    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
