Build for Google and Yahoo! rankings will follow quickly. I suggest building many links to your site as well as practicing on-page SEO factors. I highly recommend this, for that is the only true way to increase your rankings.
Hmm, I seem to be experiencing the opposite of everyone else. My rank on Google is really (really) bad. My rank on Yahoo is great. Google Backlinks: 0 Yahoo Backlinks: 463 This goes to prove that Yahoo are a lot more generous with backlinks. And do you know where the majority of those backlinks comes from? Forum signatures
Build up your links using the various link building techniques out there and then try to work on your on-page factors as said above. As for the descriptive meta-tags, I highly recommend you use great meta description tags to draw in the searchers. Also, place as many meta keywords as possible.
Strong on page optimization with quality backlinks from is the single most important factor imho for ranking well in search engines.
I think it might help if you have a Yahoo store or if they are your host. Anybody else think that might be true?
No. Some people might say so, but it looks like there's no reason to believe that from what I've seen. People come up with all sorts of gimmicks but it comes down to the tried-and-true techniques for the most part: good content, good links, regular updates to your site.
I have my own domain but 70% of my total traffic is from Google. I am planning to advertise on yahoo just for the hack of it.
You should work on keyword as well as content. And do not make changes frequently. Back links are also helps you to get more high rank.
Of Course every one try for Google ranking then yahoo and other search engines ranking will improve automatically...
yahoo ranking is totally different from google ... I guess its all about getting as many back link as much possible
