4 things are most important for getting top rank on yahoo those are 1: keyword, 2: back links, 3: structure of site and 4: age of site.
ya its really unpredictable...till date i hvent understood on wat criteria yahoo gives rankins...but i feel it is more with quantity rather than quality..
Keywords density, meta title, Yahoo Answers, etc. It will be much difficult to rank well on Google than on Yahoo.
The turnoff is the lack of a constant. I will rank higher and faster in yahoo for some keywords / site, yet have to work a lot harder to do the same in google. However, this situation will be completely reversed for a different site / keywords.
First of all make a research, find out who is your competitor in yahoo for the keywords you want to rank high. Then look on his links. Then start building links, hope that helps. .jik
Quality and sometimes even not-so-quality backlinks for Yahoo. What will rank in yahoo and msn won't always rank in google...but you'll still get good amt of traffic
Another tip: Content is king and will likely stay king regardless of changes in algorithms . Yahoo! search places much more value on domain names than Google. .jik
Go to the Yahoo office closer to your home with big dollars and you'll get catapulted in first position.
