why do I rank high in google and very low in yahoo? I feel my page has all the SEO and many back links. What should I do to increase the yahoo ranking?
Serch engines have different algorithms and obviously what makes you popular in Google's eyes will not be the same for Yahoo. I find it much easier to rank for yahoo, but obviously your situation is the opposite. IMHO it has a lot to do with the percentage of keywords in your copy.
I think Yahoo places a higher important of on page SEO than Google does. so changing your keyord prominence, H1, bold, Italics and use of lists.
maybe you priorities the google more,try to concentrate in yahoo ranking then let's see what will happen.
hi.. other are right because of the algorithm of every search engine. i think there is changes in yahoo this early months and i don't know why but it has.. me too also encounter a little drop in my rank.
Focus on on the other hand, looks at on-page factors more, such as keyword density, keywords in headings, etc. As for Yahoo, the content that is on the page is the most important. To rank high with Yahoo you need to use a lot of keyword phrases on the page, have a lot of keywords in the headings, have a high keyword density, etc.
im in yahoo directory in google i mon the first page and yahoo im on the 10th page. the site is stockhideout.com can someone look quick what needs to be chaged.
it is simply because the concentration of market is in google not much in yahoo ands they have different algorithm.
i get the same problem . nobody can understand how yahoo doing search . yahoo does not know too . yahoo is the hardest search engine to get good serp results
As they've said each SEs does different algorithm and that for that you will received different rankings on each of your keywords...continue improving your contents and your link popularity...
I'm not sure, but I think the keywords in domain name are more important for Yahoo than for Google. If search query is in domain name the result is higher in Yahoo. In G. you know... content, links etc...
Yahoo can be difficult. Try upping the on page but be careful not to over do it. Second get some more links, Yahoo is more of a numbers game than Google. Try some free directories or article submission, but again don’t over do it.
one day I was ranked high on yahoo and then over night went from 2nd page to 10th why would this happen?
It seems the opposite in my keyword market....throw your hands in the air and wave em around like you just don't care....google seems to be domain name privvy in the keyword markets I'm optimizing in now...and Yahoo has definitely thrown a couple of twists into their algo.....even fluctuating alternating sites on a daily basis between #1 & #6 positions, and #1 to #15 in 12 hours.....psycho algo....but who cares if you've got G?
