How to Optimize for Yahoo!

Thanks for the information, didn't knew that getting indexed in Yahoo Directory was so important.

 

interesting read...most of the time when I optimize for G, it does well in yahoo but no so with a certain keyword.
with G, I am #12, yahoo it is not in top 100.
It could be that I have no IBL for that page although the G PR is high and the internal page is on theme. Why Yahoo doesn't consider it important is beyond me.
I will work on IBL for it & I should see a similar improvement as a few other sites.

 

try out sheerseo.com. It helped me improve my yahoo ranking.

 

Can't understand why they share this to others...

 

Thanks for the link.

 

Thanks for the links.

 

i need the opposite i rank in the top 3 for all my keywords in yahoo but havnt even found myself in Google.

So working on a backlink campaign now!

 

Good article on yahoo SE .

 

Thanks Claudek for the link about optimisation for Yahoo. It's always the SE (if I consider only the main ones) where I have the worst results...

 

In France, Google has 90% (even more now) of SE market share, so most SEO guys are nealy only optimising for GG.
What I usually do is optimising, for GG and then with time, it works as well on yahoo. I nearly always needed more time though.

Some of the main differences I noticed:
- Yahoo takes less into account the geo-localisation of the server than GG.
Let's say a website in French is hosted in the US, it will appear better on yahoo.fr than in google.fr.

- Yahoo attributes more weight in the fact that the domain name contains the keyword than GG.

Has anyone noticed the same ?

 

That's right guys...you must to use their analytics packages from you bounch rate.

 

I have found that I rank higher for my quality articles on yahoo than google.

If you want to track yahoo position, use yTracker
