How to get to the top of Yahoo

Backlinks and Content is what matters for all engines.
But you can buy your way through Yahoo.
Use Yahoo Search Submit. There are various options. I have gone in for the Basic program. It is very good.
+rep appreciated.

 

Thanks for all the knowlais great learn alot here

 

Use site maps and submit sitemaps.
Sitemaps in HTML and XML format.

Then use Yahoo related services :

Yahoo Answers with your link in the answer boxes.
Yahoo webmaster pages.

Tagging and Pinging with various services :

Technorati.
Feedburner.
etc. etc.

Bookmarking websites :

Digg and Stumble Upon.
netscape and Propeller.

Basically yahoo related services carry a lot of weight, the same as Google related services carry a lot of weight in Google.

 

I think yahoo's algorithm favors the quantity of backlinks you build rather than the quality.
If you build enough backlinks your ranking will improve in yahoo's serp.

 

Thanks for all the responses, much appreciated

 

Good content attract more visitor (more links, etc.) and make it to the top of search engine. imo.

 

I'd have to say with my experience with Yahoo and google you are 100% correct

If I show up in Google for a key word, it NEVER shows in Yahoo, if I show in Yahoo I can be sure it won't even register in the top 100 for google.

the only conclusion I can come from this is it's no fluke. yahoo monitors what key words google brings you up for and will not list for the same

maybe not in every case, but it's pretty close

 

Do lots of research on SEO !!

 

How to get to the top of Yahoo: PAY THEM

 

I don't optimize for Yahoo.
Usually when I rank N1 in Google, I rank N1 in Yahoo as well.

 

If you pay $300 a year for Yahoo directory then your site should do well in Yahoo SEPS
