I am not sure if you are aware of the fact that Bing is powering the Yahoo backend for organic search in the US, Canada, Australia, Brazil and Mexico. If you are targeting any of these countries you better learn more about SEO for Bing (it's not that different to Google, the same principles still apply). Here are some Bing SEO basics http://www.bing.com/community/site_...9/03/search-engine-optimization-for-bing.aspx http://www.bing.com/community/site_...good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-part-1-sem-101.aspx http://searchenginewatch.com/3641615
i think getting better ranking in yahoo could be through getting more backlinks and adding more content on different pages for yahoo search engine to index
You need not to worry about that. When you are having good ranking in Google then why you're looking at Yahoo. Google brings most of the web traffic and if you rank well in Google surely you'll get good ranking in yahoo as well may be it'll take a little bit of time..
You have to do blog posting , hub pages and knol it help your website to improve page rank in yahoo. this is easy way to get rank in yahoo and other search engines.
As you get lots of response regarding how to improve ranking in yahoo. I also want to say little bit more than they said how to improve ranking. From my point of view or seo experience its easy to get ranked on top position on any search engine either on google, yahoo, bing etc. But at the same time with the same keyword you do not rank well on yahoo as well as google. IF you want to rank on yahoo then you should go a lot of changes in your website as on page changes, content changes, link wheel in your site, regular content update with high key word density with specific keyword on which you want ranking and in the end a lot of off page activity like sbm, article and directory submission. press release, forum and good quality back links on high pr websites.
As what I know, Google gives back links a lot of weight. MSN gives your site contents a lot of weight. Yahoo is somewhere in between. So, I'd start with the site contents first by working on h1 tag, title tag, keyword prominence, etc. Keywords in urls may help, but they aren't that critical.
More for direct traffic than anything. If you get someone that can find questions that are directly related to your niche and then answer in a "non-spammy" way people will go to the site. I get a lot of traffic from Y!Answers to my sites. Plus the links will stay out there for some time. It also helps with 'link diversity' which some people think is important and others do not. They are high PR nofollow links so depending on your particular belief they are either somewhat helpful for SEO or not helpful at all.
you add your website in yahoo directory and make qaulity backlinks also for increase your ranking on yahoo search engine..
i'm still confused. my site did't move in yahoo serp. maybe i need learn.. learn and learn more about seo for yahoo.
Yahoo is still one of the meta based search engine pattern. If your meta details like description and title are perfect, your content has many keywords you can reach ranking easily in Yahoo.
Yahoo gives more importance for meta tags, meta title, meta description and keywords when compared with Google. Also it is important for you to get a backlink from a high page rank website. Thanks
I have tried the delicious bookmark, and it can help the ranking also. And more backlinks, the ranking go up really quick.
