My site http://humorous.tv ranks first in Yahoo for the keyword humorous videos, but it doesn't even rank in the top 100 on Google. Any suggestions on how to fix this, and get ranked higher? Thanks
yep... the mayday has everyone scratchin their heads lately... the big binary snow globe just got shook up and now were all just waiting for the flakes to settle down.
There are no exact suggestion since each website comes with different condition. However, most of ranking in Google need some trade and you may have to trade your ranking in Yahoo for have them in Google. Both of them are using completely different measurement to judge how website ranking, so it would be a much hard to expect ranking in both of them. I have see many "big brothers" in Google are always fallen and never being that stable in Yahoo, rarely of them I could find.
Try to exchange links and your ranking will improve in google. Ranking in goole and yahoo is never the same as both use different algorithm.
I have found that when I am trying to get into Google yahoo tends to bump me up in rank easily while I am still down in Google. This is because Yahoo is more easy going and easier to rank in. Just keep trying to get into Google and don't worry about the other search engines.
Google's algo mostly different that Yahoo's. So, take your time with building backlinks with proper keywords and wait for Google to index them. There are lot's of things which effects Google SERP and you might also need to optimize your website for them.
As said above, you will now have to cater for Google's Algorithm and calculations regarding how they rank your site; as Google vs. Yahoo completely different. I have seen it in regard to my websites, Ranking in Google and ranking nowhere in Yahoo and vice versa. Stick to it and hopefully your Google Rank comes along nicely.
Those two search engine has different algorithm that's why having good results in yahoo might not be good in google. To rank well for both you have to optimized your site for both search engine. From what I understand Yahoo loves content while Google loves quality links.
LOL no one has answered your question with ADVICE. Yahoo loves one thing right now: Maps. Get a local listing (map) and put that on your site prominently. 2) Google has a much more advanced link evaluation algo, so your links cannot be all spammy..ie blog commenting on pr0 pages etc...
Just don't stop building links. I guess the competition for that keyword in Google is very stiff that's why you're having a hard time ranking for that keyword.
The google applies the rankings in different way than yahoo. the Google counts the links in very strict manner of quality as well as the keywords. hence it is very easy to get top ranking in yahoo compared to that of Google. Do focus for the rankings in Google , if you rank better in it ,you will be autometically get good ranking in yahoo. thanks.
I see that Google and Yahoo earch engine has a different method for crawling in the website, we have to create more relevant backlinks with good pr. Do not worry and keep it up.
First of all your site is only like 6 month old. You might still be in what is commonly referred to as the "Google Sandbox". Second, you have very little content and Google has been putting more and more emphasis on content lately. At least from what I've seen.
Maybe reason is your domain as I saw there are only a few websites ranked well in google if their domain is not .com, .org and .net.
Add Meta Description tag and Meta Keyword tags with keyword "humorous videos". Last time Google crawled your site on June 20 and once they crawl your site than you will have more chances to be found with humorous video keyword.
As we know both are different rules. We can get top in Yahoo search engine without do any seo work but for Google we must do seo work.
