    Yahoo likes when you constantly add new links, particularly on the front pages of other sites

    I believe to rank high in Yahoo's search engines is just look for high page ranking sites and post a link back that is relevant to the keywords you are trying to rank for.

    Here comes the technique :

    The Most Important Yahoo Optimization Factor

    The first, and most pertinent point is that Yahoo judges content to be the most important factor in their algorithms. They do still consider inbound links and other factors but they are attuned to the way of the content site and they love sites that provide keyword-optimized content in large mass. While that may make it sound easier than concentrating on generating a huge base of inbound links as you would for Google, Yahoo optimization presents its own challenges and its own unique quirks that you should consider.

    Looking At Keyword Density

    Because of the relevance that Yahoo places on the content within your site, the keyword once again becomes a vitally important aspect of your research. While Google have been striving to promote sites that use organic content and webmasters and SEOs have been optimizing with around 2% to 3% keyword density Yahoo prefers a much greater density level. The danger, of course, is that giving Yahoo what they want may cause Google to deem your content as being keyword stuffed but there is another difference between the two algorithms that can help to counteract this problem.

    Using Stems, Inflexions, And Variants Of Keywords

    Yahoo is very heavily language based. This means that it is, strictly speaking, more aware of the nuances of the written language. It will include synonyms and inflexions of a keyword when considering your keyword density; something that Google does not consider to the same extent. This means that it is possible to optimize for both without diminishing your ranking with one another.

    How To Optimize For Yahoo Without Getting Penalized By Google

    Google likes a density of around 2% and Yahoo likes a density as high as 7% or even 8%. This means that you can effectively use 4 variations of a single keyword or phrase and a density of 2% for each. This offers further advantages. With Google you are now gearing your content towards four different keywords and offering the level they want, and you are still providing Yahoo with the much higher density rate that they require. Because you can include plurals and further stems of keywords this means you can write in a much more natural tone.

    Using The Near Forgotten Meta Tags

    One area that a lot of SEO professionals and webmasters alike now tend to overlook is the Meta tag. However, Yahoo appears to still give consideration to the keyword and description tags in particular. This is quite rare in the case of most search engines and Google certainly do not look for keywords in your Meta tags. Do not attempt to dupe Yahoo, though, and only include keywords that genuinely appear on your page and are relevant to your topic.

    Regular, Fresh Content Is King

    You’ve probably heard the saying that “content is king” and this is even truer when considering Yahoo optimization. The more content you provide the better. This may mean making regular additions to your site but it will generate the kind of results you are looking for. Blogs are also a very good way to continue adding relevant content to your site that Yahoo will smile down on.

    The Lazy Yahoo Bot

    Compared to other search engine spiders the Yahoo bot is a comparatively lazy animal. It doesn’t crawl as often as other bots and it certainly doesn’t crawl as deep into your site to find all of your pages and index them. This means you should pay extra attention to creating a legible sitemap and keeping it updated as regularly as possible. Yahoo has a sitemap submission feature that is similar to Google’s and using this is heavily recommended to try and ensure that Yahoo stays on top of the infrastructure of your site and ranks you accordingly.

    Inbound Links And Controlling Them Yourself

    Inbound links are still important to Yahoo, but again a lot of emphasis is placed on content. Textual relevance seems to be one of the most important factors so having control over your inbound links and being able to determine the pages where they appear and the anchor text of each is important. Perhaps the best way to generate inbound links for Yahoo optimization is to use the article directories to your benefit.

    Yahoo Optimization Conclusion

    Google may be the search engine that everyone talks about and optimizes for but ignoring Yahoo would be foolish. This is especially true because while the Yahoo algorithm is quite different to the Google one and other algorithms, it is still quite easy to optimize for both. The most important factors to remember are to use relevant Meta tags for every single page of your site, include as much content and update your site with new content as often as possible, and update a sitemap both on your website and with the Yahoo sitemaps function.

    Thank You,

    I have sites that are #1 or #2 in Yahoo with only 3-4 backlinks. Site/page optimization does count for a bit.

    One of my sites has 2 backlinks and is on page 1 on Yahoo, Google and MSN for a reasonably searched niche. Again, have a look at the link I posted a few posts above and try implementing some of the ideas mentioned. Backlinks are important, but onsite optimization counts for a bit as well.

    I do use register all my sites in Yahoo Site Explorer. If possible, I try and have a RSS for the front page or a sitemap page (not easy when coding static pages as opposed to using a CMS)

    On a side note, interestingly enough, I have found that i had at least 5 sites SERPs go up (in Google) when I removed them from Google Webmaster Tools. Am not sure if this was just a coincidence (reason I did it was because someone else mentioned getting SERPs back when doing so).

    To become TOP in Yahoo search engine, I think quality Backlinks are the most important.

    I think the meaning of quality back links is different between google and yahoo.

    yahoo is a 'done case', open, down, close. Submit to yahoo and forget about it, its Google US that is more appearling to the mass markets.
