Yahoo VS Google

My sites are currently ranking "well" on google. What are some of the big differences in your opinions between the two search engines? For example I will be on page 1 for some keywords on google but page 3 or 4 on yahoo.

 

Different search engines have different algorithms; which means they use different calculations to derive relevant search results. It's common to rank well in one and not the other. Usually, your better off with Google in terms of traffic amounts, Yahoo! fairs much better with actual conversions\sales.

 

What factors are more important for yahoo's algo?

 

im in the same place as you are. on google I rank really well for a lot of terms. On yahoo....nothing. I think the main difference is this:
Google values quality links (links related to your niche)
Yahoo values Quantity links (in other words link spam your butt off)

 

Yahoo focuses more on raw links while google cares more about targeted links. Most people do their SEO for google since you'll get 7 to 10 times more traffic from google when you rank high. And if you rank high in google and have good content you'll eventually get enough natural links to rank high in yahoo.

 

Google seems to bring more traffic and I prefer to focus on that. I find backward links play a more important role in google while page optimisation is more important with yahoo.

 

Google is more on links while yahoo is more on content.

 

yup,
i think yahoo more depends on content more concentrate on meta.

 

hello

i agree with ssandecki, that's true.

 

Google is in everflux updating on an almost daily basis. You'll find that it can be easy to rank on google but hard to keep the ranking. Yahoo likes keywords in the domain name and meta tags.

 

Try filling in your meta keywords and description with the desired keywords.

 

from now,i like with yahoo
because yahoo has many content,entertainment and sport etc
huh yesterday my adsense account was disabled,eventough this 25th july payout
what"s the hell

 

Personally I find Yahoo a waste of time and I don't even know why people search on it, because it's full of duplicated rubbish. At least google tries to screen out as much as possible.

 

Yahoo pays more attention to on-page factors

 

I think google is far more better...(personally)...

 

I don't belive YAHOO puts more emphsis on CONTENT, as i have a few top-noch content websites which rank high in GOOGLE and low on YAHOO and are very poor on in-bound links ...

 

Yahooo likes keywords stuffing and uses all Metatags.

 

Definitely a huge fan of Google. I use it exclusively for my own searching needs as I feel it's more comprehensive over Yahoo.

 

i'd rather concentrate on google, as it brings more traffic.
