What does Yahoo `like` in order to come out on the first page in Yahoo SE? I tried different things, with completely contradicting results. Anybody has any good tips how to make SEO Yahoo friendly?
I think the most important thing that matter to rank in Yahoo is quality content of your site i.e onpage seo.
Based on the low market share of yahoo, you should generally be concerned about getting on the first page of google.
yahoo focus on the content the high % is on the content and some couple of links it doesn't matter if follow or not.
I think Yahoo gives weight to onpage factors like metatags and keywords. Domain age and site authority matter a lot.
I couldn't even begin to tell you exactly how you can get on the first page of Yahoo. Personally I wouldn't recommend it. Yahoo will only be able to offer a couple of referrals. In the SEO game it's all about the big G. That's where I would focus all of your efforts.
the best strategy is to use everything possible to enhance you seo ranking, articles, forums, link exchange, blogs etc
try an seo company link rankpay.com (they've worked for my cell phone business) =] Pm me and i can tell you more and give you the keywords on the site i am listed #1 on
I never tried to optimize my site for yahoo. i check for Google because from my analytic most of the traffic I get is from google.even my sites appear on first page for some of the keywords in yahoo as well...
i tried seo to mine sites come en page first of google search, now when i check ithose in yahoo , is also in the first page, without special trying
Yahoo always ranks my sites better for my main keywords than google.. and the % of visitors I get from the number 1 spot on Yahoo is similar to what I get off google being on 2nd page.. Yahoo "I Believe" like the basics Meta Tags & Description, Htags, good content with keywords rich text and you should find yourself pretty close to the top without trying as hard as you will with google..
What exacty strategies did you guys use? For someone who is new to SEO and is reading this thread, its no good. Are you pushing new content daily? Are you optimizing your server cache, pushing images? Are you optimizing your CLEAN urls? New content? Forums?
I never found the best way to get top of yahoo Se. Actually making simple linkbuilding like Google can help, but maybe yahoo have different algorithm. This is really hard to be explained, if you have static website, with useful facts, information and service you will get top position quite easily... On more than 100% there is just a manual review of the websites.
