Another question, SEO for Yahoo, not Google.

    I'm still curious why I can't see my website ranks in the top 1,000 in Yahoo (for my targeted keyword) although I got the first rank in Google. Man, I know Google provides much better traffic but I'm just curious. People said it's easier to rank in Yahoo but I wonder what is "easier"? I have read http://www.sitepronews.com/archives/articles/2007/0921.html but I don't understand what is "quality" link for Yahoo. Can someone teach me what is the big difference between SEO for Google and Yahoo?

    Google and Yahoo! have very different algorithmic methods to list search results. Yahoo! is more geared towards website age and on-page optimization. Developing a site to rank well in Google SEO wise doesn't mean it will rank well in Yahoo! or Live Search.

    From my experience. My sites rank well in G early. Then after a year or so, I get great SERP results in Yahoo.

    As said, Yahoo, value site age.

    You might need to add the keywords metatag to your pages... I recently added the keyword metatag to some of my site's pages and started getting traffic related to those keywords from Yahoo.
