Which search engine is easier to work with as a SEO? I am asking this because - Although I can rank well in both, I find it harder esp in one of these engines.
It's a generic generalization and algorithms change by nature, Google pays more attention to off page content and Yahoo pays more attention to on page content.
It's easyer to rank in Yahoo than in Google. Google puts more emphasis on relevance, on the power of the links that point to you. For Yahoo the number is more important
