    My website comes in top 10 of Google search result for some keywords. But why it is not coming in top 30 of Yahoo Search result. I need to bring in top 10 results of yahoo for some specific keywords.

    I dont think yahoo can be a significant source of traffic.

    Be focused only with Google and all revenue can come only here.

    On-page optimization is significant for Yahoo. It is also sensitive to link quality so if you have poor link quality Yahoo will not respond properly.

    For ranking in Yahoo the following has worked best for me, and you can try it too, it'll work for you too:

    1-Keywords in content: you should sprinkle your keywords in your content

    2-Meta Page Title: Yahoo gives preference to the exact keyword match. Bing also does this.So try to put exact keyword/phrase in your meta page title

    3-Heading: Place your keywords in your page heading

    4-Alt Tags: Always put Alt tags in your images and they must consist of your main keywords.

    5-Outbound Links: Try linking to some established and relevant sites in your niche and make the anchor text for that link one of your own keywords.

    Think Google is the major player.

    Although Google is the major player but we should not forget about other smaller players, and up coming players too like Bing.

    Google takes into account factors like the On Page SEO and the Off Page. Yahoo has not been discussed too much in detail and there is pretty much things that remain unknown. But one thing that is certain that Yahoo has more focus on the On Page side of things.

    Yahoo cares more about on-page optimization than Google. Yahoo is also more sensitive to the quality of links. If you build a bunch of poor quality links, you may find that Yahoo reacts poorly.

    I think it is the same as for Google when doing SEO, and I would suggest to target your keyword first, create your unique and quality content then implement link building techniques to improve your promotions in a quality way.

    Yes i m sure is that not your keyword problem is that local search to website problem, because maximum people are come on Google not yahoo..so that's why your website not come on upper 30 websites non another Google.

    Unlike Google, Yahoo focuses more on your on page optimization. I also advice you to optimize for Google instead, less stress and more result.

    I disagree with what some are saying here about forgetting Yahoo as well as the other "smaller" SE.

    Yes, Google IS the big boy of SE but other SE are used by hundreds of thousands of people as well as Google.

    getting into the big boy club of Google is very hard for the most part - but if you get into the other SE then your total traffic will still equal the same amount as if you were listed in Google. PLUS then Google WILL take notice of your site as well ;)
    *NOTE* Everything I said here is based on you having a quality website with original content that mets the SE guidelines in general.
