till now.

 

Google ranking is more sophisticated and advanced. consider using paid submission if you really want to be a top yahoo search result.

 

some content is spammy. i wish i could say the same in my case for yahoo since overture is in the high xx,xxx/day for my keyword. thanks for the advice though

 

I read about this several places, have you done this before?

 

even i am facing the same problems, my site is on top page for many competitive keywords but no traffic from those keywords. Google is much batter than yahoo and msn.

 

I would suggest you to focus more on google unless you got more trafic from yahoo than google. Is it worth it? not really. but if you got some money to spare, why not.

 

it's really worth getting into yahoo dir

 

i dont need yahoo traffic, Google is enough!

 

Dont care about yahoo, Google is better than yahoo.
