    I know google and yahoo have differant algorithms...... and I was trying, (I thought) :) to get higher rankings on the googler. Reviewing my serps yesterday lo and behold I am rather highly ranked on Yahoo after years of not being so. Problem is yahoo is sending NO traffic. No real surprise there but my rankings on google continue to suck. I thought Yahoo took longer to respond to the on page and off page improvements? Any ideas? What I was doing to improve my position worked, just in the wrong search engine. Should I change course? or stay the course as it is working, kinda.........

    of course Google and Y! have different algorithms, my blog have better SERP too in yahoo, but, it really doesn't effect my traffic. I dont get good traffic from Y! You have to work hard to get better position in Google, there is a lot competitor :D
    btw why dont you try Busby SEO Test Im sure its really great chance to test your SEO skills.

    Look at your site and see if you have the -30 penalty or the -950 penalty. Sites that rank very well in Yahoo, but don't seem to rank at all in Google often have some type of penalty.
