    I'm not sure about your question but what I can tell you is that if you do good SEO on your website you should be included in both Google and Yahoo

    Both has it's guidelines and algorithms too. Exactly on which point they
    differ may be 'page rank'. PR is the brainchild of Google (patent assigned to Stanford University).
    Both may agree on the relevant and quality content part.

    Yahoo and Google search engines work differently and hence it is good idea to SEO on both search engines. This will help you get hits from both the search engines.

    Generally you go through just one process and you will rank for both at the same time. However their algorithms do differ, for example, I find that Yahoo is much more likely to devalue duplicate anchor text.

    Since Google has 70% of the traffic, you SEO for hi placements in Google and Yahoo just an "also ran".

    One thing I'm tracking is in Google, we delete the use of the Meta Keyword. When I did this, my Yahoo ranking went down greatly.

    Also, I focus more on MSN/Live than Yahoo.

    It means that they are going for quality links over quantity of links. I typically do the opposite and set up a large base of Yahoo traffic then begin optimizing my website for Google by getting high quality links.

    there are a big difference in the algorithm of google and yahoo they rank website differently from each other that is why SEO specialist target google first because it derives more traffic more than yahoo so if they reach their objectives in google they will follow it with yahoo, meaning if you rank first page of google then dont expect that you also rank first page of yahoo.

    Google and Yahoo both have different algorithm and strategies so we have to optimize our site in accordance with their algorithm.


    Best luck!!!!!!!
